in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
this is the most popular sport hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning all about Quidditch Quidditch
is a semi contact game played while
flying on broomsticks two teams of seven
players compete and unlike many muggle
world sports both males and females
compete together on the Quidditch pitch
gameplay involves four balls and six
hoop shaped goals this game is played by
witches and wizards on the world stage
at the Quidditch World Cup every four
years while not an overly difficult game
to play Quidditch involves many
different elements first the balls the
bright red ball known as the Quaffle is
about 12 inches or roughly 30
centimetres in diameter it has been
enchanted so that it will fall to the
ground very slowly which helps prevent
players from having to constantly
retrieve it from the ground it has also
been charmed to be easily carried with
one hand
every Quidditch game involves two round
balls made of iron called the bludgers
slightly smaller than the Quaffle the
bludgers are only a bit bigger than a
basketball in a game of Quidditch the
bludgers serve as an obstacle with the
aim of hitting players off their
broomsticks the most important ball in
Quidditch is the Golden Snitch this tiny
ball about the size of a golf ball has
wings that propel it very quickly
through the air like this pool yeah you
like it net just wait it’s wicked fast
and downing impossible to see it’s
golden color makes it very difficult to
see and the balls goal is to evade
capture by darting around the air the
capture of the Golden Snitch
automatically finishes a game of
Quidditch and the team to catch it is
awarded 150 points to their score
now the players each team has three
chasers and these players spend their
time passing the Quaffle back and forth
to each other they attempt to score
points by throwing the Quaffle through
one of the opposing teams three hoops
each goal is worth 10 points the keeper
is essentially a goal keeper of his or
her team’s hoops their aim is to prevent
the chasers from scoring the beaters
they are equipped with bats which is
similar to those in baseball only
shorter they swat the bludgers away from
their teammates often towards the
players of the opposing team the seeker
this player must be an extremely adept
flier likely with the fastest broom and
the smallest member of the team their
job is to locate chase and eventually
capture the Golden Snitch and they are
in fact the only players allowed to
touch the snitch this is the position
filled by Harry Potter on Hogwarts
Gryffindor House team a Quidditch game
begins when the referee releases all of
the balls and the Golden Snitch from
their case in the center of the pitch
the game has no set time and finishes
with the capture of the snitch despite
the competitive nature of the sport
Quidditch is a game that brings together
witches and wizards young and old from
all corners of the globe
