About Quidditch:
Quidditch is a magical sport played by witches and wizards around the world. The goal of the game is to score more points than the opposing team. Each goal is worth ten points and catching the Golden Snitch is worth 150 points. The game is concluded when someone catches the Golden Snitch or an agreement between captains is made.
The game is played by two teams of seven witches and wizards. There are three chasers who score goals with the Quaffle, two Beaters who keep the Bludgers away from their team mates, one Keeper who guards the goal posts and one Seeker who catches the Golden Snitch. The game also uses four balls (one quaffle, two bludgers and one golden snitch).
The Quidditch game begins with the referee throwing all four balls from the middle circle. The time it takes to play a game of Quidditch is variable, some games going on for many days if the Golden Snitch is not caught. Chasers can score by sending the Quaffle through the goal hoops.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Quidditch is the Golden Snitch. Quidditch players used to chase a real bird named a Snidget but with the popularity of Quidditch the Snidget population became almost extinct. As an alternative to the bird, a fake Snidget was invented and called the Golden Snitch. It is a golden ball with silver wings, bewitched to follow the same flight patterns as the Snidget bird. The ball was also charmed to stay within in the playing field.
