Quidditch

Quidditch is a sport that originated in the Harry Potter book series, in which wizards fly around on broomsticks trying to score points by catching a small gold Snitch, or beating a Quaffle into one of three goalposts. In 2007, the International Quidditch Association was formed and real college Quidditch teams were formed and 'muggles' began to play.

Just like any game, whichever team scores the most points wins Quidditch. The hoops are worth ten points each for getting the Quaffle through, and the team whose Seeker catches the Golden Snitch utomatically gets 150 points, so that team usually ends up winning. Usually, but not always.

1994 Quidditch Cup FinalThe Bulgarian National Quidditch team competed in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final against the Irish National Quidditch team. Irish Chaser, Troy, scored the first goal of the match. After another two Irish goals, Clara Ivanova registered Bulgaria's opening score. Then Ireland's Seeker Aidan Lynch was fooled by Viktor Krum's Wronski Feint, but managed to continue play after the aid of some mediwizards. Fifteen minutes later Ireland had stretched their lead to 130-10, when their Chaser Mullet was fouled by the Bulgarian Keeper, Lev Zograf, and was awarded a penalty. This led to a scuffle, with another penalty being awarded to Ireland, though referee Hassan Mostafa soon became distracted by the Veela . Quigley sent a Bludger towards Krum which broke his nose. Lynch then spotted the Snitch, but was beaten in the race for it by Krum. Despite this, Ireland still ran out the victors. The final score was 170-160.

What is Quidditch and what do you need for it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Quidditch is a fictional sport played in the fiction novels and movies of Harry Potter. It is played on broomsticks, and each team has 7 players-the seeker, the keeper, 2 beaters, and 3 chasers. The seeker tries to catch a fast little ball called the snitch which will end the game. The beaters keep bludgers away from their players; bludgers are larger balls that chase the players around trying to knock them off their brooms. The chasers use the quaffle, which is a red ball, and they try to score through 3 different hoops, sort of like basketball. The keeper guards the hoops to stop the other team from scoring.

How many fouls are there in Quidditch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are officially 700 possible fouls that can be committed. Although only about 10 are particularly common, like grabbing your opponents broom or colliding with them.

It should also be mentioned that several hundred of them are pretty much impossible to be committed now as players are not allowed to carry their wands during matches and the old nobility laws about carrying swords no longer apply.

There are 3 types of ball in quidditch What are their names?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Quaffle is like a soccer ball (or basketball or hockey puck) that you have to get through the hoops to score ten points. (Each team has three Chasers that try to get the Quaffle past the Keeper and through the hoops).

The Bludgers are the two balls that attack the players. Each team has two Beaters that try to knock the Bludgers away from their players and towards the other team's players.

The Golden Snitch is the most important ball. The team that catches the Snitch earns 150 points and wins the game. Each team has one Seeker that tries to catch the Snitch.

Asked by Wiki User

If you get the Quaffle in one of the goals it is ten points. (In some rule sets, in the lower (or shorter) goals it is five points.) If the Seeker catches the Snitch it is an automatic 150 points and the game is over.

Asked by Wiki User

The largest ball used in Quidditch is the quaffle. We know this because in the first book, chapter ten (Hallowe'en), it says in reference to the bludgers that they are smaller than the red quaffle. It also later says that the snitch is the size of a large walnut.

Are Quidditch games dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Becuase you're flying at such a large height and you could easily fall off your flying broomstick. Also, because animated balls are flying at your head (called Bludgers), *trying* to knock you off your broom and maybe break a bone or two in the process. Also, going at high speeds is dangerous, as you could run into anything.

There are many fouls possible, such as 'cobbing' excessive use of elbows. And while you are not supposed to use your wand during the match, the audience sometimes does and referee's have often disappeared.
