I played inter-mural Quidditch in high school and was our team's Seeker.
The New Zealand Quidditch team, the Moutohora Macaws,
actually have a domesticated Phoenix as their mascot.
A group of students had built a virtual reality Quidditch simulator using the Oculus DK1.
McGonagall is listed on one of the Quidditch trophies in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Oh, and
she's afraid she's going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because she's flying so badly.

She's the last person you would expect to play Quidditch, but apparently McGonagall did indeed join the Gryffindor team.
Rupert Grint was disappointed that the Quidditch subplot was removed from this movie,
as he was looking forward to it.
For example, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
Azkaban, Dumbledore saves Harry without his wand when Harry falls off his broom in a game of Quidditch.
It was on the castle grounds that Harry had his first Quidditch lesson(the castle now hosts“broomstick training” throughout the summer months)
and the spot where the Weasley's flying Ford Anglia crash-landed on the first day of school.
