In this episode, we discuss why we absolutely need quidditch for a function story. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      1:30 Quidditch reminds us of the magic of this world, and ties the story to reality. However powerful Voldemort is or however detentions Harry gets, quidditch will always be there to remind us just how magical the castle is.

·      13:00 It develops the plot socially. Harry and Draco’s relationship is explored on the quidditch pitch. In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry’s past and the dementors are exposed during a quidditch game. We could argue that both Ron and Hermione, and Ginny and Harry got together in no small part because of quidditch.

·      26:56 Harry being made quidditch captain. Dumbledore doesn’t want to give Harry more responsibility, but there’s more to it. Quidditch represents the purest good of the magical world. Harry is made quidditch captain to protect the core of comradery and magic.
