How to Play a Real-Life Game of Quidditch

[risuchan454]

i thought of doin that for my bday ply quidditch (it'll be warm by then!)

[risuchan454]

the golden snitch is 150 points if u post up a video get ALL the facts 1st! :D

[TheEighthPotter]

My school may get this game...Depends if the principal approves.

[Toon999kinzpengwo]

LOL i favorited this 1 year and a half before I even read or watched Harry Potter.... BEST. BOOKS. EVAH.

[DanniiLIZ]

@11BusoRenkin11 This is Muggle Quidditch, not regular Quidditch. Not all the rules are the same.

[az123456789876543211]

i dont get to go to the woods everyday :(

[skullkid920]

You do know the beaters are supposed to stop the bludgers right?

[TheDarkMoonshine]

@skullkid920 the beaters also try to direct the bludgers they hit at the opposing team.

[11BusoRenkin11]

Well the 3 things that are wrong in this...1 the snitch is 150 points...2 their is only one tip off, once the quaffle goes through a hoop or is caught the keeper tosses it to another one of their team mates and the game continues...3 there are only two bludger's in quidditch

[narmolanya1]

@11BusoRenkin11 actually, the snitch is only 50 points and there are only three bludgers. these are the rules by the IQA (international quidditch association)

[thtrnerd221]

@narmolanya1 if you play by the IQA rules. There are many variations. It all depends on how true to the books you want the game to be.

[MrToystory2000]

in the books it was 150 points for the snitch and that meant that team one

[DraculinaxKonamii]

my friends and i are playing 8D i get to be the Seeker >w<

[recommendedmusic]

my high school has a quidditch team ^_^

[totesforgoats]

@recommendedmusic luckkkkkkkkkky........

[recommendedmusic]

@totesforgoats thank you :3 if you are still in high school or college you should suggest it. i know some colleges let students form clubs or create their own sports. and if you can find enough members you can begin a quidditch team in ur high school

[ROFLKitty34]

The middle hoop should be higher! D:

[randomstuffstuidios]

IDIOTS!!! there's only 2 Bludgers!!!

[jameroo3498]

Come on Fred and George YOU GOT THIS!!

[CalmDraven]

lol how to never get laid ? Oh wait thats not the name of the video? should be!

[bloomgregigloo]

"Griffindor wins!"

[renzdfcovers]

@bloomgregigloo Its Gryffindor

[bloomgregigloo]

@renzdfcovers My bad.. (Blushes)

[183heartz94]

tried playing this wif my sis and some fwens...=.= one of d chasers accidently pulled down the snitch's pants while taking d sock -.-

[slightlyinsaneXD]

My town actually has a quidditch team that plays at a local park every tuesday:)

[doriantaylor66]

wtf is Quidditch

[charcharose1903]

@MrRetardss its actually quaffle

[Mangaka75]

3/4 through the video I learned it was from Harry Potter.I don't like Harry Potter.

[123pixieboo]

@Mangaka75 FUCK U

[MrRetardss]

quarful not quoful!!!!!!!!!!!

[garoofiya]

They forgot to mention that among the "things you'll need" is a personal backyard forest with a huge clearing...I'm not doing that anywhere public

[sodapopmangagirl]

Win.

[egstaition123]

Harry Potter is English!! wooohoooo the best books ever are enlish! not american for once.!!!!!

[MrEtcorbit]

@egstaition123 Victory!!

[7ruthie]

OBJECTION!

The Golden Snitch is 150 points!

[MegaGUNRUNNERIII]

@7ruthie cough! *Nerd*

[CoastalCourage]

@7ruthie In Muggle Quidditch it is actually worth 30 points. That is what the IQA goes by.

[LOLVIDEOGAMESRULE123]

i have 2 questions:

1. i have a foam nerf ball. can i use that instead of a soccer ball?

2. is there a way to play with 2-4 players?

plz reply.

