FROM MTV.COM: Quaffles, Bludgers, Golden Snitchs, Beaters, Seekers, Chasers … to some this is utter gibberish, but to “Harry Potter” fans these are the beloved elements of Quidditch, the premier witch-and-wizard sporting event in the world. The terminology is peculiar, the rules are myriad and the history stretches back centuries, but all you need to know is that Harry and his pals play by riding around on broomsticks, competing for points and trying to capture that elusive Snitch.
Yet in 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” the Quidditch chronicles present in J.K. Rowling’s book were cut from the film. On July 15, the game will make a glorious return to the big screen in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
