Rules of Quidditch



Balls

There are three kinds in all. Four are used in the game.

Quaffle: Large and red, about the size of a Soccer ball, used to score goals. (Worth Ten Points)

Bludger: Two in a game, black. Slightly smaller than a Quaffle, fly around trying to knock players off brooms.

Snitch: Most important Ball in the game. Tiny, the size of a golf ball with wings, very fast and hard to catch.


Players

Seven play at one time for each team.

Chaser: Throw the Quaffle to each other trying to score goals. Three on each team.

Keeper: Kind of like a Soccer goalie. Guards the goal posts. One player at a time.

Beater: Uses a baseball-like bat to knock the bludgers at the other team. Two players.

Seeker: Flys around trying to catch the Golden Snitch, scoring 150 points if caught. One player at a time.


Other Rules

- No Time limit.

- Each goal scored by Chasers is 10 points.

- Penalty shots are given when you get fouled.

- Catching the Snitch is 150 points.

- The game is over when the Snitch is caught.

Oh Harry, don't you see? If she could have done one thing to make absolutely sure that every single person in this school will read your interview, it was banning it!
