It will now be known as la crosse.

Just kidding. They don't actually have a name ready yet.

Are we sure the trademark is the reason for the limited broadcast opportunities, and not the fact that Quidditch is a goofy ass game that not even the target audience takes seriously? (Outside of that one EA game lol)

They state it's for both reasons. Why would they lie about that?

It seems a bit silly considering they're playing and advocating a game inextricably tied to her creation. Every game they have is essentially a commercial for the Harry Potter franchise and by extension, Rowling.

Maybe if they ditched the brooms and the snitch they could turn it into its own thing. >_>

Why does WB own the rights? Shouldn't it be owned by the publisher of the books or Rowling herself?

Fortunately, beetles with those tacky headlight eyelashes don't immediately make people think about the third reich. >_>

I dont see the issue. Harry Potter is a wonderful franchise and Quiddich is a cool, if flawed, magical sport. It frustrates me people cant seem to separate the art from the artist and if the creator does even one bad thing the creation is forever taboo.
