How To Play
Quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each team has seven players; three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker, that's you.  There are three kinds of balls. The red one's called the quaffle. Now the chasers handle the quaffle, and try to put it through one of those three hoops.  Each time the chasers get the quaffle through, their team gets 10 points.  The keeper defends the hoops.  The two black balls are called bludgers.  They whizz around the pitch trying to knock people off of their brooms.The beaters carry bats to use to hit a bludger towards an enemy before it hits one of their teammates.  The seeker catches this walnut-sized gold winged ball called the snitch before the other team's seeker does.  When the snitch is caught, the game is over, and the team with the snitch gets 150 extra points.
