Is ‘Harry Potter’s’ Quidditch Becoming A Real Sport?

The Harry Potter saga may have ended with 'The Deathly Hallows,' but a surprising number of now-adults who grew up with the boy wizard and friends are keeping the fantasy series going by actually playing the once-fictional sport of Quidditch.

Harry Potter and Friends Spotted in School Yearbook From the ’90s

J.K. Rowling was an unknown struggling writer when she came up with the Harry Potter universe. And when she wrote it into book form, it became one of the greatest rags-to-riches stories in publishing history. But what if Harry Potter didn't really come from Rowling's supple imagination? What if Hogwarts was based on an actual real-life school for wizards, making Harry Potter essentially non-fiction?

‘Harry Potter’ vs. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ – Which Is Better?

In one corner, we have 'Harry Potter,' the wizard book series by J.K. Rowling that spawned eight movies and an international franchise, and put Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint on the map. Even after Potter and his pals finished battling monsters, evil sorcerers and, worst of all, school bullies, their story is still being read a million times over.

In the other, we have 'The Lord of the Rings,' J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece -- other than 'The Hobbit,' of course -- filled with epic battles, quests, magic and that creepy Gollum guy. Even years after the last book in the trilogy was published in 1986, the world of Middle Earth is still seeing new films being added to its legacy.

Daniel Radcliffe Disses ‘Hugo,’ Says ‘Harry Potter’ Should’ve Scored Oscar Nod

Oh no you di'int, Daniel Radcliffe.

The former Harry Potter star, who's out promoting his latest film, 'The Woman in Black', told Radio Times he was disappointed ("miffed" as the Brits would say) that the final film in the franchise - 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2' - wasn't nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.  Especially "miffed" when you consider another certain Best Picture nominee.
