I have never actually considered buying a Quidditch team. It seems like it might make a good investment, provided to the team did well. My interest has, instead, been behind the scenes.

Every year for the Quidditch Cup Final, there are a fair number of merchants who have interest in selling their products - food, team merchandise, memorabilia, camping supplies, and so on. Oftentimes these merchants aren't prepared for such a large event financially, which allows for an investment. I loan a fair amount of money to a merchant so that they might produce their products in time for the Finals, and collect a tidy percentage of the profit upon turnaround. It is quite a rewarding adventure, although one might say it is a bit like gambling. I only benefit if the merchant does well. So, I try to make sure that I do my part in assuring that the merchants succeed.

If you're attending the Finals this weekend, do stop by Lady Liza's Loot for a souvenir. Her team jerseys are all the rage this year.

Do you and your lovely family have plans to attend the game? I might have a few extra passes available, if you are interested.
