Quidditch Fact File Body Text

Quidditch was a wizarding sport played on [broomstick](/fact-file/objects/broomstick)s. The teams consisted of seven players competing to score the higher number of points, either by scoring goals by throwing a Quaffle through a hoop or by catching the [Golden Snitch](/fact-file/objects/golden-snitch) - at which point the game ended. Although the Snitch was worth 150 points, a game could be won if enough goals were scored before it was caught. Chasers and Seekers also had to avoid being hit by Bludgers, hard iron balls that were directed across the pitch by Beaters. Games were usually played by mixed teams, although the Holyhead Harpies were an all-female professional team.
