The Quidditch World Cup -- the real-life championship of the game made popular by the Harry Potter book series -- was held last weekend in New York, and teams from Tufts, Emerson, and Middlebury were among several from New England to participate.  Boston University photojournalism student Hilary Wartinger has shared a collection of photos she took at the event featuring those three area teams. 

Here, Tufts players celebrate their second-place trophy.
