The fictional wizarding sport created by J.K. Rowling in Harry Potter is Quidditch. It is played by two teams flying on broomsticks and trying to score points with enchanted balls. The sport is one of the most recognisable recurring elements of the wizarding world.
A Quidditch team has seven players: three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper, and one Seeker. Chasers try to put the Quaffle through one of three opposing hoops, while Beaters use bats to redirect Bludgers. The Seeker pursues the Golden Snitch, whose capture normally ends the match and awards 150 points.
The rules and positions appear throughout the novels, especially in scenes involving Hogwarts house teams and the annual Quidditch competition. The sport’s name and fictional rules are distinct from real-world games. In 2012, Rowling published additional background about Quidditch through Pottermore, and real-world adaptations have used modified forms of the game.
