>have 14 goal lead
>lose because that one guy couldn't catch the snitch
Have 14 goal lead
Why doesn't the entire team just ignore the main game and look for the snitch, then signal the seeker once they find it?
Games would be over in minutes
Quidditch was literally designed around the idea of Harry being the hero of every game. Harry is a Mary Sue.
If everyone was looking for the snitch then one guy from one team would stay to score normal goals. Then another from the other team would come back to defend. Then the other team would get one more for the slight advantege, so on and so forth, we're back were we started and we've wasted all of our time.
>Make a game for children
>make it possible for them to be knocked off their broom by an autonomous bowling ball and fall hundreds of feet on to hard ground
Why didn't they just use magic to make the ground a giant trampoline?
Are you really surprised that Rowling was unable to create a believable and fair sport for wizards when she created one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
why would parents voluntarily send their kids to hogwarts? what a dangerous retarded shit hole
>voluntarily
Harry's legal guardians didn't have any say in the matter, why would anybody else's parents?
deh
because JK Hackling is a superficial world builder
I don't remember how it works. Does the game end when one side gets 150 points? I only remember reading a passage about how a game lasted for days until someone caught a snitch.
months. a game can only end once the snitch is caught, and it awards 150 points. each goal is 10 points
>two trannies rage while millions of fans don't care
has she redeemed herself, Sup Forums?
holy fuck
Uninspired opening/10
You guys keep rushing to slap down an ebin pasta but don't bother getting creative.
it always pissed me off that the Hogwarts matches conveniently only last an hour or so. I wanted a match that went on for days, interrupting lessons
I have read one post that complained similar things and concluded that the game is designed by a person who hates football.
Is it true that she hates football?
It should have been 100 points MAX not fucking 150. That way there’d at least be some situations where the Seekers aren’t the only thing that decides the match
I think there’s one match where Harry needs to hold off catching the snitch because his teams so far behind
It was in a storm iirc, the snitch got carried off by the wind and took them months to find it
DEH
It was funny the first 5000 times, but now it's getting old.
>There are seven hundred Quidditch fouls listed in the Department of Magical Games and Sports records, though the entire list has never been made public (it was the department's view that some wizards and witches "might get ideas")
Dude lets have a rulebook the players aren't allowed to see because if they know the rules they might break them
Shes a woman
...that was how that post concluded...
looks like the mask slipped for a second there
in the 4th book when it's that world cup event, the losing team caught the snitch but were BTFOed by goals
We are unlucky to witness one of the dullest shitpostings in the history of Sup Forums shitpostings. Seriously each post following the Voldemort grimace and his ridiculous cry of "Deh!" as dehfags post assorted memes has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the memes’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make dehposting unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when mods vetoed the idea of banning the dehposting; they made sure the memes would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously inexhaustible shit content for this board. The dehposting might be anti-Potter (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Sup Forums posting in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. However, unfortunately, we still have to.
>a-at least first 50 times were good though
"No!"
The meme is dreadful; the idea was terrible. As I lurked, I noticed that every time a dehfag posted a meme, another dehfag replied to him with the phrase "BASED."
I began marking in the text file every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had my file size reached several dozen kilobytes. I was incredulous. Sup Forums's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that they have no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of dehposting by one of the baneposters. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are dehposting at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to post Bane." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you post "deh" memes you are, in fact, trained to banepost.
It's hard to make the dullest franchise seem inspiring.

Impressive. Very nice.
why did they catch the snitch then?
to finish the game quicker and not let his team get BTFO completely
it's kinda like that brazil - germany football match when it ended 1 - 7 for germany. Any half-decent team would've tried to stop germany after the 2nd or 3rd goal, but brazil just kept getting humiliated again and again
> ireland has the best team
What did she mean by this?
she always has been
the goblins in harry potter are hook nosed greedy bankers
