Ireland is in the European Quidditch Games and here’s where to tune in
When we watched the Quidditch Championships on Harry Potter, we cheered for Gryffindor to take home the house cup.
And now, you can cheer on Ireland in a real-life Quidditch game.
Yep, Ireland is taking part in the European Quidditch Games in Oslo this week, and we're looking forward to seeing the skills the teams learned from the movies.
