Harry Potter's broomstick dash quidditch is set to become an official U.S. college sport - if student fans of the film franchise get their way. Scholars at UCLA, Harvard and NYU already have quidditch teams and now there's a push on to get the game recognized as a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition.
If that happens, governing body officials will be obliged to pump funds into the sport and the best young players may be offered scholarships to attend universities that excel at the game, which was created by Potter author J.K. Rowling. The campaign to get the sport recognized comes as New York prepares to host the Quidditch World Cup next month.
