Quidditch

MIDDLEBURY, VT - OCTOBER 26: Middlebury College hosted the first large Intercollegiate Quidditch Tournament.

Quidditch, the sport from JK Rowling's Harry Potter books, was adapted into a real-life game which began at Middlebury College in 2005. The sport is a cross between soccer, dodgeball, and rugby.