[6199Amber]

@LOLVIDEOGAMESRULE123 I dont think there is because even in Harry Potter there are 15 players and you need enough players to be the keeper, beater, seeker, and chaser. and if you want 2-5 players you need at least 2 of those positions.. So your answer is no.. lol

[Toon999kinzpengwo]

now, where to 14 Harry Potter lovers?

p.s. catching the Golden Snitch earns 150 points, not 50.

[Toon999kinzpengwo]

now, where to 14 Harry Potter lovers?

[thegtree1]

Three changes I would make:

1. If one team scores, the keeper of the team that was scored on can pass the ball back into play.

2. The seekers cant leave the playing field, but the snitch can. The snitch can randomly show up.

3. If a team is hit with bludgers 3 times without scoring, they must surrender posession.

[DadyPhatSacs]

wow really???? what have we come tooo??

[ariessflare]

My church is gonna love this*sinister laughter*

[TheGoltra]

You muggles always fuck everything up.

[AlexaLuvs]

HARRY POTTER FANS UNITE!!!!!

[xh0rsex]

since it is supposed to be a real-life translation of the game, they should lose the brooms. In the movies, they serve a purpose - as being the mode of transportation in the game, but in real-life Quidditch, they are odd and cumbersome, and there only real purpose seems to be nostalgic, in keeping with the films. It would be like playing hockey on dirt terrain, but still having to wear ice skates.

For real life Quidditch, you should lose the brooms.

[princedarkus1]

@xh0rsex so offense but why didnt you just put the last sentence as a comment

[xh0rsex]

@princedarkus1

Because I like to explain my reasons.

[princedarkus1]

WAIT< HELP ME OUT!!

If you get the golden snich, u win but what if no one catches it?

[jorgborb]

@princedarkus1 the game only ends when someone catches the snitch, so I think that if no one catches it, the game just keep on going

[princedarkus1]

@jorgborb yeah but what if everyone dies? LOL

[recommendedmusic]

@princedarkus1 for the game to end, one of the seeker has to capture the snitch,

the team that gets the snitch does not necessarily win, it is only because 50 points is a lot, so most likely the team that captures it will win.

[qwertykyle666]

i just realized that quidditch is snitch and quaffle put together....

[fredrand123]

@qwertykyle666 OH FUCK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DI..

[qwertykyle666]

@fredrand123 hahaha what?

[crafty25936]

@qwertykyle666 die

[qwertykyle666]

@crafty25936 ????

[crafty25936]

@qwertykyle666 he was gonna say die, but he died

[qwertykyle666]

@crafty25936 hahaha.

[Silvah777]

@fredrand123

He must have said Candlekack... Its alw-

[starscreamthe7th]

In other words, NERD ALERT

[motorstorm123]

Lol when I was in grade 4 I played this with class and the teacher was referee. Except we were inside the gym (it was clear of equipment) and we used these "scooters" (big flat board with 4 wheels) instead of brooms.

[5dragons2]

<3 this is THE COOLEST WAY to get kids active!!!!... lol

[tyler7002341]

it is an actural sport ive actually played it with my friends

[liviu811]

players must keep the broom between their legs.....and if they fall? XD

[5dragons2]

@liviu811 ROFL!

[Drunkenprophet23]

Don't hit the hoolahoop with the quaffal

[miketh33]

Oh my god. The preparation vs practicality of this video... awesome video, no doubt, but most people are going to pass on playing this haha. These videos are becoming much like entertainment now

[seabury]

@miketh33 Speak for yourself. I'm organizing a team as we speak.

[TheHaitian145]

this is pretty fucking lame -_-

[RustyEraser]

Omg, we should do this in PE! XDD They should make this an actual sport, muggle quidditch. Heck yes!

[recommendedmusic]

@RustyEraser it is :D

[SafteyPINProductions]

Our school has a Harry Potter club and we have been trying to find out how the game was gonna work out and now we know... YAY!

[GIazed]

My school has a tournament of this every year! theres like 30 teams.

[SmallvilleSoraKent]

They should play Quidditch back in Ireland.

I be part Irish, part Italian, part German, and part American Indian.

