Quidditch is a sport based on the fictional sport developed by British author J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series of children's novels. The sport was created in 2005 at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. It has grown into its own separate and distinct sport after seven[2] publications of rulebooks.[3]
In Quidditch, as in fictional Quidditch, there are seven players on each team: 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, 1 Keeper and 1 Seeker. Quidditch has been adapted for play on the ground, with game play confined to a playing field comparable in size to a hockey rink.[4]
Three circular goals are placed on either side of the pitch. The goals are often circular tubes on top of PVC pipes. All players are required to carry a broom between their legs at all times, on pain of a foul.[5] Volleyballs are used as the Quaffle, and dodgeballs serve as the Bludgers. While the Snitch is a magical object within the canon of the Harry Potter novels, in quidditch the Snitch is simply a tennis ball contained in a sock tucked in the waistband of the snitch runner. The snitch runner is a neutral player affiliated with neither team dressed in all gold or yellow. After release, the snitch runner (and thereby the snitch itself) is allowed to roam an area beyond the playing field. When played on a college campus the range is often the entire campus.[6] The seekers search for the runner around campus; if they fail to catch him, he returns to the field after a pre-determined time.
The game begins with the Quaffle and Bludgers placed in the center of the field and all players in line with their respective goalposts. After the snitch is out of sight, the referee yells 'Brooms Up!' to start the game. The game continues until the snitch has been caught. 30 points are awarded to the team who captures the snitch, and the team with the highest amounts of points wins.

History and influences[edit]
Muggle Quidditch has its roots in the fictional Harry Potter sport of the same name. The sport is adapted using elements of Rugby, Dodgeball, and Lacrosse.[7]
Positions in quidditch[edit]
Chasers are responsible for passing the quaffle and scoring points by throwing the quaffle through one of the opponent's goals for 10 points. Three chasers from a team may be in play at one time. When a Bludger hits a Chaser in possession of the Quaffle, he or she must drop the Quaffle and run back to his or her own goalpost to simulate recovery time.
Keepers are the goal protectors (similar to goalkeepers in soccer) and must try to block attempts to score by the opposing team's Chasers. One keeper from a team may be in play at a time. The Keeper is invulnerable to Bludgers when within their team's Keeper zone, an area around the team's hoops. Once outside of the Keeper zone, the Keeper serves as a fourth Chaser.
Beaters attempt to hit the opposing team's players with Bludgers and attempt to block the Bludgers from hitting their team's players. Two Beaters on a team may be in play at a time.
Seekers attempt to catch the snitch. Though the snitch leaves the pitch at the start of the game and often does not return until a predetermined period has passed, seekers are able to search for the snitch off the pitch throughout the game.
Equipment[edit]
The game is played with six standing hoops, three on each side of an elliptical pitch. Each player must hold a broomstick between their legs. There are three different types of balls in play, and five total: the Quaffle, three Bludgers, and the Snitch.
The broomstick[edit]
Probably the most iconic piece of equipment for quidditch, the broomstick serves the purpose of being a "handicap" such as one-handed dribbling in basketball or using only your feet in association football. The player must stay mounted on their broomstick for every moment of play unless they have been hit with a bludger, in which case the player needs to dismount from the broom and return to the hoops. To be mounted on the broomstick means that the player must hold the broom between their legs and not have it fully on the ground. It can be supported by their thighs or hands equally, just as long as it is not attached to their person nor fully resting on the ground.
The hoops[edit]
Three hoops are placed on either side of the pitch of differing heights (1m, 1.4m and 2m), placed two broomsticks apart (2.34 m). Chasers and keepers can score by throwing the quaffle through any one of the hoops, from either front or back, gaining ten points for their team per score. Any player experiencing a knock-out effect from either falling off their broomstick or getting hit with a bludger must touch with skin (not broom) any one of their hoops before returning to play.
