GIVEAWAY: Quidditch World Cup At Randall’s Island

The legend of Harry Potter lives on! If you’re a HP
fan (or just enjoy a good sports match), you don’t want to miss the real-life Quidditch World Cup V. —

On November 12-13, Randall’s Island will host over 2,000 caped, broom-riding athletes
from 100 international college and high school teams at the Quidditch World Cup V. The weekend-long extravaganza is non-stop entertainment–basically a cross between an outdoor medieval festival and a highly competitive athletic tournament.

This year’s annual Quidditch World Cup will feature opening and closing ceremonies, live music from Wizard Wrock bands (as well as local NYC acts), a half-time show, circus performers and improv comedians, live owl demonstrations, wizardly
gear for sale and costumes abound. Vendors will be dishing out turkey legs,
Bertie Botts beans, tummy-warming BBQ and chili, hot chocolate, Butterbeer, real beer and so much more.

The Cup is kid friendly and dog friendly. So gather the gang, don your best Potter gear, and hop aboard the water taxi to Randall’s Island next weekend!

includes four weekend passes, which include access to over 400 games being
played on nine fields and over a dozen performers and live entertainers, and
four championship tickets, which include the semi-finals as well as an alumni
all-star game. To enter, send us an email explaining why you’d like to win to [email protected] and put “Quidditch” in the subject line. Be
sure to include your contact info and address. Deadline to enter is 5pm on Wednesday, November 9. Good luck!
