QUIBBLER SPORTS
Is Gnome Racing In Danger? Apparently, many Witches and Wizards consider the sport of Gnome Racing inhumane. Protesters have shown up at the last few matches standing in the fields to prevent the players from continuing. This didn’t work, of course- many of them suffered head injuries from having gnomes (or rocks) thrown at them. But why exactly do they consider it inhumane? Well, we decided to interview a protester (who wishes to remain anonymous and will be referred to simply as ‘H’) to find out. Quibbler Correspondent: What is it exactly about the sport that offends you? H: Honestly, what part of it doesn’t? It’s completely cruel! Contestants toss and disorient innocent creatures for our entertainment! The only penalty for hurting them is losing a few points! Last year, someone incendio’d their gnome, just so they could get a good ‘style’ score?! It’s totally barbaric! Quibbler: I remember that! It was quite stylish, in my opinion. Like a firework! H: What is wrong with you people? Don’t you understand that those gnomes are living things? Sure, they might be pests, and they’re a bit rude, but they do have feelings and I don’t thinkQuibbler: Sorry, that’s all the time we have. Thanks for the interview. What an odd bunch those protesters are.
Weather Conditions And Rules
The Gnome Racing Championship will take place on December 27th, in Devon, England. It’s going to be a cold day with a high chance of snow, so make sure to bring a warm coat and a hat! We kindly request that no one brings their pets to the spectating area, and please please don’t ask anyone to sign them. This goes especially for jarveys- we don’t want a repeat of the 2006 incident. Betting is allowed, so bring your galleons (and bet on England!). Finally, the most important rule is to have fun! I look forward to seeing you all there.