The quaffle[edit]
The quaffle is a slightly-deflated regulation volleyball that can only be manipulated by chasers or keepers. Used for scoring, it may pass through any hoop from either side. Regardless of which team caused the quaffle to pass through the hoop, as long as it is in play, a goal is scored against the team whose hoop was scored upon.
The bludger[edit]
The bludger is a slightly-deflated dodgeball that can only be manipulated by beaters. At any given time there are four beaters in play, but only three bludgers; this means that one team may gain possession of two and thus have an advantage, but still not have sole control of them all. The bludgers are used to hit any other player on the field. Upon being hit by a bludger previously in the possession of an opposing beater, the player suffers the knockout effect. This means they must dismount their broom, drop any ball that they may have been carrying, and touch their team's hoops before resuming play. It's worth noting that there is no friendly fire, meaning that bludgers thrown by beaters cannot affect any of their teammates.
The snitch[edit]
The snitch is a tennis ball at the bottom of either a gold or yellow sock. The sock is tucked into the back of the snitch runner's shorts as if it were a tail. The snitch runner may do everything in his or her power to protect the snitch from being snatched by seekers. Only seekers may make advances towards the snitch or the snitch runner, and no forceful contact with the snitch runner is allowed. The game ends when the snitch is grabbed by a seeker, awarding that seeker's team 30 points.
International Quidditch Association[edit]

The five teams being USA, Canada, France, UK and Australia. The day started off with a round robin and high expectations for Team USA, and UK, mainly. The first match saw the UK get defeated by France, then soon Australia was defeated by USA. This trend continued through the round robin, USA coming out on top, UK being knocked out. Then the finals took place and the placings were Gold: USA, Silver: France, and Bronze: Australia.

The Harry Potter Alliance (also known as the HPA) is a nonprofit organisation run primarily by Harry Potter fans. It was founded by Andrew Slack in 2005 to draw attention to human rights violations in Sudan.[1] Since then, the organisation's campaigns have focused on topics such as literacy, United States immigration reform, gay rights, sexism, labor rights, mental health, body image, and climate change.[2] They have received recognition from many popular figures in the Harry Potter community and have been the subject of multiple academic studies on fan activism and civic engagement among youth.[3][4][5][6]

History[edit]
2005-2008[edit]
The Harry Potter Alliance was founded in 2005 by comedian Andrew Slack and the wizard rock band Harry and the Potters, initially collecting donations for Amnesty International at their shows. In 2006, the organisation partnered with Walmart Watch to create a series of YouTube videos about the "Dark Lord Waldemart" in order to educate fans about Walmart's labour practices.[7] The three videos have been viewed nearly three and a half million times total.
In 2007, the Harry Potter Alliance broadcast a special edition of PotterCast, a popular fandom podcast, called "Becoming Dumbledore's Army: Harry Potter Fans for Darfur," to educate fans about genocide in Darfur. They partnered with STAND, a student branch of the Genocide Intervention Network, and asked members to participate in the annual STANDFast project by giving up one luxury for a week and donating the money they saved to STAND to benefit civilians in Darfur. The effort raised $15,000 for STAND.[8] They also joined the 24 Hours for Darfur project, which sought to make a 24-hour video of individuals speaking out against the genocide in Darfur, by asking members to submit videos as fans. When CNN.com's asked for submissions of fans showing their love for Harry Potter to their iReporter site, the Harry Potter Alliance asked members to upload submissions showing their love for Harry Potter while holding signs that said, "Save Darfur." Then, in 2008, the HPA asked members to withhold support for sponsors of the 2008 Summer Olympics who were "implicitly funding the genocide in Darfur through overseas investments."[4]
2009-2011[edit]
In conjunction with the release of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film in 2009, the organisation launched a "What Would Dumbledore Do" campaign, asking fans to tweet about the lessons they learned from Harry Potter's headmaster Albus Dumbledore using #dumbledore, attend the film release wearing a nametag with one thing Dumbledore taught them, and apply those lessons in their lives.[9][10]
