Quidditch is a popular sport at Hogwarts and at Hogwarts Always as well. The 'sport of warlocks' is played with 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, 1 Keeper and 1 Seeker. These players use a quaffle, 2 bludgers and a snitch in the game. The Chasers' and Keeper's concern is the quaffle, the Beaters go after the bludgers and the Seeker chases the snitch. The quaffle is a fairly mundane ball passed between the Chasers and then thrown at hoops, guarded by the Keeper of the opposite team. The Beaters carry big bats to hit the bludgers with and so change their course. Should a bludger hit a player, then that player is out for a certain amount of time before they can rejoin. In HA quidditch all the positions are the same (ie 3 chasers, 2 beaters, 1 keeper, 1 seeker) and standard quidditch rules apply, but all actions are trivia based and you must answer the question correctly in order to catch or pass the quaffle, save a shot, or re-direct a bludger. All questions will be Harry Potter related and all answers will be found within the series or on one of the encyclopaedias online. There is a time limit of 3 hours from the time of the referee's posting for you to answer the question set. If you do not answer correctly within this time you will forfeit possession. Chasers will drop the quaffle, Keepers will let the other team score and bludgers will hit players if this time limit is exceeded. If you are hit you will be taken to the medic tent where you will spend 2-6 hours depending on severity of injury. You cannot play during this time. There is however a way round this. The brooms you buy change the amount of time you have to answer. Everyone gets the three hours but you can as it were, buy more time by buying a better broom. The better the broom, the more time you get! The list is below. Shooting Star: No time extension Cleansweep Eleven: 30 minutes extra Comet Two Ninety: 30 minutes extra Nimbus 2001: 60 minutes extra Firebolt: 120 minutes extra Homework 1. Complete the sentence 'Quidditch is the sport of......' 2. How many players are on a quidditch team? 3. How do you play quidditch on oH? 4. If you are hit by a bludger how long must you stay out of the match? 5. If a chaser has a Nimbus 2001 and shoots within 3 hours and the Keeper has a Cleansweep Eleven but takes 4 hours to answer, will the goal be scored? |
