The Brooklyn Kickball League has some stiff competition at McCarren Park. Reported by The Brooklyn Paper, this past Saturday, some Harry Potter-loving college students got together in the Park to play Quidditch, “a high-flying sport practiced by wizards and witches who ride magical flying broomsticks.” Obviously, there was no magical flying; feet stayed on the ground while running with the broomsticks. Definitely not something you see everyday in Brooklyn.

If you read the article in the Brooklyn paper, this was all for an MTV shoot for promos for the upcoming Harry Potter movie coming out next month. These people involved from the two schools involved don’t even live in Brooklyn, and are NOT hipsters. As a couple people said, hipsters would be too cool for this.
Can’t believe how judgmental you guys are (except for a few of you)! These people are just having fun. Who are they hurting?
> hipsters wouldnt be caught dead doing this
Not without irony.
hipsters wouldnt be caught dead doing this
Ew. This is gross.
goldie is right. there are a ton of annoying things white people do, but this isnt one of them. yeah, it’s not a diverse looking group, but then again, what really is?
ok and i JUST now got the convergence joke lol.
i like u goldie 🙂
sometimes i feel like i should be like these people doing silly sh-t. i dont think these are “hipsters” hipsters would sit at the sideline and sneer.
*rob*
^^^^^^^
would you rather they hang in groups on the street, acting the fool, being loud and getting drunk, dressing like scum?
oh wait…dang this convergence
This makes you hate white people.
“Nor are any of them Asian or Latino. Next.”
Dave – there’s plenty of Latino soccer players on the field next to it (not pictured)
You should go cruising there – you can say you were in Greenpoint so you can still brag about never going to Williamsburg. 😉
ha stick in the balls.
