| Quidditch Quidditch is played on an oval pitch with broomsticks. The referee carries the four balls into the central circle while the 14 players stood around him. The moment the balls were released, the Quaffle was thrown by the referee and the players raced in the air. |
| The Bludgers The bludgers are made of iron. They are 10 inches in diameter. Bludgers are bewitched to chase players in-discriminately. If left to their own devices, they will attack the player closet to them hence the beaters task is to knock the bludgers as far away from their own team as possible. |
| The Quaffle The Quaffle is 12 inches in diameter and seamless. Its coloured scarlet and is used for scoring through the goalposts. |
| The Balls |
| The Golden Snitch The Golden Snitch is walnut sized and it is golden in colour with silver wings. It is bewitched to evade capture as long as possible. |
| The Players |
| The Keeper The keeper should be the first to reach the goalposts for it is his job to prevent the Quaffle entering therein. |
| The Beaters The Beaters first duty is to guard their team members from the Bludgers, which they do with the aid of bats. |
| The Chasers The Chasers throw the Quaffle to each other and score 10 points for every time they get it through one of the goal hoops. |
| The Seeker The Seeker has immense importance in the overall outcome of the match, for the capture of the Snitch so often snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. |
