I send this letter to you, because I highly suspect that one of your referees allows for his judgement to be clouded. I am referring to Mr. Mahdi Elrashidy. I realize that you likely receive tons of such complainst per day, especially from Quidditch sponsors, or those related to them. It is true, that when we care so much for a team, we tend to have a mother's bias on the referees' decisions. However, I have reason to believe that Mr. Elrashidy is biased in favour of the Holyhead Harpies!

It occured to me, during a Cannons game, that he was harsh towards our beaters, but, when one of the Harpies' beaters made a foul, she only received a yellow card, whereas our beater was benched, when he made a similar foul. Out of curiousity, I decided to attend other Harpy games where I knew he would be the referee and it seemed to be like he was softer on them, than the other team!

I realize again that you probably receive a lot of letters of complaints about the Holyhead Harpies. I have nothing against the team, having played Quidditch at Hogwarts myself. I believe that it is brilliant that there is a team where women can play Quidditch, when most other teams won't give women opportunities. However, I do believe that it is wrong for them to receive special treatment, because they are a different team. And, especially after the recent scandal with the Harpies, I hate to imagine that more of their players might be using their feminine charm to get ahead on the pitch.

It does not hurt to investigate Mr. Elrashidy's case.
