question.

According to The Official Guide to the Quidditch World Cup – produced by the International

Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee (ICWQC) and available through all reputable

wizarding bookstores for what many feel is the ridiculously overpriced sum of thirty nine Galleons –

the tournament has been held every four years since 1473. As with so much else about the wizarding

world’s most important sporting competition, many

query

the accuracy of this statement.

As only European teams competed during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, purists prefer to date

the Quidditch World Cup’s inception from the seventeenth century when it became open to all

continents. There is also heated debate about the accuracy of some historical accounts of tournaments.

A substantial amount of all post-game analysis centres on whether magical interference took place and

whether it made, or ought to have made, the final result moot.

The ICWQC has the unlucky job of regulating this contentious and anarchic competition. The rulebook

concerning both on- and off-pitch magic is alleged to stretch to nineteen volumes and to include such

rules as “no dragon is to be introduced into the stadium for any purpose including, but not limited to,

team mascot, coach or cup warmer” and “modification of any part of the referee’s body, whether or not

he or she has requested such modification, will lead to a lifetime ban from the tournament and possibly

imprisonment.”

A source of vehement disagreements, a security risk for all who attend

it

and a frequent focus for

unrest and protest, the Quidditch World Cup is simultaneously the most exhilarating sporting event on

Earth and a logistical nightmare for the host nation.
