Under the gaze of the multitudes, the inaugural Hogwarts Flying Broomstick Championship officially commenced. As both Headmaster of Hogwarts and a participant, Headmaster Dumbledore naturally became the opening ceremony's master of ceremonies and delivered a speech.
"Today marks the holding of the first Flying Broomstick Championship, and I hope all participants and spectators alike will have a wonderful time."
"Of course, whether you are a contestant or a spectator, there is one very important thing to keep in mind: you must ensure your own safety during the race. If possible, I hope the contestants will exercise restraint and avoid launching heavy attacks against one another. I would not want to see any unfortunate incidents on what is supposed to be a joyous occasion."
