CU quidditch team ready for magical year

No, you didn’t ingest a mind-altering potion. The sport of quidditch, derived from the famous book and movie series “Harry Potter,” is not only real, but the University of Colorado has its own team.

The Boulder Basilisks is a club sports team at CU that provides students the opportunity to live out their dreams of playing the fantastical sport without the stress of being chased by soul-sucking Dementors.

The team plays just one tournament in the fall and one in the spring against other schools in Colorado, but they often scrimmage against each other in the two practices they host every week.
