Harry Potter - Quidditch & sports - Pinz - (Geek Gear Discount Crate)

Quidditch is a fictional sport, created by author J. K. Rowling in her fantasy fiction series Harry Potter. The story of Harry Potter centers around wizards and witches studying their magical craft at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Born out of the lore of witches using flying broomsticks for transportation, Quidditch was developed by the author as the most popular sport in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter; a complex game played completely in the air by players on flying broomsticks.

The objective of Quidditch, as with most sports, is to be the team that has gained the most points by the end of the match. Matches are played between two opposing teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using four balls: a Quaffle, two Bludgers, and a Golden Snitch. Centered around the use of each ball, there are four positions: the Chasers and Keeper (who plays with the Quaffle), the Beaters (who play with the Bludgers), and the Seekers (who play with the Golden Snitch). Each team has three Chasers, one Keeper, two Beaters, and one Seeker. Matches are played on a large oval field called a "Pitch," with three ring-shaped goals of different heights on each side. It is an extremely rough but very popular semi-contact sport, played by wizards and witches. In the wizarding world, Quidditch has a fervent fan following.

Harry Potter plays an important and coveted position for his house team at Hogwarts: he is the Seeker. Regional and international Quidditch competitions are mentioned throughout the series. Throughout the fantasy fiction, Harry uses his Quidditch skills for gaining respect from his peers, connecting to his ancestry, and even uses them in his hero's quest to defeat the main antagonist of the series, Lord Voldemort. Aspects of the sport's history are revealed in Quidditch Through the Ages, a book published by J.K. Rowlingin 2001 to benefit Comic Relief.

A modified version of the game (without magic) has been adapted and is played in the real world in a number of countries. In this game the players still play with brooms, but run instead of flying. Nevertheless, the basic rules are the same.

A pin-back button or pinback button, pin button, button badge or simply pin-back or badge, is a button or badge that can be temporarily fastened to the surface of a garment using a safety pin, or a pin formed from wire, a clutch or other mechanism. This fastening mechanism is anchored to the back side of a button-shaped metal disk, either flat or concave, which leaves an area on the front of the button to carry an image or printed message. The word is commonly associated with a campaign button used in the United States and abroad during a political campaign. The first design for a pin-back button in the United States was patented in 1896, and contemporary buttons have many of the same design features.

The Prancing Pony (i.e. the Inn of the Prancing Pony) was an inn in Bree where Frodo Baggins , Sam , Pippin , and Merry first met Strider .

Since Bree was built on the major road of the Greenway , it was a fairly well-traveled inn, and was so accustomed to hobbits that designated hobbit-rooms had been built.

Prison School - Meiko Shiraki latex - Figurine - (Aliexpress)

Image
Meiko Shiraki Meiko is the towering bespectacled vice president of the underground student council. She is put in charge of watching over the boys while they are in prison. In middle school, she was bullied for her large breasts. The strongest student in the school, and proficient in  Judo , Meiko is a harsh commander over the boys, who often punishes them for the slightest infraction with Gakuto being a popular target. Although a powerful and intimidating figure, she deeply fears displeasing Mari, which manifests itself in body-wide excessive sweating. Similarly, she enjoys performing calisthenics, and is often seen comically performing odd exercises with a large puddle of sweat underneath her. Aside from working out, she has been shown to have a knack for cooking. Because of her voluptuous/athletic physique, her school uniform barely manages to hide her body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_School#Main_characters ------------------------------ Prison School  ...
