JK Rowling reveals the EXACT moment Quidditch was invented
Over the past few years, Harry Potter has had a major comeback. And with the likes of Fantastic Beasts and The Cursed Child, it's safe to say Potter-mania is back and bigger than ever.
But one thing we love about the comeback, is the information JK Rowling is feeding us about the original books.
And one of the most interesting reveals is how Quidditch came about.
According to the Edinburgh News, JK explained the background to why she included the sport in a rare edition of the first book.
"Quidditch was invented in a small hotel in Manchester, after a row with my (then) boyfriend.
"I had been pondering the things that hold a society together, cause it to congregate, and signify its particular character – and I knew it needed a sport.
"It infuriates men, in my experience (why is the snitch so valuable). [And that] is quite satisfying given my state of mind when I invented it."
Who knew something so magical could come from a fight with your fella?
