A band of Harry Potter-loving Huskies has taken up playing quidditch, the sport of wizards in the popular book and movie series, blogs School Zone. Naturally, they've made a few modifications. Instead of flying around on brooms, they run on a field with brooms between their legs chasing kickballs. And the golden snitch, a small, flying ball Harry has to capture to end the match, is actually a guy dressed in yellow running around campus with a gold ball tied to its back. Players say it's a lot of fun and good exercise. "It's a lot more athletic than you would think it is, just running around with a broomstick between your legs," one student told the UW paper The Daily.
