    Wouldn't Moody make a great Dodgeball coach? And as Shuujaku pointed out, we never found out how Dumbledore's nose was broken.

    Dodgeball match for the fate of the Wizarding World. Oh noes!

    Dobby could be a great Dodgeball player.

    <Shuujaku> He'd use that mysterious house-elf magic to make the balls seek out the players
    <Shuujaku> Bellatrix would miss someone, then Voldemort would turn and peg her with his own ball.
    <Shuujaku> Lucius would be sitting on the sidelines with his cane thinking, "I'm way too pimp to go out like that."

    So I challenge you all to write a Humor/Parody story with Dodgeball!Harry.
    Must be overly dramatic in an amusing way, and somehow killling Ginny is a plus.

    To get the full feel, you might have Neville play on the team only to fall for Bellatrix in the end.

    The Chamber of Secrets had a very peculiar layout.

    Was it secretly... Salazar Slytherin's ultimate Dodgeball Arena?!

    Oh my! It may have been. I do have to wonder what the Basilisk's role in the whole thing was though.

    Nice idea, could make an excellent short parody fic.

    It was the Slytherin team mascot. Fawkes still remembers the rivalry even after all these years and took the chance in CoS to strike a blow for the good guys. That could be how the Gryff/Slyth rivaly got started. Imagine football hooligans gone too far, like Manchester United and Liverpool.

    But of course, Harry would have to face off against several teams and then face a team so stacked that they have little to no chance of winning. Harry will be busy having a scar attack and will show up late for the championship. But of course Chuck Norris will allow him to compete anyway.

    The fate of the wizarding world should be decided by sudden death dodgeball between Harry and Voldemort.

    If you can dodge a sword you can dodge a ball.

    Could even be used for Azkaban!Harry. So many steroids... Perhaps Human Growth Hormone is the Power the Dark Lord Knows not.

    The idea is stoned enough it might actually work. I like it, but it has big potential to become a very (very) bad story, if taken by the wrong author.

    Well, if you put it that way, then you can say that about any premise. If the wrong author tries to write a story, then it'll turn out poor. I doubt it's been done before, so let's see some material--that way, we can determine what should and shouldnt be done in this sort of story.
