Brooms Up! - Quidditch World Cup IV documentary

[willmoore78]

This is a lot of things, fun, childish etc but deffo not cool

[ceciud]

we're the Harry Potter generation!! <3

[AlexandertheXV]

@ceciud No wonder you're the most raped generation, let's hope you get to be a statistic too.

[NinjaxXxFreedom]

START THE GAME ALREADY

[jamiec24925]

is there one for 2012?

[AlexandertheXV]

This is retarded!!! The number one requeriment to play is to fly, what the fuck is this!?

Have a little respect for yourselves, play a real sport. People who play dodgeball now don't have to be ashamed, because this is worse.

Why play with the fucking broomstick, in the books is to fly, here is just to have something up yor ass or what?

Humanity is fucked.

[Xenolinguistica]

@AlexandertheXV how do you define a "real" sport? The dictionary says "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc."

II think this fits the definition. The broomstick is there because, presumably they tried to recreate the game in the books as close as possible. I can think of many arguments why humanity would be fucked but this is not one of them.

[AlexandertheXV]

@Xenolinguistica Ok fair point, the only real sports are motorsports, the rest are just games... I wouldn't mind it if they played without the broom, but with it it's just retarded and utterly stupid.

I am not saying they shouldn't be allowed to play it, the can shove the broom up their ass if they want, but I am expressing my discomfort at seeing such a stupid and dangerous practice, some could get seriously pregnant.

[andresararat]

where's voldemort?

[LilyNThorns]

This is a hilarious fun good time!

[ilaiduran]

Please tell me this isnt real XD

[MrKeremk]

me and my friend are trying to establish the first quidditch (school)club in our country after seeing all these colleges i am really loking forward to it :)

[fhorn4ever2007]

Im so glade potterphiles are this cool - so proud to know people love it as much as i do ^_^

[boo101ism]

[MrsLuEvans]

AWESOME , I want Spain to have a quidditch team 

[MizzJessika18]

Us Harry Potter fans are just too awesome. xD

[lovelylilyy100]

cant wait my quidditch goggles come in tommorow

[KyraDeAngelis]

:(((((((((

NOOOOO!!!! i wanna live in the usa or uk......... in my country there is never something as awesome, AWESOME!!!, like this

[whielyex]

@KyraDeAngelis If you're in Australia, we have plenty of quidditch teams :D

[KyraDeAngelis]

@whielyex noo.... I live in Vienna, Austria, in the middle of Europe and we aren't cool therefore we don't have quidditch teams :((

;P

[whielyex]

@KyraDeAngelis Awww :( You could always get a bunch of friends together and start a league? Buy a bunch of sausages and burger rolls and hold a free bbq! That'll get some people together :D

[cqbuckley]

Looking for kids grades 4-8 who would like to play Quidditch, near or in DC

caitlinquinnbuckley@yahoo.com

[thisunaveragelife]

My college just started a quidditch team, and I am soooo excited!! I'm the most unathletic person on the planet and have never been in shape in my entire life, but I'm willing to change that to play quidditch. Who would've thought that my nerdiness would be the reason for me to become an athlete?

[vossity]

hahahahaha. I love how at @9:07 they're all like, "you actually do float... for just a second". Please, it's your imagination xD But srsly- not bashing this- I love it. This is so legit. :b

[lovelylilyy100]

i want to start a quidditch team its good excercise and it looks fun any advice

[abads92]

as a quidditch player and participant in world cup 2011, i must say this shit is intense. To all those who think quidditch is for nerds, im pretty sure anyone who plays quidditch can deck u in rl. Our workouts and practices are legit, so get at us "haters"

[kingye456]

your incredibly sad people ...

[funkalicious02]

@kingye456 Did you even watch the video, idiot? They are clearly some of the happiest people around.

[deepice24]

@kingye456 We don't own incredibly sad people, but considering you decided to write this, I suppose you're sad. :( I'm sorry about that.

[OhNoFireMen]

@kingye456 its called living out a dream, you dick. I for one would love to participate

[tArchStantont]

Can the snitch run around with his cock out?

[sinkingship101]

20 Deatheaters...

[HungarianHQ23]

13:21 lee jordan is the best commentator... u suck.

[sneakyleaf12]

Lets hope this keeps up, and more teams keep forming and popping up



[TiggerRah]

So... when's J. K. Rowling gonna come watch??

[YossarianTheMeerkat]

those brooms need to be softened...at least coated in foam. the potential for all kinds of injury because of those things is too real

[newbetomfan]

Awesome-ness! I've made a British quidditch team called the Silver Streak Wolves but now I think were going to have to do try-outs so many people want to join!!!!

