Quidditch World Cup will be played in Kissimmee
Kissimmee has captured the golden snitch of sports events: Quidditch World Cup.
Hard as it may be to believe, the game played by Harry Potter and his wizard pals on flying broomsticks is now a growing sport among mere muggles.
About 2,000 athletes and 20,000 spectators are expected to descend on Central Florida in mid-April for Quidditch World Cup VI, based on the game invented by Potter author J.K. Rowling.
If you're wondering, there are broomsticks in human quidditch, but they don't soar.
