Grab your pumpkin juice and leftover Halloween sweets, and settle down with your copy of the latest issue of Witch Weekly, dear readers. I am about to tell you a heart-warming story of a very special sporting event that took place this month.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you should be aware that the WWG (Wizards’ Wrestling Group) has rolled into Diagon Alley for a one-off performance at the end of the month. However, upon arrival, the wrestlers spontaneously announced that they would be holding Wizards’ Wrestling classes for children between the ages of four and sixteen.
For those who are not as familiar with the sport as me, Wizarding Wrestling involves leaving your wand in your pocket, and casting spells through your hands as you fight. Whether or not you consider yourself a fan, you must have heard of the semi-final match in which August Bottoms defeated Jamie Harris with a well-timed Rictusempra, which left Harris so confused that he tumbled over the barrier and landed on top of Rita Skeeter.
During these classes, the wrestlers taught the children how to perform several basic wrestling moves combined with spells, including Rictusempra, Lumos, and Expelliarmus. While all three spells were very popular, with both children and adults alike blasting each other with colorful spells, many Diagon Alley shop owners complained about the level of noise and the number of children blinding them with light as they continued their practices on the cobbled streets outside.
In particular, there was one child who made everybody emotional. Theodore Scrivens spent the whole week unable to cast a spell or wrestling move, and it left him quite downhearted. Not ones to give up, the wrestlers worked together to encourage and guide Theo, until, after a whole week, he managed to perform an Expelliarmus Blast worthy of any final match. Afterwards, many of the wrestlers were moved to tears, expressing how proud they were of the success of this little wizard.
One interesting piece of information to note, however, was that this event was not entirely permitted by the Ministry of Magic. While they had given it the go-ahead, it appears that they were unaware of how much underage magic would be used, and they certainly did not allow the children to break the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Sorcery in broad daylight. Several Ministry representatives from the Improper Use of Magic Office arrived to try to put a stop to the show, only to find themselves the target of many well-timed wrestling moves (with very few adults stepping forward to help them).
There you have it then, readers – here is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get involved in wrestling and meet your favorite stars. This fantastic event is here in Diagon Alley until the end of November, so make sure to head on down and book your tickets. Just don’t forget your shield spells!
