Dear Sirs,

After this incident, a very real question needs to be asked about the safety of spectators and players in the game of quidditch! This is the second incident I have heard of involving rogue bludgers in recent months! I heard Miss Cecily Gallivan was recently accosted by a bludger at a match and now this woman has lost her life, and another has been injured!


The department of magical games and sports needs to seriously consider the role of bludgers in the game and if there is a safer alternative to them or at least the current method of enchanting them! I would have thought enchanting the field was safer than enchanting the vicious balls, that way at least when they leave the play area they are rendered safe rather than an aggressive, rampaging danger to the public who are not as equipped as the players to fend off the attacks.


I believe we need immediate action taken to formalise the rules and specifications of quidditch equipment to ensure that no more lives are endangered by defective equipment and those providing quidditch equipment should face greater scrutiny. Those who enchanted these particular bludgers or provided them should be looked into to ensure that there is nothing more nefarious going on because 2 incidents resulting in bludger attacks on 3 women seems like more than a coincidence to me.

Yours kindly
Miss Natsuko Mountbatton.
