Quidditch

Quidditch is the premier sport of the magic world. It takes place on flying broomsticks. It consists of two teams who have to get the quaffle in one of three hoops on either side of the Quidditch feild. To win a match the Seeker must catch the golden snitch.

Bludger- a medium sized ball that trys to hit the quidditch players. The beaters job is to hit this ball away and attempt to hit players on the other team. It moves very fast and is hard to avoid.

Quaffle- This is a big ball that a chaser has to get into one of the three hoops at the ends of the feild. But the chaser has to get the quaffle past the keeper, who guards the hoops.

Golden Snitch- a fast little golden ball with wings. It flys around at a very fast pace. It is the seeker's job to catch this. When the Seeker does catch the snitch that team wins the match.
