TIJUANA.- When fiction becomes reality. The sport that was born through the Harry Potter films or through our imagination while reading the books has gone into the real world, with teams that have transformed said "sport" into a union of very important events in several countries, among them Mexico.

You don't have to go very far to find enthusiast that are willing to brave the jokes and stares. The city of Tijuana has it's own team, called "The Qwertyrians", and who just recently won the 1st National Muggle Quidditch Cup this past weekend, during a tournament that took place in Mexico City alongside six other Muggle quidditch teams.

There is also a Mexican Quidditch Association, very much present in social media and the ones who organized this event. Surely, in no time these types of events will become very important for many around the world.

Heres are some of the key elements of muggle quidditch:

Broom: Characteristic element, you should always keep it between your feet Hoops: The quaffle must who through these hoops, if it only hits it but does not goes through you must try again Quaffle: Main ball (half inflated volleyball), should go through hoops to score points Bludger: A bludger is a half inflated ball used to play dodgeball and, you also need to get this one through the hoops Snitch: A small ball inside a sock which is strapped to the waist of a neutral player

Positions:

Quidditch is a sport that already has had many references in films, including a UCLA documentary, and the film "The Internship" starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.