[shreibilltom]

@SmallvilleSoraKent sweet mix. some of my favorite nationalities. im italian. and quidditch should be a sport

[PSZeroRoxas15]

they have this at my school. i think i'm going to try it out just for fun

[MrBrian987987]

yup they are running out of ideas

[Turquoiserose13]

If only I knew 14 people who would actually play with me.

[jessie15273]

lol i only got 5...

[bs19boys]

i would i love quidditch

[hptwilighter]

Awesome job! :D

Only issue is that the snitch is worth 150 pts

[5dragons2]

@hptwilighter lol exactly....

[jthwdraco]

god, now i want to play this.

[PhantomOwnage]

Oh yes...

I remember once we played a quidditch game like this when I was younger.

The bludgers were bowling balls...

I got a bruise and cried myself to death at that time...

[bs19boys]

y would you use bowling balls?

[TheGreatMusicGuru]

Where did they film this? I love the landscape?

[mythfan007]

i played at UofA their of a culb for it

[rachelplh]

they play this exact game at reed college in portland as an intramural game. that's part of the reason why i want to go to school there.

[crazeeboutmuzic]

seems sooo cool ... :) but seems highly improbable to accomplish because you would need 15 people, and then who would want to be ref....also 14 brooms? who owns brooms nowadays, its all about the Swiffer WetJets

[jessie15273]

i played thison a swifter once (not the wet jet my friend had that lol)

[rosey4391]

mud bloods lol

[Bartimmeus]

I really want to play this.. Lol

[Skytheater]

I played quidditch with my school like 5 years ago what we used for the snitch was a small paddle ball attached to a string and someone would run and swing the paddle around the field and we'd have to catch the small paddle ball.

[Iceman3524]

I really want to try this.

[ElSlunko]

I'm a little ashamed that I want to try this.

[8Bit64]

it's a good idea, but you need 16 people in order to play... not to mention 8 balls and other equipment... but if you could pull it off, it'd be cool

[animeboylives]

I want to play this for some reason

'

[SiRHYPHY94]

did referee at 2:04 dieded?

[animeboylives]

do you think thats funny?

[SiRHYPHY94]

actually yea i do

[DrunkyMcLushLives]

How cute. A 15-year-old who thinks he's funny.

[crazzygirl100]

SKREW GOOGLE ADZ!!!!!

[fweedtasticis]

want to play this.

[jakewarning]

didnt they upload this a long time ago?

[TheElectricDreamer93]

Yeah. They uploaded this when Half-Blood Prince came into theaters a few months ago

[ohxlivia]

:10 - :13 was a SERIOUS that's what she said moment.

I couldn't help it. xD

[cooly227]

will try

[lolandpeace987]

in the book and movie i thin kthey explainit better

[rainbowrockzgirl]

w8, i thought it was 150 points? O.o

[NarutoMustDie12345]

they posted this last year...

[SuperJedders]

Hey this is a preety good idea. GJ howcast....now to obtain things in the you will need list....*looks around

[xoANONiMUSox]

video aspect ratio fail =(

[squidb8]

I noticed the Slitheryn chaser doesn't want to be indentified playing such a dorky game as LARP Quidditch.

[KenzieLynnLovesLife]

dude i would freaking rock as the snitch. i would climb trees =]

[lolandpeace987]

If I was the snitch i'd hide the ball

[ChannelUltimate]

that actualy sounds fun shame i probaly wont be able to find 15 players

[LeksServices]

I think I could play the game without the brooms. The brooms just seem tacky. {Giggles}

[TeaStrawberry]

@LeksServices the brooms slow them down which is part of it

[ThePhildalegend]

next on Howcast: how to stalk Daniel Radcliffe

[RandomGothicFay]

haha yeah!

anyone notice it was griffindor vs slytherin?

[hobonhan999]

WTH, MAN?!

[cordell1128]

why dont you just play FOOTBALL

[1313owner]

football is boring this looks fun

[Bardock992]

2:53

That's 150 points if you want to play closer to the book, not 50.

[TheWanderingRurouni]

That's also a huge amount of points and can easily throw a game. Muggles can't score that much.

