Director Lawrence O’Flahavan and Boxer Films attempt to capture the real-world magic of Quidditch in the 30-minute documentary “Brooms Up!” which follows the 2010 International Quidditch Association’s 4th Annual World Cup. In other words, a bunch of Harry Potter nerds attending expensive liberal arts colleges run around on brooms, while attempting to participate in a sport that doesn’t actually exist. Meanwhile, their parents wonder where that $50,000 a year for tuition is going.

The translation of this fantasy game into a real life competition has brought thrills to veteran and novice teams alike. Originating with the first World Cup between Middlebury College in 2007 and Vassar College, the intercollegiate competition has picked up a frenzied momentum and rapidly developed into a fierce intercollegiate competition between over 100 teams for this year’s event on November 12-13, 2011 at New York City’s Randall Island.

Much like its fictional predecessor, Quidditch matches are played between two teams of seven players “riding” non-magical broomsticks, using four balls and six elevated ring-shaped goals (three on each side of the pitch), attempting to score at each goal while avoiding obstacle from opposing offensive players.

The game ends when a player catches the human snitch, who "craftily defies all rules to ensure that the players do not catch them," whatever that means.
