Ginny Weasley commentates on the 2014 Quidditch World Cup

There's an account of the opening ceremony too but I can't get it to show up big enough. If you have Pottermore you can read it on there.

It's not much, just your typical Wizarding whimsy. Why she's updating on one of the most interminable parts of the books is beyond me.

But anyway...anyone want a go at writing a more 'realistic' article? This is far too dry for Ginny. Where's there part where she jinxes Elodie Dembélé because Harry remarked on her talent?

Something SHOULD have been mentioned about what a fast paced game it was.

29 goals in 128 minutes - that's a one every four minutes or so - plus presumably there were blocked attempts that don't show in the score.

How long does it take to fly from one end to the other? And weren't the Beaters doing anything to slow the Chasers down? Or was it just back-and-forth?

For some good supplementary material to a universe, I would go read stuff like Watchmen, the news articles say things that are cleverly relevant to the main story, and the police reports are even full of clerical errors.

It was made as a big deal back in GoF that professional games are so quick in speed that you need those weird-ass binoculars to see the details. Every game that's worth a darn is fast-paced, methinks. It's like saying football/rugby is brutal and has lots of legal physical bumping going on.