[Bardock992]

Not with 1:48. Knowing my friends, the jerk who'd be playing the snitch would probably hide in someone's basement three miles away. Chasing the jerk would have to be worth it.

[xJaysrox]

I can't find 15 players :(

[DarkLink5270]

This should be called: how to have no life whatsoever.

[arnoldwii]

You should go back to first grade and learn proper grammar.

[orianiscool]

He did use proper grammar for the most part.

[lauralovesmuffins]

i love how one of the tags is actually "Hermione", lol

[niperwiper]

omg, i shouldn't want to do this so badly.

[kingbooforums]

i did this long ago with a wooden sword my dad made me and pretended it was a broom stick and got a sliver in my balls lol.

[erpoioloco]

cool, im gonna call 14 friends and play this over the weekend!!!

THANK YOU HOWCAST! not

useless.

[zappehflash]

We were never this intence playing quidditch back at primary school

[xqueensexii]

man... those are some weird people...

[DMB0918]

This is dumb.

[mightmareofgores]

PISS IN MY ASS!!!

[wangpronouncedwong]

Isn't the snitch worth 150?...

[FinalFormFenrir]

the snitch is an automatic win

[mamabear1575]

No it isn't. If you read the book they say the team who catches the snitch "usually" wins the game. The snitch is worth 150 points.

[polar7bg]

Yes it is :)

[ramsay2113]

lol my high school has a quidditch club

[marlo916]

this is gay. if i were the snitch, i'd just go home.

[OpalescentWings]

The brooms are for effect, P33.

[goldraine]

I don't understand why people see this is pathetic or the product of people with "no life." First of all, they are college students these videos during free time whenever they feel like. Second, they look like they had fun doing it, and really that's all that matters. Personally, I think this is a great modification to a game I'm sure everyone wanted to play ever since seeing it on the big screen. Kudos.

[xollinzolox]

There are only 2 bludgers

[Killa1442]

this seems like it'd be awesome to play! And good exercise too

[allenmoldovan]

re upload

[codypg]

some people have too much time on their hands

[llollercoaster]

CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO LARP TOO? That equally shows how little life you have.

[P33b4ugo2bed]

This is way too complicated. Plus you don't even need the brooms :P

[PrettyMami21]

this is kinda pathetic in a way

but interesting all the same

[zamrock20]

wow.. is all i can say

[TheAngryOtaku]

The rules are wrong. The snitch is 150 points and the bludger is a very powerful object.

In the books when someone is hit with one they break an arm or go crashing to the ground.

Other then that your rules are okay, well execpt for those gay, not even close robes your wearing.

also the snitch can be a small bouncy ball (only if you play in a closed space like a gym for example) it works better and it WAY harder to catch.

[Genesis604]

so play with bullets instead for a more realistic playing experience?

[meatballsub1]

more like bowling balls.

[brunette427]

LOOOOOOL WHAT?! brooms between your legs?.....

[mizbutterworths]

re-upload?

[Alkanator]

i swear that hey already have this up...

[Dakirran]

yeah I remember seeing this a few months back lol

[ddrfreak7714]

that actually looks fun

[totalembarrasment]

wow

[valhala56]

Funny how people can take a children fanatsy and turn into a real sport.

The only fictional sport I ever seen worth doing for real is Rollerball.

[nousernamemkay]

kinda cool ya know

[TheRetardsof08]

i would laugh if i saw someone do this

[WhenBadGuysTakeOver]

omg, funny

[Thefistof40k]

Aka. How to ensure that you will never get laid.

[Area51T]

OH NO

[coasterbrandon]

Cool but who has 15 willing people to do this and the time to set this all up besides you?

[NuMb3r1PuNjAbI94]

i would get bored and not play =\

[SkylineR034]

Nerds much?

[MehdiGlz]

This looks very funny, I wanna try it someday. PErhaps there'll be quidditch at Harry Potter's theme park

[zukoxaang]

YAY! THEY REUPLOADED!!

[kayore611]

best how to video thus far.

[DaveyHatchet]

Re - Upload? Or redone version?

[okpapereat]

they did this one already
