The game was devised by drama teacher Elaine Currie who insists only pupils who read Harry Potter can take part. The tournament kicked off last week with 70 children in years 8 and 9 - and a staff team - all competing for the trophy on finals day on July 20. Pupils are even designing fantasy costumes to give them honorary wizard status and earn then a few extra magic points - but with no broomsticks, this version of Quidditch is strictly for earthlings.
