Excerpts from a short story published earlier this month.
What is being described? Also, name the author.There are celebrities – and then there are celebrities. We’ve seen many a
famous face from the wizarding world grace the stands here in the
Patagonian Desert – Ministers and Presidents, CelestinaWarbeck,
controversial American wizarding band The Bent-Winged Snitches – all have
caused flurries of excitement, with crowd members scrambling for
autographs and even casting Bridging Charms to reach the VIP boxes over
the heads of the crowd.
But when word swept the campsite and stadium that a certain gang of
infamous wizards (no longer the fresh-faced teenagers they were in their
heyday, but nevertheless recognisable) had arrived for the final, excitement
was beyond anything yet seen. As the crowd stampeded, tents were flattened
and small children mown down. Fans from all corners of the globe stormed
towards the area where they were rumoured to have been sighted, desperate
above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.

Excerpts from a short story published earlier this month.
What is being described? Also, name the author.There are celebrities – and then there are celebrities. We’ve seen many a
famous face from the wizarding world grace the stands here in the
Patagonian Desert – Ministers and Presidents, CelestinaWarbeck,
controversial American wizarding band The Bent-Winged Snitches – all have
caused flurries of excitement, with crowd members scrambling for
autographs and even casting Bridging Charms to reach the VIP boxes over
the heads of the crowd.
But when word swept the campsite and stadium that a certain gang of
infamous wizards (no longer the fresh-faced teenagers they were in their
heyday, but nevertheless recognisable) had arrived for the final, excitement
was beyond anything yet seen. As the crowd stampeded, tents were flattened
and small children mown down. Fans from all corners of the globe stormed
towards the area where they were rumoured to have been sighted, desperate
above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.
