Quidditch: a fictional sport and brainchild of J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series.

The sport involves witches and wizards riding on broomsticks, dodging big, hard balls (yes), and trying to find a tiny, gold ball.

So how do ~~muggles~~ humans reenact the sport? With a broom between their legs at all times, of course.

We were present at the tournament so we could bring you this Quidditch at Lynn University slideshow.

But that wasn't all of the photos. Check after the jump for the rest.

A "seeker" looks for the "snitch."

The Quidditch field, also known as Lynn University's intramural field, had several boxes set up with objects inside. If seekers looked in the box for the snitch and let one of the objects hit the ground, they had to run a lap.

The "keeper" (goalie) is responsible for making sure the "quaffle" doesn't go through the Hula-Hoops hanging from the top of the goal.

The team with the most points wins after the timer runs out. The more popular way of winning is when a team's seeker finds the golden snitch. Here, the two teams' seekers battle it out.
