My boyfriend is trying to explain cricket to me again. “He’s only got two balls to make 48 runs”, he says. The camera focuses on a man. Underneath him it says LEFT ARM FAST MEDIUM. A ball flies into the stands and presumably fractures someone’s skull. “There’s a free six”, my boyfriend says. 348 SIXES says the screen. A child in the audience waves a sign referencing Weet-Bix

So, here's the thing about the Golden Snitch:

Only Seekers are allowed to touch it

The game doesn't end until it is caught

Most importantly, catching it is worth 150 points (15 goals)

This means in most cases except for very one-sided games, whoever catches the snitch wins the match, seemingly making the rest of the game pointless as indicated above. The thing is, it really wouldn't be that difficult to make this work. 1. Make the Seeker a fourth Chaser for the majority of the game. 2. The snitch is only released onto the field during overtime at the end. Once the match has gone for an allotted period of time for a satisfying match (say about 90 minutes), then the snitch is released and the designated Chaser on each team becomes the Seeker. (Nb. The Seekers can still interact as Chasers, if they want). 3. If no one catches the snitch after 10 minutes, the role of Seeker rotates to a different Chaser, and so on. 4. The snitch isn't worth anything. Catching it just ends the game.

This means, if the scores are close and the lead keeps changing, so must the strategy of the Seekers. One moment they want to catch it, then the other team scores and they immediately have to switch to stopping the other Seeker (without catching the snitch themselves). If the game is one-sided, the losing team's Seeker may chose to ignore the snitch and the other Seeker entirely and keep playing as a Chaser to try to catch up the score (effectively playing 4-on-3).

And that's how you fix Quidditch.

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

I’ll never get over this bizarre interlude in the middle of the original Michael Jackson ‘Smooth Criminal’ music video, where it suddenly and inexplicably descends into a Lynchian orgy fever dream dubbed by a lunatic. I did not edit this.
