The greatest book series of all-time has a not-so-great sport.
Big Screen Sports is joined by guest Mike Schubert, host of the Potterless Podcast, to break down the Quidditch action in the "Harry Potter" films. Sure, it's a fictional sport involving flying broomsticks, but that doesn't mean there aren't some glaring points that need to be acknowledged regardless.
4:35 - Is Quidditch a Good Sport?
9:05 - Favorite/Least Favorite Scenes
11:40 - Justice for Lee Jordan
15:30 - Adult Wizards Being Unhelpful
22:15 - The Harry/Draco Chase
25:40 - Book Scenes That Should've Been Included
29:05 - Justice for Ludo Bagman
