Montague catches the Quaffle, Montague heading back up the pitch and – nice Bludger there from George Weasley, that’s a Bludger to the head of Montague, he drops the Quaffle, caught by Katie Bell, Katie Bell of Griffindor reverse-passes to Alicia Spinnet and Spinnet’s away – (...) dodges Warrington, avoids a Bludger – close call Alicia – and the crowds are loving this, just listen to them(Rowling 2003: 360)
