Ingolfr the Iambic was a Norwegian poet in the early 1400s. He wrote a verse about the game of Quidditch that showed how the game had spread to Europe.
- "Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out." - —Ingolfr the Iambic[src]
Etymology
- The name Ingólfr, was derived from the name of the Germanic god Ing combined with úlfr meaning "wolf".
- Iambic is likely a reference to iambic pentameter, a common poetry meter best known for its extensive use by William Shakespeare. Oddly, his only known poem is not an example of this type of meter.
