Quiddich is a unique blend of soccer and hockey, to sum it up best, but it is played in the air on flying broomsticks. The “pitch”, or field, contains three goalposts at either end and the overall objective is to score in your goals while stopping your opponents from doing the same. Each team has seven players on the field in four different positions … the Chasers look to hold and score with the main game ball called the Quaffle. The Beaters usually accompany the chasers on the field to help protect them from (or launch attacks with) Bludgers which are magical balls used to knock opposing players off of their brooms, and the Keeper acts as a goalie to try and block shots heading for their goalposts. The Seeker is perhaps the most important position in the game though, since the Seeker’s main job is to fly after and catch the Golden Snitch … a super fast flying gold ball that awards the team who gets it 150 points and ultimately the victory.
