Quidditch players from Bonn take part in world cup in Florence, Italy

When fiction becomes reality: This weekend the Quidditch World Cup takes place in Florence, Italy - and seven players from Bonn made it into the national team. Leander Troll, a founding member of the Rhinos Bonn, got to know Quidditch as an actual game during a semester abroad in Vancouver. To make it into the German national team the players have to pass a multiple-step-test and a qualifying phase. In the end, 25 players were picked from over 100 applicants in the country. Troll and his club mates Leon Bürgers, Lukas Dreyer, Giulia Pugnaghi, Anneke Müller, Sina Rehberg and Christian Zimpelmann already traveled to Florence on Wednesday. The national coach hopes to make it into the top six teams. The Quidditch world cup can be watched in a livestream here.
