Lwengo (Uganda) (AFP) – Far from the fictional skies of Hogwarts, in a remote village in Uganda, a young woman sprints after a “snitch” during a game of quadball, an adapted version of Quidditch, the sport made famous by author JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books. There are no magic broomsticks here, but instead, players run with sticks between their legs, united by the same ambition — reaching the Quadball World Cup. “I will die a happy man when I see the team of Uganda going to the World Cup,” says team founder, John Ssentamu.
