Reconsider those gender rule changes, IQA… today I’ve got a female chaser who doesn’t need any help earning her spot on the pitch. Meet Jessica Klein of the NY Badassalisks.
Some teams act under the belief that girls should primarily be beaters. Personally, I disagree with this assumption,…

Due to bad timing and an unfortunate unavailability of fields on campus, we must announce that the 2012 Empire Classic will not be happening this semester. But don’t be too sad - we are taking this opportunity to plan an EVEN BETTER tournament for the fall! So keep an eye out. We will be back.
Much love and swag,
The Hofstra Flying Dutchmen

fuckyesquidditch:
You know you’ve all been pining for it.
A radio show with fantastic audio quality, hilarious and personable hosts who know their shit, great content and giveaways, and the ability to call in live and have your voice heard in the Quidditch world.
THAT’S RIGHT, MOTHAFUCKAS.
I’M TALKING…

If your school isn’t funding you, and its still hitting you with tons of rules? Why do you need the school? Become a community team and do whatever you want.

My school had some really messed up rules when it comes to representation. And they make me a little mad when it comes to that and Quidditch, because as you all know, its really awesome when the things we do are Harry...

– Fuck Yes Quidditch!: REC QUIDDITCH LEAGUES
I want rec leagues so so freaking badly. I need to find one, especially since I’m graduating. It’s really hard to have one team that has both crazy competitive people and people who want to have fun and play for love of Harry Potter and the game. I...

Albus: Dad, I’m…gay.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was gay and he was the wisest man I’ve ever known.
Albus: Dad, you say this every time I tell you something. Stop. Just stop.

Albus: Dad, would you mind buying some conditioner? I think we’re out.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them never used conditioner and he was probably the greasiest man I ever knew.

Harry: TWO HEADMASTERS.
Albus: Yes, I get it, two hea—
Harry: BRAVEST AND WISEST MEN.
Albus: Da—

Happy New Year from the NY Badassilisks!
Happy New Year to everyone from the NY Badassilisks!
I was away on vacation, so I apologize, no nifty holiday appropriate image of our logo.
If it helps, image the Badassilisk wearing 2012 glasses, a pointy hat and he’s about to eat 2011.

INCREDIBLY well said. To anyone from the IQA out there, who are feeling dejected because of the attitudes on the forums. Remember a lesson I learned from being a freelancer and eventually running my own business. You will rarely if ever hear when someone is happy with what you do. You will however, constantly and vocally hear from the people who don’t like you. Be confident in the work...

Here’s FUSE’s coverage for our 2011 Brooklyn Yule Ball! They got some great footage and we even get interviewed by Dan Brown! If you follow this link, you can read their whole write up and see a full song by each of the bands that performed that night.

teenagemutantninjakid:
The fall semester is over, so Quidditch players are being forced away from their teams, doomed to suffer a long month without Quidditch. But… there are a shit ton of players that’ll be located in the NYC area for the next month. And by a shit ton, I mean… enough to get a pretty epic tournament…

Woohoo! More awesome Badassilisks press!
That said, many felt the Badassilisks’ journey was a great success. The team–whose supporters included dozens of fan club spectators, a woman dressed as Harry Potter villainess Bellatrix Lestrange, in black dress robes with visible stitches on her fitted bodice and nightmarish, jet black hair, and a makeshift mascot of another woman wearing fangs and a green sequined gown cascading down the...

Badassilisks on NBC’s 1st Look! In case (for some obviously ridiculous reason) you didn’t see it on TV this weekend.
Word. We’re famous now. I alternately smile and look fierce, and of course put the quaffle through the hoops.
THIS IS AMAZING. I am so happy to be part of this team!

NY Badassilisks on NBC's 1st Look! →
instant-oatmeal:
To see more of Quidditch and the 2011 World Cup of Muggle Quidditch, tune into “1st Look” this Saturday after “Saturday Night Live” on NBC.*
NY Badassilisks should be on TV this weekend! 1st Look presenter Maria Sansone came out for a crash-course training session right before the World Cup. It was pretty fun to film so hopefully it looks awesome on TV.