[Lajvaren98]

About 20:09 I started thinking about Doctor Who

[23Nellie1]

This is sooo cool! My friend and I are trying to start a team in our school, hopefully it works.

[GamerChick9000]

My life is complete. ♥

[5thEagle]

This is bad. I might have to play this over track in college.

[supersingerevan]

"America's Finest is my favorite quidditch team." - Rick Perry

[bethlovesrupert]

I really want to be able to play this when I'm older :') Harry Potter is a big part of my life. I ADORE QUIDDITCH!

[ThisIDontLike]

Am I the only one here who thinks this is really gay?

[HarryPotterAddict11]

@ThisIDontLike Yes. Yes you are.

[ElisaN92]

@ThisIDontLike shut your ungodly lopsided mouth

[ThisIDontLike]

@ElisaN92 Didn't use my mouth to type...LOGIC IZ FR STOOPID PEEPLZ OMG LOL

[michaeljacksonloveri]

Its nerdy :) and everyone who has problemes : GO TO HELL !! Quidditch 4ever<3

[kylersommer]

what is the song at the end?

[practicalmagic9]

what a nerdy good thing!how cool!

[Parvanibelle]

And I'm a SNITCH

[StudioGimmick]

This is incredible. Knowing people are willing to do this for the sake of having fun and playing REAL quidditch is just amazing. I love Harry Potter and hope I get to be apart of this in the future. (:

[Reliken]

Excellent video. Real life Quidditch is much more intense than I thought it was. This was really well done and very informative. Nice work.

Also, that swing band at the end was superb.

[phogg04]

Every fiber of my being tells me I need to troll this with reckless abandon, but I would have no idea where to even start...

[hotbeefo]

@phogg04 Pretty sure the whole thing is a big troll by them.

[WulfSoldat]

this is just slightly above larping. very very slightly.

[GeorgiiiJ87]

Wish i could attend the world cup! Why is it not in England? :/

[MyEvilapple]

I AM SO ATTENDING THE NEXT QUIDDITCH WORLD CUP AND GETTING MY FIRST WAND AND BROOM, FORGET UNIVERSAL, I'LL GET MINE HAND MADE LIKE IT SHOULD BE! LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!

[rokstargirl123]

i'm factoring in whether or not a school has a quidditch team into my college decisions ;)

[musicfiend49]

I'm genuinely surprised at how many homophobic, anti-nerd, and anti-fun people there seem to be in the comments. How did they even find this video anyway? Searching for something to hate on?

Aside from that, this documentary is amazing. I love seeing camaraderie like this, and I would love to be in the crowd!

[mcgillogon]

Oh WOW im going to start a team at my school now! that's amazing! did anyone else wonder why they called it a world cup though? the only other country was Canada :P

[lilsamich47]

@mcgillogon It's a world cup because every team that an official member of the IQA is invited to register. Those teams are just pretty few and far between outside of North America.

[GloSkul]

Being the Snitch looks like it's a blast

[Bluetiger06]

Fucking awesome. Haters go to hell. :P

[emberakatioreggae]

are you fuckin kidding me? the most stupid thing i have even seen



[marinerodeaguapura]

I´m sure that normal people do not such thing

[BenImrie]

well this is gay :)

[TheGhasts]

@BenImrie LMFAO

[CemeterysOfAngels]

Awesome! I should start a quidditch team at my collage.

[MrBlademaker]

ok, you guys use a broom between your legs.. and u feel powerfull

[arkadekilla]

seems fun

[reinventlove210]

I NEED TO GO TO ONE OF THESE.

[juditK2007]

Hold on 30 points for the snitch? Wasn't that supposed to be 150? Since you're changing the rules why can't you let the poor players not run around with a broom between their legs? At least until we can make actual flying brooms. Please.

[sazzagee97]

@juditK2007 It's because there is little chance of a team scoring 15 goals before someone catches the Snitch, so it would make scoring pointless :)

[MistahPio]

@juditK2007 The 30 points-thing is to reduce the importance of the catch, the broom-thing is to make it stay quidditchish =D

[SyriacP]

Middlebury recruits jk

[Stig53KR]

World largest gathering of virgins.

[suzakunomiya]

@Stig53KR World largest gathering of AWESOME.

[girlypie101]

I have three more years till college....PLEASE LET THIS STAY ALIVE UNTIL THEN!

