I struggle to imagine a world where magic and religion cohexist. I am normally used to high fantasy where the worldbuilding makes sense, but harry potter just flows like she thought of what could come next, and that's it. Worldbuilding Babe, that's how we add lore. Make stuff up.

Some fantasy is heightened by that, though.

I think CS Lewis employed a similar strategy, and Narnia is all the more fantastical for it. I mean what the fuck is going on in The Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair?

JK Rowling's strategy of adding lore via halfassed Twitter replies may have a bit less thought involved, though.

Just a quick reminder that she designed Quidditch specifically in a way that would infuriate any person even remotely familiar with how sports games work, because she wanted to "bet back at" a guy who dumped her.

I am not aware of this, I just know that it's the most potentially deadly fantasy sport out there. The mayan ball game had less casualità

By far, the most popular of all Mayan sports was the Mayan ball game which was played in the Mesoamerican religion from about 1,400 BC. The game had various variations over different places and rules also varied to some extent. The common form of this game consisted of players striking the ball with their hips. In some other variations, they were also allowed the use of forearms, rackets, or bats. Solid rubber was the material of the ball and it had a weight of about 4 kg. A lot of these ball games were accompanied with grand events which sometimes even included the ritual of human sacrifice. Heavy betting was also involved in the game but it was also played as a simple recreation game by children and even women. https://mayansandtikal.com/mayan-games/mayan-sports/
