ABOUT THE GAME

Quidditch is a fairly simple game which is played on broomsticks at mind-numbing speeds. Sorry Muggles but this game isn't for you :).

Quidditch Balls:

1 Snitch - Golden, about the size of a golf ball, silver wings and very fast

2 Bludgers - Bludgers are hit by Beaters in attempts to knock opposing players of their broomsticks, you don't want to get hit by one of these babies!

1 Quaffle - Quaffles are used to score goals, these are a little smaller than a soccer ball

 

Quidditch Players:

1 Seeker - Zigzags through the field in search of the Snitch

2 Beaters - Use wooden sticks to hit the Bludgers away from their teammates

3 Chasers - Try to score goals with the Quaffle

1 Keeper - Basically...A goaltender, tries to keep the opposing team from scoring a goal with the Quaffle

OBJECTIVES

 

-Score as many goals as you can (with the Quaffle)

-Have a higher score than opposing team when the Snitch is caught

-Try not to get hit with a Bludger