The HPA also began its now-annual Accio Books! campaign in 2009, collecting over 13,000 books for their partner Agohozo Shalom Youth Villiage in Rwanda. Since then, the annual drive has collected over 86,000 books, benefiting The Delta Center for Culture and Learning who distributed the books to communities in need across the Mississippi Delta, the Imagine Better library at Bedford-Stuvyesant New Beginnings Charter School, Read Indeed, Books For Kids, and other local organisations. Since 2013, they have partnered with the International Quidditch Association and NaNoWriMo for the campaign.[citation needed]
After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Harry Potter Alliance partnered with Partners In Health and other fan communities to create Helping Heal Haiti. With the help of partners, the Wizard Rock community, Maureen Johnson, John and Hank Green, the HPA auctioned over 100 items including the Harry Potter books and a thank you card donated by J. K. Rowling. In two weeks, the HPA raised over $123,000 for Partners in Health In Haiti. The money raised helped Partners in Health charter five planes to Haiti full of medical supplies. The planes were named after characters in the Harry Potter series and DFTBA ("Don't Forget To Be Awesome") in honor of the Nerdfighter community.[citation needed]
In June 2010, the Harry Potter Alliance competed against 10,000 other charitable organizations to win a grant from the Chase Community Giving Contest on Facebook. They received 38,689 votes to win the first place grant of $250,000.[11] The money received from this grant went towards expanding their reach and improving their literacy and LGBT rights programs.
In June 2010, The Harry Potter Alliances and Savetheinternet.com joined together to campaign for Net Neutrality. They launched a viral video consisting of many well-known figures speaking out for the cause, several of the people who took part were John Green, Hank Green, Wil Wheaton, Maureen Johnson and Adam Savage.[12] In this video they all urged the Federal Communications Commission to preserve Net Neutrality.
In the months leading up to the final Harry Potter film release, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the Harry Potter Alliance launched their Deathly Hallows campaign. Each month, the organisation highlighted a different "horcrux," or injustice, for members to work to end. The first horcrux, "Starvation Wages," focused on inhumane working conditions in the chocolate industry[13] and asked that the Harry Potter themed chocolate frogs made by Warner Brothers be fair-trade certified. This later developed into the HPA's currently on-going "Not in Harry's Name" campaign. According to their website, an independent report[14] gave Harry Potter chocolate an "F" in human rights. Executive director Andrew Slack personally reached out to Warner Bros. CEO Barry M. Meyer about the HPA's concerns, and Meyer responded with comments about their commitment to ethical sourcing. Slack reached out again to discuss ways to ensure the ethical sourcing of Potter chocolate, but he was met with comment that they are satisfied with the practices of the company they are using to source the chocolate.[15]
During the Deathly Hallows campaign, the HPA also partnered with ReachOut.com to fight the effects of depression and the "dementor horcrux," challenged harmful body image, incorporated an Accio Books! book drive, teamed up with Marriage Equality Rhode Island and the Gay-Straight Alliance on marriage equality and bullying, and worked with Splashlife to address climate crisis.[citation needed]
2012-present[edit]
On July 31, 2012, staff member Julian Gomez posted a video the organisation's YouTube channel explaining that he was an undocumented immigrant.[16] The organisation partnered with Define American and later launched their "Superman Is an Immigrant" campaign, inviting members to tell their families' immigration stories and change the conversation about immigration reform.[17]
Later that year, the HPA ran a fundraiser entitled Equality for the Win, or Equality FTW, on Indiegogo raising a total of $94,803 dollars from 2,289 donors across the globe for their equality-related initiatives. They nearly doubled their goal of $50,000. Donors gave money in exchange for exclusive perks from people such as John and Hank Green, Potter Puppet Pals, Evanna Lynch, LeakyCon, StarKid and more.
[18] At the LeakyCon held in London in 2013, The Harry Potter Alliance created the Apparating Library, a program where attendees donate one book to the library and receive a voucher to come back another day during the convention to redeem their voucher for a different book. The program will continue at other large fan events.
