Sunday Quidditch - Early Edition

Welcome, Ravenclaw Quidditch fans!  It's the first day of the first match of the Term, and Ravenclaw chasers are already on the job!

Marruknits, Rosimoto, and winemakerssister were first onto the pitch, scoring goals for their neat frogging and repair skills.  Way to Soar!

Rosimoto frogged a scarf and also her first failed OWL, painful I know, but it can be freeing!

Marruknits frogged two scarves to use the yarn to knit something new. Way to reuse, reduce, recycle!

winemakerssister frogged a scarf, and also did a lovely repair job:

This Term's Quidditch offers a bit of a change, a chance to learn some Mediwizardry, which is a great opportunity to stretch our skills and also practice some SCIENCE FOR THE WIN!!!

We can't wait to see what our other Chasers come up with -- will you help with cleaning up or making bandages, practice first aid by mending some well-loved handknits, or call it a day and frog an item and reskein the yarn to be used again?  Be sure to visit the Ravenclaw Locker Room for further details and Match-specific information and helpful FAQs. Remember your Tags that must be used - RQ23T for the first Match, and How to Turn In Quidditch, which this Term is a Map of the Wards. We don't want any disqualifications!


Mark your calendars/update your Bullet Journals with the Match schedule!  You can also sign up for start of match earburns via the Great Hall Remembrall service.

Jan 3 - Jan 9: Rotation 1

For those who played last term, remember: Quidditch this term is NOT cumulative. You may play in any or all matches, regardless of whether you scored in an earlier match.


We worked very hard to win the Quidditch cup last term, now let's keep it on the Tower mantle, where it belongs.

Soar, Ravenclaw!  

SCIENCE FOR THE WIN!!!

Sunday Quidditch: Recap of the Last Day of Match 2

Match 2 was an amazing, hard fought battle that ended with the unofficial goal count showing Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tied for first place.  I actually stayed up until the end of the match (3 am my local time) watching players score goals.  The Ravenclaw Locker Room was hopping, with several players who live in time zones where midnight POT is not the middle of the night and a few players like me, staying up way past our bed times.

In those last hours, the Locker room felt like a play by play.  I'd barely scored my goal when secrettrail earburned me in the Locker room, announcing to everyone that we had another Ravenclaw goal.  Cascadienne was right behind me on the pitch with her goal so I earburned her.  The excitement was palpable!

I wanted to capture that feeling of excitement we all had in those last hours of the match, so I put together this video.  I hope it makes you feel as excited about Quidditch as I am this term!

Sunday Quidditch: Which Way Will You Choose?

So far, 37 Ravenclaws have answered the riddle of the Sphinx, scoring goals in Match 1 of Quidditch!  I know many others are working on projects to turn in before the September 24 deadline. If you haven't started crafting yet, you still have time!  Take a minute to think about the riddle of the Sphinx and decide -- which way will you choose?
