She had an argument with her boyfriend! She marched out of the house and went to the pub. To take her mind off the quarrel, she started to think about Harry Potter. She decided that sport was a uniting factor in every society, so she would invent a wizarding sport. She spent the evening working out all the rules for the game, then spent ages choosing a name for it. She knew the word had to begin with Q, and she says "Quidditch" is the best word she ever thought up.

In her own words: "I don't really know what the connection is between the row and Quidditch, except that Quidditch is quite a violent game, and maybe in my deepest darkest soul I would quite like to see him [the boyfriend] hit by a bludger."
