Australia beat the two-time defending champions USA to claim the 2016 Quidditch World Cup title in Frankfurt. The sport is inspired by J.K. Rowling?s Harry Potter series, where it is played on broomsticks.
In the real ?muggle? world, players play the game by carrying broomsticks between their legs.
The Australian team, known as the Dropbears, defeated the 2012 and 2014 champions USA 150-130 in a thrilling match that ended when the Aussie seeker Dameon Osborn caught the snitch.
The victorious team posted on Facebook: ?We are The Dropbears. We came here to take the fight to America. We came here to show the international quidditch community what we're made of. And we did it. This team went from strength to strength over the past 4 months. The Australian quidditch community could not be prouder.?
The UK Quidditch team finished third in the tournament, beating Canada 190-60.
