Still a better sport than Quidditch

Quidditch: The most nonsense sport in fiction.

Krum caught the snitch because he wanted to end games on his terms. He knew that they couldn't beat Ireland, they were too good. It's all in the book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 8: The Quidditch World Cup, page 114, paragraph 3.

I completely forgot about that, thank you.

Krum caught the snitch and Bulgaria still lost to Ireland. But other then that the point system in the books is a little upsurd. It was clearly designed to glorify Harry

I agree with you there. 

Krum's catching the Snitch and losing was just bad strategy on his part. If you're trailing by more than 15 points, why would you still go for the Snitch? You'd end the game and force yourself to loss.

FYI snitch catches are worth 30 points. Stop reading the book rules...

Stop reading Harry Potter books? (Don't let your fandom friends see you saying that. Good thing you're anon)

Why? I'm talking about the books. I'm not talking about Muggle Quidditch here.

Have you seen/heard of Muggle Quidditch? Its a much more exciting game (full contact, co-ed, human snitch shenanigans) and the snitch is only worth 30.

I've heard of it.

What is your reasoning behind you hating quidditch

For one, the absurd pointing system. A goal is 10 points and catching the snitch is 150 points. This makes it so that catching the snitch almost always means you win. There's no such thing as a "close game" in Quidditch. The only thing that would even come close is if the two seekers see the snitch at the same time, and one catches it. It makes the rest of the players irrelevant. The rest of the players' game play doesn't matter, as long as the seeker catches the snitch.

Have you ever played quidditch?

No, I can't fly. Running around with brooms just makes it even more ridiculous.

I don't get the point to this blog. Like, why make a blog just to shit on something?

Reblogging because as usual, Quinksy has found the perfect gif to sum up the situation.

Right well, when Twilight baseball goes to the Olympics, then we can talk. (ps. we don’t need Thunder and Lightning to play)
