To be honest with you, Quidditch matches have been the bane of my life in the Harry Potter books. ĭespite the sport's popularity with fans, Rowling grew to dislike describing the matches.
She explained: "I had been pondering the things that hold a society together, cause it to congregate and signify its particular character and knew I needed a sport." Rowling claims that the word "Quidditch" is not derived from any particular etymological root, but was the result of filling five pages of a notebook with different words beginning with "Q". Rowling came up with the sport in a Manchester hotel room after a row with her then-boyfriend. Aspects of the sport's history are revealed in Quidditch Through the Ages, published by Rowling in 2001 to benefit Comic Relief.Ī real-life version of the game has been created, in which the players use brooms, but run instead of flying. Regional and international Quidditch competitions are mentioned throughout the series. Harry Potter plays as Seeker for his house team at Hogwarts. The team with the most points at the end wins. The Chasers and the Keeper respectively score with and defend the goals against the Quaffle the two Beaters bat the Bludgers away from their teammates and towards their opponents and the Seeker locates and catches the Golden Snitch, whose capture simultaneously wins the Seeker's team 150 points and ends the game. Matches are played on a large oval pitch with three ring-shaped goals of different heights on each side, between two opposing teams of seven players each: three Chasers, two Beaters, the Keeper, and the Seeker. It is a dangerous but popular sport played by witches and wizards riding flying broomsticks. It first appeared in the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997).
