Using PVC pipes for broomsticks and hula hoop stands for goals, Northern Illinois University’s Quidditch team tournament did not look as flashy as in the Harry Potter movies. But that didn’t stop them from winning Saturday’s Quibbler Invitational just outside Huskie Stadium.

The NIU Nargles Quidditch team played in a tournament with teams from four other schools: Augustana College’s Odin’s Ravens, Southeastern Iowa College’s Horntails, Northwestern University’s Kneazles and Elmhurst College’s Marauders. There also was a pick-up team called the Merc team.

The Nargles defeated the Merc Team in the final match, 40-0.
