Rules. The following rules [for Quidditch] were set down by the Department of Magical Games and Sports upon its formation in 1750: . . . 6. Wands may be taken on to the pitch[1] but must under no circumstances whatsoever be used against opposing team members, any opposing team members broom, the referee, any of the balls, or any member of the crowd. [1]. The right to carry a wand at all times was established by the International Confederation of Wizards in 1692, when Muggle persecution was at its height and the wizards were planning their retreat into hiding. -Kennilworthy Whisp/J.K. Rowling, Quidditch through the Ages So, I needed a Q for my A-Z list and decided to pick this book up, and its always so delightful to read J.K. Rowling. That crazy right-wing ideologue incorporated as one of her only seven Quidditch rules the equivalent of a Second Amendment designed to protect disliked minorities from persecution. I love her. Seriously, what was I doing with my life not to have read this book before? Im finding all the fantastic beasts tomorrow. :)
