Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing WHY witches and wizards in attendance at the Quidditch World Cup RAN AWAY from the invading Death Eaters- rather than stay and fight. Why weren’t the death eaters STOPPED? Yes, some did stay and fight, but of the vast numbers that attended, only an infinitesimal number stayed. What I wonder is, why?

The International Quidditch World Cup was THE premier Quidditch contest- hosted every four years since it’s very first contest in the year 1473. The Quidditch World Cup allowed Quidditch players from all over the globe to find glory for their respective countries- as it represented the pinnacle of Quidditch competition.  For this reason, it was exceedingly popular, with witches and wizards travelling from all over the globe to support their nation’s quidditch team. The result? More than a few boatloads of witches and wizards. We’re first introduced to this spectacular event in the Goblet of Fire.
