While Charlotte and others were still filming "The Mummy" in the Moroccan desert, according to the previously agreed plan, the ABC television network in the United States broadcast a video of the game.

It's not football, it's not baseball, it's not the NBA or ice hockey.

It's not even soccer in the United States, but it's the number one sport in the world.

— but a Quidditch match.

- Quidditch match in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Moreover, it is not placed in the time period when the animation is broadcast, but in the time period and channel where the sports game is broadcast.

- Of course, this is also because there are no real sports matches to be broadcast live during the originally chosen time period.

In short, this news has made "Harry Potter" fans and sports fans across the United States confused-

J· Can K. Rowling's fantasy wizarding sports really appear in reality!?

Although viewers with IQ can realize that this eighty percent is part of the promotion of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the ABC television network dared to be so skinny and broadcast this "game" on a channel that actually broadcasts live sports, which still makes everyone can't help but be curious.

"I'd like to see what the damn 'Quidditch' is all about, and if it's not good, I'm going to call and complain!"

Before the "game" aired, Pierce muttered indignantly.

In front of him, there was a dozen beers and quite a few side dishes to accompany the wine.

- This is the usual configuration of Pierce when watching the game on a daily basis.

As a middle-aged man who worked as a quarterback in high school, and although he has a high belly and only one ab left, but still loves to watch sports, Pierce would have scoffed at movies like "Harry Potter".

"I might as well go to a rugby game when I have that time!"

In life, Pierce rarely went to the movies.

As a middle-aged man who doesn't have much spare time, he spends most of his leisure time in front of the TV drinking beer and watching games.

So, when he heard ABC predict that he would be "broadcasting" a Quidditch "match", Pierce's first reaction was ridiculous.

But in addition to feeling ridiculous, he was also really curious about what the so-called "Quidditch match" was like.

In fact, many people who are similar to Pierce, who like to watch sports games, but don't know much about the Harry Potter series, have a similar attitude.

- Many of them also intend to watch this "game", but if they are not satisfied, they will definitely lash out.

In contrast, fans of the Harry Potter franchise – whether they are fans of the books, animation, or movies – are left with pure pleasure.

- What used to be only a matter of imagination, with only half of the claws shown in the film and TV animations, is now finally a glimpse of what a real Quidditch match looks like.

Therefore, people who rarely watch sports games on weekdays also tuned to the channel that broadcasts the game this time, preparing to cosplay fans once.

For example, Emily.

And this time, Gianna sat with her in the dormitory, waiting for the "game" to begin.

Unlike Emily, who grew up watching horror movies, Gianna is a novice in movies, but she knows a lot about all kinds of sports.

In fact, she served as a cheerleader on the varsity football team while she was in high school.

- Based on Gianna's previous personality, this is not surprising to Emily.

To her surprise, Gianna was familiar with the rules of rugby, related events and even star players, and looked like a real fan.

"I thought this guy would just mix and match with the players and develop them into his own "fans" by the way!"

Glancing at Gianna's "fat-filled" chest beside her, Emily thought with some viciousness in her heart.

After a trip to the British Isles during the summer holidays, and even a visit to Hawking in Cambridge with the Sheldon Four, Emily and Gianna's relationship has improved a lot.

Sometimes, though, Emily still has some scorn in her heart for her roommate.

Of course, Emily won't say it now......

In short, after watching the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", both of them became more interested in the "Harry Potter" series.

- Emily even bought the second book in the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Although the thickness of this book seems to be a little thinner than the first one, it still feels very good to read.

And Gianna didn't buy the original.

It's not because she's not interested in a sequel, it's because she has a better goal to wait for-

The second season of the "Harry Potter" series is about to be broadcast on the ABC television network, and the content is the second "Chamber of Secrets" that Emily has already watched.

As a fan who was pulled into the pit by animation from the beginning, Gianna is still most interested in animation now.

And the ABC TV network also previewed this special "game" by the way behind the trailer of the anime, so today Emily and Gianna will sit in front of the TV and watch the sports event channel that is rarely watched on weekdays.

"Here we go!"

A low cry from Gianna interrupted Emily's ramblings.

She looked up, only to find that the TV screen had changed to a Quidditch match—

"It's kind of like a football game ......"

"Fans," Gianna muttered.

On the screen, the players of the two teams each grabbed their own broomsticks, one-on-one, and walked into the vast Quidditch playing field hostile to each other.

The uniforms of both sides are red and green, which is the team uniforms of Gryffindor and Slytherin in the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Ah, that's Harry Potter! and George and Fred!"

Gianna cheered excitedly.

The characters that appear on the TV screen are still 3D characters, not real people. But compared to the previous TV anime, it seems to be a lot more refined.

"So, is this actually the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match from the first book?"

Emily pondered.

On the other hand, Pierce, who is a real fan, not a fan, is scolding -

"This kind of kid's thing!"

Pierce grunted.

Although he also took his children to watch "Toy Story", and even liked the animated movie, he still prefers real people for sports events.

However, even so, driven by curiosity, Pierce did not change the channel or turn off the TV.

And just then, Pierce's eldest son, Ned, walked in—

"Dad, you see me—wow, is this FIFA!?"

As the son of sports fan Pierce, Ned has naturally been nurtured in this area since he was a child.

However, while he also enjoys playing various ball games, Ned seems to be more interested in sports games on consoles.

- For example, the "FIFA" series produced by Electronic Arts.

Although in reality, Ned, like Pierce, prefers rugby.

After all, both father and son are typically Americans......

Anyway, the first thing Ned saw was when he saw Pierce watching the broadcast and thought his dad was playing a sports game.

To this, Pierce retorted,

"Look, it's TV! And it's not football, don't you see the ridiculous broom they have in their hands!"

"So, this is the "Quidditch" that ABC TV network said earlier?"

Pierce shrugged.

Unexpectedly, Ned sat down,

"Then I'll take a look!"

“......”

Just when Pierce stared, wondering whether to discipline his son, the game began-
