Harry Potter fans have always had a penchant for combining real-world phenomena with the wizarding world. Therefore, in the wake of the ongoing Olympics, Potterheads once again sharpened their wits and gathered on Reddit to wonder what it would be like for wizards and witches to have their very own Olympics.
Well, hold onto your broomsticks, for the latest buzz around Wizarding World Olympics, which made Harry Potter fans scratch their minds and come up with standard sports that are a part and parcel of the Wizarding World. While Quidditch flashed as a lightning thought, Potterheads explored several other sports ideas for the magical Olympics.
Harry Potter Fans Explored Ideas for Magical Sports Spectacles
In the wake of archery and fencing matches at the Olympics, we believe J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world might soon have its very own Olympics. That’s right; forget about the standard sports and get ready for Quidditch and wizard’s chess to take center stage. Harry Potter fans are currently bursting with their ideas for Wizard’s Olympics.
Social media platforms like Reddit being the hub of Potterhead enthusiasm, have been buzzing with speculation and fan theories about what this magical event could look like. While the Muggle Olympics features a mix of brilliant sports like, swimming, and gymnastics, Harry Potter fans offer promising and spellbinding ideas for the Wizarding World Olympics.
Beginning with the obvious sport Quidditch, user u/BronzeHeart92 imagined the iconic game with a twist of Olympic grandeur. Much like the Quidditch World Cup, where teams from across the globe come together to compete, even the Wizard’s Olympics could feature such intense matches with gold, silver, and bronze medals awaiting the winners.
Wizard’s Chess and Quodpot Made the Cut for Wizard’s Olympics
After imagining the dazzling displays of skill in the Quidditch match at Wizard’s Olympics, Redditor u/CockeyedOptometrist joined in to imagine wizard’s chess as another interesting match at the event. Much like Quidditch would presumably be one of the dueling events, the fan highlighted how wizard’s chess could also be a strategic game and a battle between two groups.
Taking the magical version of chess to a whole new level, fans imagined how witches and wizards would not only need sharp minds to command their pieces but also the agility for battle between those pieces. Further, considering the match will take place during Wizard’s Olympics, Potterheads highlighted how all players will have to strategize through intense pressure to checkmate their opponents.
Among other interesting and magical sports that could make the cut for Wizard’s Olympics is the US version of Quidditch – Quodpot. Further, fans also commented how broomstick racing, potion-brewing contests, and wand dueling tournaments could also steal the spotlight.
In the end, it seems the possibilities are limitless for J.K. Rowling to take note and come up with Wizarding World Olympics. If fans’ imaginations come true, witches and wizards would surely prepare to dust off broomsticks and practice their checkmate charm.
