 | Quidditch
is the most popular sport in the Wizarding world and is followed by most.
|
| There
are 7 players on a team. These are the Keeper, the Seeker, 3 Chasers and 2
Beaters. 3 balls are used in Quidditch.
|
| It
is the Keeper's job from stopping the opposing team's Chasers from scoring
with the Quaffle.
|
| The
Quaffle can be placed by the Chasers to score through one of the 6 hoops
that are suspended in mid-air. It is red.
|
| 10
points are given every time there is a goal with the Quaffle.
|
| Two
black balls called Bludgers try to knock any players off their broomsticks
and it is the Beaters that try and keep the Bludgers away from their own
team and knock them towards the opposing team.
|
| The
golden snitch is the last ball. It is gold in color with little wings and
is the size of a walnut making it the smallest ball in the game.
|
| The
Golden Snitch is also the most important ball in the game as the game can
only stop once the snitch has been caught.
|
| The
snitch however, is hard to catch because it is difficult to see as it
travels fast and is extremely small. It is the job of the Seeker to catch
the snitch.
|
| The
team who catches the Snitch gets 150 points, so that team nearly always
wins.
|
| There
are 700 ways of committing a Quidditch foul and it is the Seekers who are
the ones that get fouled the most during a game of Quidditch.
