In the fictional Harry Potter universe there is even a Quidditch world cup! For children brought up on the Harry Potter series Quidditch is just as exciting as more conventional “human” sports.

The game was first played in the human world in 2005 when a student named Xander Manshel from Middlebury College in the U.S. state of Vermont, joined with a group of students who were prepared to give it a try. Things have grown exponentially from there. The rules attempt to stick closely to the game as it is played in the books. First off, there are two teams, each with seven players.

Of those seven players, three are designated as ‘chasers’ who attempt to score by throwing a ball through one of the opposite team’s three goals. Two more players are known as ‘beaters’ and throw balls at the opposing team to stop them from scoring. Of the final two players one is a ‘keeper,’ who guards the goals, and the other is a ‘seeker’, who has to catch the golden ‘snitch’, a flying golden ball which instantly ends the game if caught. In the human version of the game players have to constantly hold onto broomsticks as they run around, while the snitch is represented by a cross country runner dressed in yellow.

However ridiculous it may sound, Quidditch players are keen to maintain the validity of their sport. “A Quidditch game might look crazy to somebody who’s never seen it before, but a basketball game might look crazy to an external observer watching it for the first time,” said a Quidditch player from George Washington University in Washington DC.

So, now you know the rules do you want to try your hand at Harry Potter’s favorite sport? All you have to do is grab a broomstick, gather some friends and ignore the puzzled looks of bystanders as you play the game of wizards.
