Well, Lamia is in a bit of a bind: if she posts that she doesn’t really want to discuss it, she’s providing another post. Anyway Lamia’s claims are pretty clear: a person who finds all spectator sports to be idiotic won’t be particularly squicked by the wildly imbalanced Quidditch rules. Those with a passing familiarity of sports (like myself) will raise an eyebrow though. Normal American men who regularly view spectator sports (unlike myself) may have stronger opinions.
I couldn’t figure out what Rowling was up to, but the other thread presents an hypothesis:
At any rate for myself the 150 point award to the Snitch took me out of the story momentarily and I furthermore found the 30 page expositions on the game to be boring. I was surprised frankly, as Rowling was an otherwise adept writer. At any rate, methinks this discussion belongs in the Rowling thread: this is a jarring consideration IMHO (though hardly fatal), not requiring particularly close scrutiny.
