The governing bodies of 'Quidditch', the real-life sport first profiled in JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels and later in its films, have said that the game will henceforth be known as 'Quadball'.
Real-life quidditch - based on the magical game featured in the Harry Potter franchise - is being renamed quadball by the sport's governing bodies. But why?
Quadball is a reference both to the number of balls on the field and the number of positions in the game. The leagues and governing bodies hope the rebrand will also allow the sport to grow more.
