Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's
Quidditch Field conforms to the modern
standards of the Quidditch World Cup. The Quaffle is the traditional
red color as used in league play, with the exact dimensions as specified
in the World Cup regulations. The Bludgers are jet black, standard
size, and enchanted, as per the rules, to attempt to dis-broom as many
players as possible. The Golden Snitch boasts crafting of the finest
materials, wingspans approved by the World Cup League, and professional
game play status.
The Four
Houses each maintain their own team, with their own Captain, all members
of their respective Houses. Madam Hooch supervises Quidditch team
tryouts and practices and normally referees the matches. Each House
plays the remaining three for a total of six games per year. The
House team that accumulates the most points (wins the most games) is awarded
the Quidditch Cup, which bears the name of the winning team.