Notable Discoveries[edit]
JK Rowling discovered this group, and according to Time she said, "It's incredible, it's humbling, and it's uplifting to see people going out there and doing that in the name of your character."[6] She soon after featured the organisation on her website.
The HPA has also received significant support from the Vlogbrothers, John Green and Hank Green. The HPA is a frequent favorite for donations from the annual Project for Awesome.
Emerson Spartz, founder of MuggleNet, has embraced the Harry Potter Alliance. "As readers we get very emotional when werewolves and house elves are being discriminated against," he describes. "The Harry Potter Alliance shows how those feelings can relate to real problems that we can solve."[19]
Researcher Henry Jenkins said, "The HP Alliance has created a new form of civic engagement which allows participants to reconcile their activist identities with the pleasurable fantasies that brought the fan community together in the first place."[20]

The International Quidditch Association (IQA) is the governing body for the sport of Muggle Quidditch. It was founded as the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association in 2007 following the very first intercollegiate Quidditch match.[1][2] In 2010 the IQA took its current name. It now comprises over 1000 teams and prospective teams from 13+ nations, but primarily the United States and Canada.[3]
The IQA was founded on the campus of Middlebury College, in Vermont, the International Quidditch Association is the outgrowth of wildly popular on-campus tourneys. The Association currently encompasses 226 schools including Vassar College, Virginia Commonwealth University, Emerson College, Cornell University, and Boston University. The 2006 Middlebury Quidditch World Cup gained the attention of the Wall Street Journal, which subsequently profiled the phenomenon on its front page,[4] while the 2007 edition was featured as a cover story in the 'Life' section of the 27 November 2007 edition of USA Today. A portion of a Middlebury College - Amherst College match was shown live on the CBS morning show on 28 March 2008. 14 schools attended the 2008 Quidditch World Cup from as far away as the University of Washington and Louisiana State University. This is the first year that another country supplied a team (McGill University from Canada). A site was launched to show a live feed of the tournament.[5]
Everyone is eligible to compete on a quidditch team. The IQA divides teams into 3 types: High School, Collegiate, and Community. For the World Cup, it names a college champion and a high school champion. College and community teams now qualify for the World Cup at regional championships, due to the large number of competing teams.[6]

History[edit]
“Muggle Quidditch,” or “Ground Quidditch,” began in 2005 as an intramural league at Middlebury College in Vermont. The rules were adapted from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter novels by Alexander Manshel, the first Quidditch Commissioner.
In 2006, Alex Benepe took over as the Middlebury Commissioner and, in 2007, founded the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association following the first intercollegiate Quidditch match between Middlebury College and Vassar College on November 11, 2007.
Since then the IQA has helped students from more than 400 colleges and 300 high schools form teams, and over half of them are active already. The vast majority are based in the US, where Quidditch is represented in 45 states. US teams are split into six regions: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, Southwest, and West. Other countries with teams or leagues that play by IQA rules include Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
In 2010 the IQA changed its name to the International Quidditch Association and became a registered nonprofit organization. Today the IQA is composed of the Commissioner/CEO, Alex Benepe, other executive staff (the COO and CTO), a Board of Directors, seven departmental directors (Development, Gameplay, Human Resources, IT, Marketing, Membership, and Teams), and an extensive volunteer staff that includes regional directors and state representatives. There is also an extensive volunteer staff for major events such as QuidCon, a convention for players and other interested parties, and the World Cup.[7]
The IQA serves to promote Quidditch as a new sport and lead outreach programs to increase athletic participation among children and young adults and bring magic to communities. The Marketing, Development, and Teams departments are particularly dedicated to this aspect of the sport. One promotional tool is the magazine "Quidditch Quarterly"; which is the official magazine of the IQA and the only publication dedicated to the sport of quidditch.[8]
The fourth annual world cup was held November 13–14, 2010 in DeWitt Clinton Park in New York City. Its website said 757 athletes representing 46 teams competed.[9][10] The fifth world cup took place on Randall's Island in New York City, and 96 teams competed in two divisions over two days.[11]
