Quiditch Equipments

Quidditch is a wizdarding game of wich you fly on brooms. each team has there are 7 players on a team, a keeper, 3 chasers 2 beaters and the seeker. the keeper stays by their team goal and tries not to let the quaffel through one of the three goals. the chasers try to throw the quaffel through the other teams goal to win points. the seeker has to go after the snitch. if he/she catches it his/her team gets 150 points and the game ends. the beaters have bats to block the bludgers from hitting another team mate.

A quaffel is a red soccer ball sized ball. its enchanted to fall slowly through the air when a player drops it.

A bludger is a ball made of iron. they try and hit players. the bludgers are like obstacles for the students in the game.

A Golden Snitch is a small golden ball the size of a walnut. its enchanted to hover and dart aroung the pitch. the seeker only looks for the snitch and watches out fer bludgers. no player but the seeker is aloud to touch the snitch. a seeker has special gloves to handle the snitch when its captured.

Each team is made up of seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker.

The Chasers progress up and down the pitch passing the Quaffle by hand amongst themselves, in an attempt to score goals by throwing it through one of their opponent's three goal hoops. In this respect, the game is similar, as Harry suggests in the first book, to "basketball on broomsticks with six hoops".[HP1]

The Keeper is charged with protecting the three goal hoops, in much the same way as a goalkeeper in football.

The Beaters are armed with wooden clubs that are similar to, but shorter than, baseball bats. They are tasked with protecting their team-mates from the Bludgers by knocking these balls off course or towards opponents.

Finally, the Seeker, usually the lightest member of the team and equipped with the fastest broom, is charged with searching the pitch for, chasing down and eventually capturing, the elusive Golden Snitch. Seekers are the only players permitted to touch the Snitch.

Each team includes a captain, who may play any of the four roles. The captain helps the team practice and chooses the team players after the tryouts.
