Quidditch is the most popular sport in the Wizarding World. Matches are played between two teams with seven flying contestants riding flying broomsticks.
Players/Positions
Each team is made up of seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker. Quidditch is not sex-segregated, and many professional teams include female and male players.
The job of the Chasers is to keep possession of the Quaffle, and try to score goals (worth 10 points) by throwing it through one of the opponents' three hoops. They can pass it among themselves, but only one player is allowed in the scoring area at any time.
The two Beaters have to protect the rest of the team from the Bludgers by hitting them at the other team with a wooden bat , which they hold in one hand. They are usually the biggest and strongest of the team. They are not allowed to hit the Bludgers at the crowd, the referee, or the Keeper.
The Keeper has to protect the team's goal hoops by flying in front of them and stopping the opponents from throwing the Quaffle through them.
The job of the Seeker is to catch the Golden Snitch before the opposing team's Seeker can do so, thus ending the game and scoring 150 points. This almost always means that the successful Seeker's team wins.

Rules
- Players must not stray over the boundary lines of the pitch, although they may fly as high as desired. The Quaffle must be surrendered to the opposition if any player leaves the boundary.
- A time out may be called at any time by a team Captain. It may be extended to two hours if a game has already lasted for more than twelve hours. Failure to return to the pitch afterward disqualifies the offending team.
- The referee can impose penalties if a foul occurs. A single Chaser from the fouled team takes a penalty shot by flying from the central circle towards the scoring area. The opposing team's Keeper may attempt to block this shot, but no other player may interfere.
- Contact is allowed, but a player may not grasp another's broomstick or any part of his or her body.
- No substitution of a player is allowed, even if one is too badly hurt to continue.
- Players may take their wands onto the pitch, but they must not be used on or against any players, any player's broomstick, the referee, any of the four balls, or the spectators.
- Players are not allowed to attack one another by wand, any part of body, or broom at any times.
