Chapter 7: Quidditch

The man and his friends also discovered Quidditch, a sport played on broomsticks. They decided to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

The man was surprised to find that he was a natural at flying. He was made the Seeker for the team, a position that required speed and agility. Quidditch is a game of magic world in which 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. 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. The team with the most points at the end wins.
