FYI....Harry Potter stopped being a "children's story" after about the second one. Really.

Ok.

Never saw it.

But I remember Lindsey Lohan on SNL busting out of some little school girl outfit, that was working for me, so maybe the "adult" Potter truly needs to be made.

9. What was the city that the Chiefs were from in Slapshot?

11. What team did Jonathan E play for in Rollerball?

(hint: the team had no "nickname"...just a city name)

Bonus...OK, this is a trick question....the fictional team was the Cleveland Indians.

It was filmed in Johnstown, and based on Johnstown, they must have used a fake city name.

I didn't know it was filmed in Johnstown...or had anything to do with Johnstown. It was not a fake city name.

Well, your clue gives it away ... but I have never heard of Quidditch. Is that a real sport or some kind of nerdy Harry Potter thing?

Yes, welcome to the planet.

The original screenplay by Nancy Dowd is based in part on her brother Ned Dowd's experiences playing minor league hockey in the United States in the 1970s, during which time violence, especially in the low minors, was the selling point of the game.

Dowd was living in Los Angeles when she got a call from her brother Ned, a member of the Johnstown Jets hockey team. Her brother gave her the bad news that the team was for sale.[2] Dowd moved to the area and was inspired to write Slap Shot. It was filmed in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; central New York (Utica Auditorium and the Onondaga County War Memorial Auditorium in Syracuse).

Nancy Dowd used her brother Ned and a number of his Johnstown Jets teammates in Slap Shot, with Ned Dowd portraying Syracuse goon "Ogie Ogilthorpe." He later used the role to launch a career as a Hollywood character actor, an assistant director and eventually a line producer. The characters of the "Hanson Brothers" are in fact based on three actual brothers, Jeff, Steve and Jack Carlson, who played with Ned Dowd on the Jets. The character of "Dave 'Killer' Carlson" is based on then-Jets player Dave "Killer" Hanson. Steve and Jeff Carlson played their Hanson brother counterparts in the film. Jack Carlson was originally scripted to appear in the film as the third brother, Jack, with Dave Hanson playing his film counterpart, "Dave 'Killer' Carlson." However by the time filming began, Jack Carlson had been called up by the Edmonton Oilers, then of the WHA, to play in the WHA playoffs, so Dave Hanson moved into the role of "Jack Hanson," and actor Jerry Houser was hired for the role of "'Killer' Carlson."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slap_Shot_(film)

I also looked up Quidditch:

Quidditch is a competitive sport in the wizarding world of the Harry Potter universe, and is from the series of children's novels and movies. It is an extremely rough but very popular semi-contactsport, played by wizards and witches. Matches are played between two teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using three balls

Alrighty, then.
