"Hundreds of seats were raised in stands around the pitch so that the spectators were high enough to see what was going on. At either end of the pitch were three golden poles with hoops on the end." [Book 1, Chapter 10]

2 Beaters: "It's their job to protect their side from the Bludgers and try and knock them towards the other team."

1 Keeper: "fly around our hoops and stop the other team from scoring"

1 Seeker: "It's the Seeker's job to catch it [the Golden Snitch]. You've got to weave in and out of the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers and Quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins his team an extra hundred and fifty points"

2 Bludgers: "two identical balls, jet black and slightly smaller than the red Quaffle" ....."The Bludgers rocket around trying to knock players off their brooms."

1 Golden Snitch: "Compared with the Quaffle and the Bludgers, it was tiny, about the size of a large walnut. It was bright gold and had little fluttering silver wings." ..... "the most important ball of the lot ... very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see"

This page - like many of the pages on this website - is under construction whilst all the different aspects of the books are linked together. Sol's "Welcome page" gives details about the different areas of the site and new items being added - along with Harry Potter book reviews and film reviews - and the main Area 13 index page gives an overview of our reasons for creating this intricate guide to JK Rowling's Harry Potter books.

All the highly-complex set-ups to make all the interlinking possible have now been completed. However in the light of the continuing uncertainties regarding 'Harry Potter copyrights' which affect all sites or site areas with Harry-Potter-related themes, visitors may wish to read our Special Note of 1st July 2008.

It's a bit long - sorry!   but there was a lot to be included, all things considered.