[CytolysisMaster]

Definitely joining the McGill Quidditch team next year. :)

[Sarahvampirechic11]

So I am really annoyed with Soccer by this point because it is all my lil sister and my mom talk about and so they could have a soccer documentary set up exactly like this one and I would walk out of the room....but QUIDDITCH IS SO FREAKIN EPIC!!!!

[Sarahvampirechic11]

Mom: Sarah, you need to be more active. I think you should do a sport..Basketball?

Me: No, too annoying and too much jumping

mom: Soccer? Softball? Oh, I know! You love volleyball!

me: NEVER, no, and not enough to play it

mom: then what?

me: QUIDDITCH! PLEASEPLEASE!

mom: ...........

[MistahPio]

One of the main thing I envy to the USA: having Quidditch teams.

Italy sucks. =(

[MistahPio]

@MistahPio *things

[SominiFonsi]

This is like the Trekkies of the present...

[Ca1619Guy]

intense

[Potar4y]

Actual wizzards are looking at this and going "Merlin's pants those muggles never stop to amaze me"

[hopelesslyinsane]

@Potar4y hey, at least we know the function of a rubber duck :p

[newrydoll]

Great Film !!!

[mindsendStoryweaver]

Just imagine if you got a couple teams few people together over a huge lake with those water jet packs, with just part of it sectioned out for the majority of the game, With the Snitch being attached to a remote control helicopter? That'd be a possible way of doing it in the full three dimensions with todays technology.. Though incredibly expensive haha.

[hellomateyinnit]

football players would have a field day

[loonylovegood27]

I remember about 10 years ago reading the Philosopher's Stone thinking "what if people played quidditch. huh..." I never thought it would actually happen! although they do look silly running with brooms, I would love to play for a team one day : ) I love harry pottttteeeerrrrr!

[IgnisNimius]

GO TUFTS!!!!!!!

[MrDoomKitteh]

Sorry, looking at them with the brooms between their legs makes this impossible to take seriously. Ahahahaha.

[DeaCalliope]

The human SNITCH??? Unbelievable!!! :))

[tisha2011]

Ugghhh, can I please just be apart of this?

Someone start a Quidditch team with me.

So we can go to the Quidditch World Cup.

And lose, and not care.

I just REALLY want to experience this.

[halfbreeddemon]

Quidditch taking over baseball? Naturally. Silly muggles. Quidditch is a REAL sport. :D

[abcdefghijkati3]

I wish I was a tuftlepuff! ;D

[tamerseeker]

Quidditch - "A game for ambivalent housewives"

[Ephyne]

This is totally going to be the sport of this century.

It's already awesome as it is. Just wait and see 'til the technology catches up.

(I'm totally joining my school's team. It's too late this year, but I am soooooo joining for next year.)

[ivyaya56]

Where can I watch the games online? Is someone streaming it?

[Ephyne]

@ivyaya56 internationalquidditch . org :) My team's playing-- Gonna watch on Sunday. :D

[TheStyleTiger]

i was at the Penn-Middlebury game-

the snitch went through our chairs and my dad tripped him accidentally!

[TheStyleTiger]

Baddassilisks are WINNING this year!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I'm gonna show up in the crowd footage somewhere :)

[CraftyTeo]

Totally going to start a team for my high school now!!!!!!!

[SwordMasamune]

If I was in better shape I would love to start a non affiliated team, [since I am out of school lololol]

[quinkish]

this most definately has to be brought to england since thats where the book originates

[GokuKyoWALKER]

America's Finest look like the Slytherins!

[GokuKyoWALKER]

this is INSANE!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[Frixcon]

Never would've guessed that such a small yellow ball could toss all those guys around T_T

[brotherofAnubus]

Music from Beast Machines. Nice Touch.

[H3FFD0G]

pleasantly surprised by this. couldn't bring myself to play it personally, largely because of the broom sticks, and i'm not a harry potter fan, but the organisation of the event and athleticism, tactics and strategy of some of the teams make this pretty spectacular in my view. so fair play. also, i just love how annoyed the guy is at not being able to play baseball

[hooptastic1]

we got some wands from Alivans - GREAT service and product! So fun!

[bookthief24]

I have come to the conclusion that this is BLOODY AMAZING!!!!

[0liverwarren]

When ti shows all the brackets, before the final game was played, it said Middlesbury 100, Tufts 50. No need to spoil the game is there guys =\ Okay its not that hard to see, but I saw it.

[lizbizz1234]

woah did they play justice at 21:55 LOVE THESE PEOPLE



[WISERmixes]

fuck you 16 people. nuff said

[OlympicRocker]

HAHAHAHA snitch would be the best job EVER!!!!!

