"So...Rowling was full of shit with that whole Quidditch thing right?" Wed Jul-22-09 06:47 AM by Lardlad95
I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, I don't dislike it, I just never got in to it. But I'm reading the first book to my nephew, and the whole Harry Potter universe is kinda growing on me. I read the first book when I was twelve and i remember it being a fun read then, so I'm thinking hey, maybe I'll start getting in to the series.
Well, I can't get past the whole quidditch thing...cuz u know...it doesn't make any fucking sense.
The muthafucka who catches the golden snitch gets 150 points? 150? The whole fucking game is set up to make Harry look like a hero and nothing else. Why don't they just have the game consist of a bunch of lithe/skinny muthafuckas chasing the goddamn snitch. Why do the other players need to be there? So they can accumulate what, 30pts tops?
Ok, I guess the beaters make sense if they start knocking cats off their brooms...but why do the Chasers have to be there? The game doesn't end until one team gets the fucking snitch anyway, it completely negates any contribution these cats made to the team.
European Miracle, I know you remember our debate a few years ago about Star Wars vs Harry Potter in terms of each universes' internal logic....well I'm calling bullshit on this one. I refuse to believe that a society of wizards could be so fucking stupid.
