Quidditch
Standard Rules

Introduction

The game of Quidditch is the creative brainchild of J. K. Rowling, the phenomenally successful author of the Harry Potter books. We are introduced to Quidditch in the first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone © 1997 J. K. Rowling, published by Scholastic Books, Inc.

Quidditch, as played in the Harry Potter books, is a fast paced game, played on flying broomsticks, combining some of the elements of basketball, baseball, soccer, badminton, rugby, and a free-for-all. Quidditch is the sport of the wizarding world, but in the Muggle world, sometimes referred to as "reality", we can't fly on broomsticks or manufacture flying balls that act as though they have a brain of their own ...yet.

So, we must adapt the rules for people who can't use magic. This book covers the rules for playing Quidditch on the ground, using unenchanted equipment.
