Quidditch World Cup 2014: Norway v. Ivory Coast

Another note worthy event at this year's tournament. The two hour game was fun, fast paced, and full of drama. Head over to the daily prophet to read the full recap of the games by Ginny Potter. 

I hope you are all having a magical beginning to your summer adventures. 

Quidditch World Cup 2014: The Drama Continues In The 427th Opening Ceremony

Welcome Quidditch fans one and, all short and tall, I gladly introduce to you...  The 427th Quidditch World Cup!

 This past weekend marked the beginning of everyone's favorite international sporting event. With the introduction to the World Cup there was a headline in the Daily Prophet that read "Disastrous Opening Ceremony Leads to Questions About Quidditch World Cup Security." Now I wont go into detail about the contents of the article because there is no doubt that you already know every word. But for the few of you that got a bludger to the head and failed to read it, you can find a copy here.  All that I will say is that competition is fierce and that more wizards would do well to pick back up their copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

Dream Dust: What would come

"What's comin' will come, an' we'll meet it when it does." - Hagrid 

Take this quote from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and put it into a different context than the one in the book.

Dream Dust: Avis

Write a short narrative that begins with the line: “Suddenly he was coming at me” and use the Avis spell as part of the narrative. The Avis spell is used to produce a flock of birds from the end of your wand. When used with the Oppugno spell, it can be used as an offensive spell.

Dream Dust: Quidditch

Here is a bit of Dream Dust to get you dreaming and imagining!

As most everyone knows, quidditch is a very big part of the wizarding lifestyle. Write a short narrative about a quidditch game. You can write from any point of view and about any game. Be creative and push yourself to create new characters, games, and teams if you are feeling extra inspired to do so! You could also retell a game featured in one of the books from another person's or things point of view.
