Harry Potter franchise, has officially changed its name to Quadball. There are two many reasons why the main governing bodies of the sport have decided to change its name.
Firstly, the name Quidditch is trademarked by Warner Bros., which limits the sport's broadcast and sponsorship opportunities.
Major League Quadball, previously known as Major League Quidditch, have said that changing the name "opens unprecedented opportunities for growth, exposure and partnerships".Secondly, the International Quidditch Association, has cited J.K.
Rowling’s “anti-trans positions” as a reason for the change.Over the past few years, Rowling, the writer of the Harry Potter books, has been accused of being transphobic - an allegation which she denies.