[Crashco17]

What in the mother fuck.

This would be bearable if they didn't have a goddamned fucking broom up their ass. Go play a real sport people.

[itstristanyo]

@Crashco17

>run around and try to score by throwing balls through hoops, all while playing dodgeball at the same time

>implying that's not a sport

[Crashco17]

@itstristanyo

Greentexting and implying on youtube? Cool story faggot. If you had reading comprehension you would realize I said "real sport." Hence I concede that this is a sport, but it is not one that is widely accepted nor do I feel it requires much physical ability. This is called an opinion. If you want to shove a broom up your ass and run around and throw foam balls at someone else while jerking it to some Harry Potter character, then go for it.

[whattheholf91]

This is such a retarded idea for a sport.

[iWish09]

I'm not much for sports, but this is something I could get in to.

[Yertz1]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[mountlandlass]

I wish that there were more teams in England, I don't have the money to go to America for the world cup.

[seandiggitious]

@liketurqouise i believe it exits.... they just posted it on movieweb.com for the 2011 world cup.... what. the. fuck.

[liketurquoise]

@seandiggitious erm "exist" yes?

[PrettierThanMatt]

This is really cool! I want my local university (The South Carolina Gamecocks) to start doing this. I would go!

[2cvsrule]

Only in America...

[ISBN1231]

@2cvsrule Actually, no, because there were Canadian teams in this :P

[YossarianTheMeerkat]

I came to this doc with the expectation that i found find quidditch the lamest thing possible. However I am totally impressed and would partake in quidditch given the opportunity

[liketurquoise]

Is this real or is it some sort of joke?

[verukohp13]

@liketurquoise If it were a joke it'd be a pretty elaborate one don't you think? And a complete waste of money.

[ShilohOMG]

Rowling would be so proud. AMAZING

[pointwhereheartstops]

too cool

[tboyd1632]

creepy. mustache. guy. 10:54

[1eaglenest]

hey ever one i am putting together a quidditch league called the muggle quidditch league or the MQL and its a league out side of colledge and we are looking for new members and the first team to inter the league is the milton flyers if you want to join the MQL hit me up at djmcalpin@yahoo.com

[steventhejew]

sooo happy! just made chaser this week =D

[OscarCousin]

What the fuck did I just watch

[cmillband]

You have to bring this to England :)

[charcharchar182]

amazing!! i want this to come to england!

[xXAwesomeAshXx]

CAN I BE THE SNITCH?!?!

[MrSkippy216]

16 people wanted to play baseball

[cachouski]

ah yeah mcgill! Montreal represent <3

[PurplePandaEyes]

If my school had this as a sport option, I'd actually try in P.E.

[EmeraldWo1f]

I can't wait for the day this sport becomes official. It's going to be huge! Can't wait for World Cup V one week from today. Go Tufflepuffs!

[davescrazysocks]

it makes me happy that people like this exist =)

[Lizy137]

There is just one thing which makes me sad: why wasn't this sport invented/transformed/realised in Britain?

[thewildone]

Dear lord, this is going to be a real sport in the future, isn't it?

[SirLirin2]

@thewildone Haven't you noticed? It kind of already is. ^___^

[BK6KM]

What music are they playing?

[ryanjtang]

its JOHNS hopkins.

dont forget the S :P

[soundersbloke]

In 50 years, it'll attract millions to a vertical stadium with players strapped to jetpacks. I can actually see this becoming HUGE and I would convert from soccer to qudditch

[solticpanzer]

This.....is a lot more violent then I thought it would be

[bookthief24]

@solticpanzer It is quidditch! what were you expecting? a tea party with hufflepuff maybe?

[Ashiya223]

@solticpanzer We nerds are actually very athletic. How else you you think we can out run and dodge the popular kids?

[Potar4y]

@Ashiya223 ahhahhaha exactly :)

[guyguy1800]

@solticpanzer Dude, in the second movie, Harry gets a broken arm and that is just the start of many worse injuries. Yeah this game f*cking intense.

[Swotsy]

@guyguy1800 no, he loses the bone in his arm.  xD

[warhawk333]

As a documentary it's pretty cool but I can't imagine how running around a field with a broom shoved up your arse is fun at all. Apples and oranges I guess.

[Snotnarok]

Maybe I just dont get the whole game here but as I gather they use the brooms to fly in Harry Potter and they help the player catch the thing. Now in reality the broom is a handicap because you have to hold the thing and not ram it up your friends backside. Yes I'm sure that takes away from the Harry Potter mythos but yeah, interesting video regardless.
