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.

Diagon Alley Fact File Body Text

Located behind [the Leaky Cauldron](/fact-file/locations/the-leaky-[cauldron](/fact-file/objects/cauldron)) pub, Diagon Alley was the main shopping street for the UK’s wizarding community. With its ancient buildings and cobbled streets, Diagon Alley was often a busy place, particularly before term started as [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) students rushed to get the books and equipment on their back-to-school lists. Shops such as Madam Malkin’s Robes for all Occasions and Flourish and Botts sold everything from wizarding robes to cats, owls, [cauldrons](/fact-file/objects/cauldron) and quills, whilst [Ollivanders](/fact-file/locations/ollivanders) was the go-to place for finding the perfect [wand](/fact-file/objects/wand). The Alley was also home to [Gringotts](/fact-file/locations/gringotts) wizarding bank, and was connected to Knockturn Alley - a more sinister shopping street devoted to the Dark Arts.
