    I remember from the first time I read about the golden snitch in the books, I was like, “Oh, fuck off.”

    The worst part is that the game is a legitimate game if you just take the snitch out and add time periods. It’s flying soccer where there are additional magic balls trying to knock the shit out of everybody.

    That means that Rowling knew what she was doing. She created a real game, and then ruined it on purpose.
