Now that many Harry Potter fans are now in college, Quidditch is becoming one of the fastest growing college sports in the world.    College quidditch first came to muggles in the fall of 2005 at Middlebury College in Vermont where roughly 20 students from the same dormitory got together and on a field running around with capes and household brooms between there legs.  You can read the full history here:  History of Muggle College Quidditch Year One 

For the lasted information on College Quidditch you can visit the Inter-Collegiate Quidditch Association.  They even have had a  Quidditch World Cup tournament.

If you haven't heard yet, the movie tickets for the Half Blood Prince went on sale today.  We got ours for the July 14, 2009 midnight movie showing.  We are really looking forward to seeing this new Harry Potter movie.  If you haven't got your tickets yet, hurry before the midnight showing sells out!!!  See you there!

Rumor Alert:  I have heard that a Weasley's Wizard Wheezes joke shop will be located in Diagon Alley and be the largest gift shop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.   How cool is that?

I had better start saving up now, there are several items on my must have list.

1. Decoy Detonators cool I want several dozen
2. Edible Dark Marks must have a dozen of these
3. 2 Pairs of Extendable Ears
4. Some Wild Fire Wizbangs.
5. Wizarding World T-shirt(s) several

I haven't heard anything about them having theme park characters at various locations in the park yet.  But, I am sure they will as many theme parks do.  It would be great to be at the park and to encounter Mad Eye Moody, or Rubeus Hagrid walking about, or even Harry Potter himself.  I would love to get some pictures of Mad Eye Moody and myself.

Mad Eye Moody, for which I was skeptical with him at first, has turned out to be one of my more favorite characters in the book series.  With his prosthetic leg, disfigured nose, and roaming magical left eye, Mad Eye Moody is definitely a character I would love to encounter at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.
