    'We'll bet thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, three Knuts, ' said Fred, as he and George quickly pooled all their money, 'that Ireland win - but Viktor Krum gets the Snitch.'

      why the fuck would anyone watch quidditch such a dogshit sport the only player that actually matters is the Seeker and if catching the snitch won't win their team the game then the only thing they should be doing it beating up the other team's seeker until the chasers make up the points deficit.

        And yet you are posting nuanced critiques of an imaginary TERF island sport in a thread about election predictions

          ...

          They made a Quidditch game on PS2 and the whole game is just filler until you get the semi-random event where your chaser is coming up on the snitch. You could afk and just pick up your controller in time to catch it and you'll win every time.

            Oh my god that’s hilarious. Still better than the game made by the gamer gate nazi

            As a kid I absolutely loved that game but it’s because I won every game against the cpus like 180 to 0 so I could just chill during the snitch minigame that should’ve been the majority of what mattered

            Also wow it’s so obvious that JKR has never watched a sport Jesus Christ

            chaser

            Knowing Rowling's politics, I can't help wondering about the longshot chance that was a Freudian slip.

        I guess it's fitting that an imaginary game dreamed up by a deranged transphobe would have a position called a "chaser." :thonk-trans:
