How To Play Quidditch (CBS News)

[bazil270]

240p, we meet again

[legofreak4427]

I shop on Alivans.com, half my Christmas list was for stuff on that site.

[Rubinmonkey]

the brooms are kinda short :S

[PotterPower1997]

I hate how they have it only in USA, they need it other places, like Canada, and also they should have it for middle school and high school levels. if you agree, give this the thumbs up. :D

[STAYplatinumx]

@PotterPower1997 There is tons of teams who play, we have a team and we're from bc! and UVIC has a team :)

[PotterPower1997]

@STAYplatinumx they don't have one in New Brunswick :( i've checked.

[STAYplatinumx]

@PotterPower1997 Start a team :) If you read the rulebook it explains how to start one :D

[PotterPower1997]

@STAYplatinumx smart idea, first step, find rule book, even though i know most the rules.

[chivasmexicano1]

I found this easy to masturbate to

[blackvixen27]

@lipglosschaos muggles have slower manufacturing of the Firebolt. You know, no magic.

[jackrr10]

@lipglosschaos agreeed. Go rto party city! Buy a Fire bolt for 700 galleons! (15 bucks)

[AragornArwen187]

7 people r Death Eaters. And FTR [For the record] Firebolt is the fastest broom !!!!! LIARS!!! Oh yeah, and one more thing : Quidditch rules!!!! And Gryffindor's kick Slytherin's sorry butt!! LOL. I only mean Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson . NOT Snape. Snape born a Slytherin ,died a proud Gryffindor. RIP, Severus!

[atyourat1]

AGREED LIPGLOSSCHAOS

[SickAudi]

Damn... I really wish this was a real game and could actually fly around on Broom Sticks.. WTF

[SickAudi]

Where's the Seeker?

[jhalt9]

the ressurection stone is in him

[superdunce77]

"harry potter the mid life crisis"

"fakes laugh"

[SickAudi]

@superdunce77 lol that was so funny I was like OMG

[GazettEfan77]

I always wondered how they did the snitch.

[BlueBlondeBob]

He DOES NOT look like Harry Potter, he looks like James, stupid muggle -_-

[egirleagle]

@lipglosschaos that's what i was saying!!! I was screaming at him!! ITS THE FREAKING FIREBOLT!!!!

[AriaInTheSky]

Stupidhead! The Firebolt is the fastest! DUH.

[theguitarhero649]

Wait so are there seekers who try to get the sock out of the "snitch's" butt?

[coolragazzo94]

lol at 4:34

[mitdylan]

I don't think the interviewer is taking this  seriously...

[jamesthemaniac]

We're hosting this year's midwest cup! go Ball State!

[stofferheim]

"i have a sock on my butt" haha the guy's face at 3:20

[meltedxcrayons]

Man I wish they had a quidditch team at my college... lol.

[biblegirl]

I want to play!

[MonsterMarris]

LOOOL 

[megatron1598]

i also play quidditch with my bros... i play seeker...well i read it in the magazine...it says in the real life. the snitch is a person, it wears yellow shirt, and it hides,runs, etc.

[Harrypotterfan79]

No!! there is also the Nimbus 2001 wich Draco Malfoy plays on but I wholeheartly agree with lipglosschaos THE FIREBOLT IS THE TOP OF THE LINE BROOM

[goldenqilin]

Why do they use a broom? I mean they used the broom in Harry Potter for a reason...to fly. That's just stupid.

[deepice24]

@goldenqilin It's to keep the fact that they game isn't supposed to be completely serious. It's all for fun really, and it does present a huge challenge. It's hard to run and catch with that thing.

[jjlovesnetball]

Before i knew this was real i was all ready playing Quidditch with all my friends

p.s i play chaser and these are my rules

Chasers get the quaffle through 1 of three hoops

Keepers Defend the hoops

Beeters throw the bludger to the players to knock them on to the floor or let go the quaffle

Seeker finds the snitch whitch the keeper has hidden in the grounds

[jjlovesnetball]

Before i knew this was real i was all ready playing Quidditch with all my friends

p.s i play chaser

[Thayohvee]

Everyone knows you're supposed to wear robes to play.

[mrsbff123]

OMG... JAMES POTTER.... HE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[toothless555]

wow this is so stupid they got it ALL WRONG!!! THEY CAN"T EVEN FLY!!!!!

[cyphor09]

what of the beaters hahaha

[crb999]

you could come up with a more creative way to do the bludger otherwise.. nce work

[MissBossyLady09]

@lipglosschaos Maybe they mean that's the only model they have made so far, in real life.

[peevestheprefect]

cant be real till theres flying brooms and, by the way tech. crap looks now a days, i think it shouldnt be to long till we get um! i <3 HP

the fandom will NEVER end!

[tentengal65]

@lipglosschaos Um, this was aired in 2008.

[animalcrossingbiskit]

in quiddich you're not allowed to hit or touch other players, this is not accurate.

[jeemaurice]

@animalcrossingbiskit In quidditch, your broom flies for real. STFU

[animalcrossingbiskit]

@jeemaurice This changes NOTHING!

[jeemaurice]

@animalcrossingbiskit *TROLL FACE*

[AnalieSkywind]

FINALLY!!!

[haaylley]

6 Muggles are jealous because they can't play Quidditch :)

[rrf745]

@haaylley yup but im not one of them.....they probly cant play thats y they dont like it

[tsukune007]

@haaylley make that 7

[drublefizz0014]

@haaylley jealous isn't a word retar.

[TheYoubobble]

@lipglosschaos correct but they are using the cheapest that is reliable and fast to them they are in the dark ages my freind!

[7ferret7]

muggles can't play this!!

[hermionepotter2010]

he looks more like james potter

[hermionepotter2010]

he looks more like james potter

[2500dar]

Awesome face @ 3:19

[AgentSanSan]

@Mrwtffmoo Do they care? No. They're having fun. Play a game of Quidditch, no one's going to judge you for how you look. Quidditch in the book was never about being "cool". :|

[Sollett]

It is stupid because instead of a time limited periods (eg. 1 h) and scoring for getting one of more than one snitches (eg. 3 snitches, 50 pts each) in play while playing until the time is up the only point of this game is not to get a beating, stay under a difference of 140 or less and be the first to get the snitch. You are winning by 140 points, the opposite team gets the snitch, you lose; you are losing by 160 points, you get the snitch, you lose. So, what's the point of scoring goals?

[MrWtfmoo]

why the hell do they have brooms in their crotches wtf....this was way cooler in the book they flew here they look like idiots i made a random account just to tell the world this.

[alphaomegagiant]

@lipglosschaos well unfortunately, the muggle world is a little behind the wizarding world in technology so I don't think we'll be playing on Firebolts for a few more years. I'm surprised we were able to get Nimbuses to play on; I was expecting something like the cleensweep! LOL

[scottryan15]

They could use like and RC helicopter, the small controlable like remote control cars. They can custom make a RC snitch :P

[Takaheemuranastope]

@scottryan15 nicely done

[JahB0322]

"this man is to football what football is to football" what a douche

[jkao328]

@JahB0322 he actually says "this man is to quidditch what football is to football" :)

[hammer1234509876]

wow

[CIAprods]

Harry Potter: The Midlife Crisis. Lol :)

[korea902]

gives nerds reason to come back outside again

[MrYoyoyobc]

@korea902 so true

[Saukki12]

Wow, this is so cool idea! I hope that someday there will be enough interested people to play this in Finland, too. (8

[Inahzi13]

harry potter not harry pawter

[SuperDododododododo]

i want to play!!!!!!

[Burma701]

It would be the best if quidditch became an International sport.

[shrikechan]

Why the hell is there an ad for anti-Obama T-shirts with this video? That`s damn retarded. 

[newmewtonew]

HA!

numbus 2000's!?

its ll about the firebolt

[shrikechan]

@newmewtonew ...nimbus

[stormybormy]

Harry Potter and the mid-life crisis! NOT BAD! :)

[yoyocrazy101]

James potter look alike!

[AyriannahOllivandra]

I totally need to start a quiddtich league at my high school...

[nasa1998]

dave actually looks like james potter

[fenderkyle]

SO COOL!

[TotallySlytherin]

Incorrect.

Firebolt is first

Next is Nimbus 2001

and third is Nimbus 2000

I am too much of a nerd.

[CrueLittleNumber]

@TotallySlytherin

ACTUALLY Harry got the Nimbus 2000 first but it got destroyed by the Whomping Willow, then the Slytherin team got their Nimbus 2001's from Malfoy's dad. Then at the end of The Prisoner of Azkaban Harry got the Firebolt from Sirius. I'M too much of a nerd XD.

[FishChipsAndChris]

no he got the firebolt in the middle of The Prisoner of Azkaban :) and then he got it taken off him cos Hermione told the teachers

Im too much of a nerd

[colimasoo]

@CrueLittleNumber actually that was in the middle of the book, in the movie it was the end but not in the book,

[Twifreak1412]

Actually, the Nimbus 2001 is much more of a racing broom. Sure, the average speed is higher than a Nimbus 2000, but the maneuverability is about 20% down. I am too much of a nerd.

[111unlimited]

what about the seeker

[joshuaissac]

They chase the snitch and try to get the sock off him.

[CasimusxPrime]

I think they did this to tie over with Order of The Phieonix coming out that summer.

[biblegirl]

Dang it, now I have to transfer

[RavenclawGirl29]

That's it, it's official, I'm not going to any college unless it has a Quidditch team

[ColleentheBoyd]

I can't wait to start playing

[apx90]

if you're gonna stick brooms in your crotches and run around, you might as well wear tin foil hats too

[Rozza017]

Can anyone tell me where you can buy those Nimbus 2000s???

[IIDeadStarII]

Now all we need is flying brooms...goddamnit. I need those now, this is the second best thing though.

[Izzawizza]

im trying to start an intra-school quidditch comp at my school... hehehe

[purpleshamrock17]

that is SO AWESOME!!!

[Jusfrosken]

Love this.

Played Quidditch this summer, on a Harry Potter camp, team Slythering. It was really awesome.

[mkfan09]

Im going to show this to my freinds and play it in my back yard 2-on-2 {without the brooms because someone might hurt thierselves

[bestnameever13]

hurt themselves with brooms = retarded friends? lol

[raggedyanne89]

I think they should ditch the brooms. Someone might get stabbed in the nuts and I am sure they have

[doritoboy88]

this will become huge. i can tell. they will make it more like the books, and it will be awesome

[jimmihshs]

yes! soon we will all be flying on our numbus's! I can see it now!

[StealYoMoney]

can anyone answer why the RED ball isnt the quaffle? in the books its smaller than the bludger and by the looks of it, the volleyball (wannabe quaffle) is smaller. WHY ISNT THE RED BALL THE QUAFFLE??

shows that these people really are muggles

[supergirl123454321]

the big ball is the bludger because it hurts less when u throw it at people. this is real life my friend, these things require thought! and the volleyball is the quaffle because it makes the same dull thudding sound that a quaffle makes when it's not inflated until its under pressure. also smaller means less wind resistance, which is good for chasing. so shut up.

[ezmac097]

this is the funniest real world translation of a movie concept since jedi knight became a registered religion.

[TheWanderingRurouni]

I read about this on MLIA. Now I'm planning on starting a team at my college. MLIA

[boberw]

i noe where im going to collage MLIA XD

[anna2124]

omg ily.

x)

[boberw]

i love u too

[WarpTenth]

I'm jealous. Why cant we have fun like that in England?

Angry face here.

[sophievasq]

same here in laredo it sucks here

[bestnameever13]

cuz we be stealin ur books

[shinjanator]

i want those brooms lol

anyone know where i can buy one?

[umsharpie]

We have made cars, trains, boats, i-pods, why can't we make a real flying broom? I'm sure they will sell like crazy!

[TheHippoFish]

I would by that. I would by a hundred.

[CobraGTXNoS]

Yeah I think I would really like to try that some time to make one, that is now my dream.

[anna2124]

i think in the future, we'll even have working wands, it suck thought that we might not be here. :/

[purpleshamrock17]

well i did read once that scientists are working on an invisibilty cloak of sorts. :)

[bestnameever13]

me on a flying broom = deaths in the thousands in Liechenstien

[lizzie7703]

Wouldn't that be amazing if Quidditch became an international sport? Or at least at most universites!!

[wingman895]

could someone tell me what broom i should get. i know they'll all be toys but i wanna try this

[ebonyil22]

The fastest broom out there lol

I love watching people having fun =P

[SushiSiblingRoe]

*sigh* I wish I could go to Hogwarts...

[CasimusxPrime]

Enjoying your activities outside the classroom?

[SushiSiblingRoe]

haha yeah but nothing's as awesome as magic...

[drwholover17]

you and i think alike

[SH4D0WS74LK]

why dont they play without brooms and capes? wouldnt it look more normal instead of looking like idiots?

[SushiSiblingRoe]

because that's how it's played in the novels. It would be too easy with out having to hold the broom and the capes just make it fun. :]

[DrnKurdistan]

cuz it's quidditch

[wearestupid101]

I feel like the newscasters were like, making fun of them the whole time.

Well, I would too.

[bartmanhomerpickles]

Frankly, I don't understand why we're spending so much money on NASA when we should be using all of our available resources to make quidditch possible. If we put all our resources toward quidditch it couldn't be that long until we develop flying brooms.

[drwholover17]

i agree!ALL WORK SHALL NOW BE FOCUSSED ON MIGHTY QUIDDITCH!!!

[korea902]

@bartmanhomerpickles no......

[Amdog11]

@bartmanhomerpickles that would be amazing...

[XxMindofaRavenxX]

@bartmanhomerpickles So true

[krystal814]

they should be on rollerskates. 4 wheel.

[thothwisdom12]

I would play that just beacuse its full contact!

[ch5412]

how is the nimbus 2000 better then any other broom is it lighter

[MaYbYl8eR]

its magic

[SushiSiblingRoe]

I think that's just a reference to the books... maybe it is lighter though! :P I don't know!

[Thebigharrypotterfan]

I wish I could play.

[Hellmyerstwin]

whooo, i would so do that! (:

[Hellmyerstwin]

if you don't want to watch it, don't look it up, jerk.

[Hellmyerstwin]

woah, it really took you 7 months to come up with that lame come back? ^^

lame.

[Captaintrouser]

Looks like fun

[googleslex123]

i thinl that its stupid you have to run instead of getting moved. I think a better way is to modify a skateboad so it can fly. If you think my idea is a piece of crap, tell my you freaking thoughts it they are so much better!

[orcviking]

And how are they supposed to modify it so it can FLY?!?!?!?!?! You must be retarded, because in case you didn't know, the laws of physics don't agree with that idea.

[AslanGriffindorLion]

or use anti gravity tech like in anti gravity chambers and also how they make the technological dragonflies use that as the snitch

[orcviking]

Anti-Gravity Chamber? You know there's only one of those in the world, right? I don't think they'd let some college guys use it just for this.

[boch100]

lmao man. give this guys a break, they dont seem very bright at all

[cooldude1234333]

they should ride bikes around the field and have ramps to fly and shoot them through

[Nic1700]

I've heard of it being done with skates in like a gym with ramps like you said. The "bludgers" really messed people up so there was no need to have them freeze or restart at their goals.

[lotrhpnmask]

this is bs from muggles.

[xXxsakura87xXx]

strangly enough i can see my frineds and i trying this out...man we are such harry potter nerds

[Colladore]

Hahah! I would like to try it! XD

[WinryElric6390]

"Harry Potter and the Mid-Life Crisis" xD

EPIC!

[onedaymore92]

sigh....makes me fall even more in love w/ the school i probably won't get accepted into

[OLYMPIAisSPEAKING]

agreed.

[IAmANewYearsEveBaby]

wow these guys are major nerds! lol.

[mynameismunka]

[SushiSiblingRoe]

1st: Gay is not a synonym for stupid.

2nd: if it's so gay don't watch it.

[swifttiger]

I would defintitely play of it was real

[slackskater101]

[queenjaime]

[UltimatePS3Player]

wow what plugs

[ICommentYourLife]

I want to play!!!! :D Omg that would be soooo fun! Get together with some my fellow HP nerds and play Quidditch!

[NekoChanSenpai]
