The first game of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup quarterfinals took place this Friday and Saturday, and
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling via Ginny Potter updated the results between the
USA vs. Brazil game, which took two days to complete, on Pottermore. The winner of the match will play in the cup, while the loser will vie for the third place position against the loser of the Japan vs. Bulgaria match, set to take place Sunday.
Quote:
After a night of gruelling play, both the Brazilian and US Quidditch team players proved exactly why they had reached the semi-finals. Dynamic play between both teams’ Chasers and furious work by the Keepers kept the game alive until its twentieth hour, when Seekers Smackhammer and Silva raced each other to the Snitch.
