Quiddich is an attribute of the Harry Potter universe, so no, it doesn't. And even if that were true, it's completely irrelevant to the point at hand. Quiddich can be discussed without first assuming it exists.

Which is drivel I've only ever heard from theists who, by the way, always completely fail to justify out how this is true. The belief in god is something that affects everyone, including atheists, so no, it isn't silly to argue its merits. When you stop trying to run everyone's lives based upon your beliefs, we'll think the argument is silly.

Agreed, but that does not make my point nor the fact that you have no evidence any less true.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
