But it was what happened as soon as we arrived, parked the car and got out that was really interesting.
A boy went running by on a broom.
A broom.
Between his legs.
Brock began to laugh as he explained, "Oh, my goodness. They are playing quiddich....you know, the game for Harry Potter. I actually ref'd a game earlier this week. There were a thousand kids there." About that time we rounded the corner to find close to a thousand of college kids... Some on brooms, many in costume, most speaking with a French accent.
Here is the article from the campus news of the day event:
