8 Completely Pointless Movie Details That Will Blow Your Mind

4. Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire Made Real Quidditch Paraphernalia

How cool would it be to see an entire booklet outlining the competitive sport of catching magical balls on sweeping utensils, with information on its individual players and attacking formations, and the world cup’s importance with everything from sponsors to drink adverts in the Harry Potter universe? Maybe not that cool, on second thoughts.

But one does actually exist - and it’s a lot more detailed than that poor description makes it out to be. Now if only it contained an explanation of the offside rule...

Despite its wonderful dive into the world of Quidditch, these pamphlets are only in shot once, maybe twice, in the entirety of the movie. And all you can see is some blurry paper excitedly wafting about in the far background. There’s surely a graphic designer out there ready to become the next Voldemort after tearing all their hair out.
