We're a shoo-in for victory now :D

I love all the ridiculous details in it [like those sheep] and some of the very skilled ones too [like those sloped plates near the river].

This is so, um, well, weird.

Other than that little nitpick, I love this, er, thing. The use of the Pirate flag is BRILLIANT! (Can't think I never thought of it!) And the two Crownies catching the skeleton with the net is ingenious.

Wow! The sense of movement in this MOC is phenomenal. The figs really do look like they're flying--hardly any obtrusive supports, and in the case of the bludger, integrated really well.

The action is what I really like here, but the random mixture of Harry Potter sports, Fantasy Castle factions, and the part-pirate spectators is awesome. The little things are all done well too, such as the wine gushing from the barrel, and the liberal use of double-sided heads.

This is really nice! There is stuff going on everywhere. I have to say this is much more exciting than HP Quidditch :wink:.

There is a wonderful sense of life here, and as everyone else said, the colors are awesome!

Part-pirate? They were supposed to be barbarians/generic bad guys... :P

I was actually worried that it was too obvious; it's a shame they don't make 2x2 castle skeleton flags...

Yeah, I should have mentioned that. It'll probably end up in Misc, although I had intended it for Entertainment/Sport/Celebrations Category, when I bought the broomsticks. The categories didn't go my way, but no matter :wink:

You're a bit late for CCCIV, seeing as this is CCCVI. ;)
