If you had a Quidditch team and were in charge of picking a mascot, what would you decide on? Would you choose a gloomy, oversized Augurey, like the Liechtenstein team mascot Hans? Or would you want to be represented by a creature from your country, like the African team Yumboes? Or, as the Haitian team did for this year’s Quidditch World Cup, would you risk it all and bring Dark creatures like Inferi?

Rowling’s exclusive writing on the Quidditch World Cup (1990 – 2014), or visit the Daily Prophet offices in Diagon Alley to read Ginny Potter’s reports on the opening ceremony and first match of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup.
