The one thing I can think of that would have made this weekends event more interesting is if it had been held at a location visible to a larger number of muggles. Where that would be would depend on the day of the week and time of year I would guess. In the right environment, it would neat to see a number of muggles join in just to see what was going on.
How bout the middle of the bangor mall on black friday at 8am....
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
