Quidditch Teams
House Teams
The team which wins the most matches each year is
awarded the Quidditch Cup, a great honour. Special
awards are given to the best players as well (SS/f).
Each year, the various House teams play each other.
This results in six games of Quidditch:
Gryffindor v. Slytherin
The first match of the year, normally held in November
(SS, CS, PA, OP), but moved to the end of the season
in PA.
Hufflepuff v. Ravenclaw
Held at the end of November (PA10).
Ravenclaw v. Slytherin
January (PA12).
Gryffindor v. Hufflepuff
Normally held shortly after St. Valentine's Day (CS14,
OP26).
Hufflepuff v. Slytherin
Early May (OP30).
Gryffindor v. Ravenclaw
The last match of the season, held in late May, usually
before final exams (SS17, OP30).
In Prisoner of Azkaban, Slytherin requested a change
in schedule on the basis of Draco Malfoy's injuries, so
the usual playing order was not followed, with all
Gryffindor's other matches moving up one time slot
and Gryffindor - Slytherin moving to the end of the
schedule.
On the normal schedule shown above, the games are
grouped into three pairs, such that for each pair of
games, all four teams play, with no team playing two
matches back-to-back without a break. The
Christmas break falls between Hufflepuff's first two
matches, and the Easter break falls between
Slytherin's last two.
Gryffindor
Robes: Red/Scarlet.
Gryffindor traditionally fields a strong team, although
they lost the cup to Slytherin for seven years between
1985 and 1991, ever since the great Charlie Weasley
was Seeker for the team. With the addition of Harry
Potter as Seeker in 1991, at the time the youngest
House player in over a hundred years, the Gryffindor
team was widely believed to be the best team at
Hogwarts. Unfortunately, the team lost their chance
for the cup in spring 1992 because Harry was out of
action for the final game and again in spring 1993
when the competition was cancelled.
In 1994, finally, Gryffindor took their well-deserved
victory and won the cup. The captain for Gryffindor
was Oliver Wood, a strong and very capable player
who played Keeper in Harry's first three years. Wood
was obsessive about the game, dragging his team out
for more practices than any other team and devising
complicated strategies over the summer to inflict on
his players in the fall.
Katie Bell - Chaser.
Angelina Johnson - Chaser. (captain 1995 - 1996)
Andrew Kirke - Beater. (1995 - 1996)
Harry Potter - Seeker. (1991 - 1995)
James Potter - Chaser. (1970s)
Jack Sloper - Beater. (1995 - 1996)
Alicia Spinnet - Chaser.
Charlie Weasley - Seeker. (1980s)
Fred Weasley - Beater. (until 1995)
George Weasley - Beater. (until 1995)
Ginny Weasley - Seeker. (1995 - 1996)
Ron Weasley - Keeper. (1995 - 1998)
Oliver Wood - Keeper. (captain) (1991 - 1993)
Slytherin
Robes: Green
The Slytherins field a very strong team. They won the
Cup for seven years in a row until Gryffindor finally
took it away from them in 1994. Slytherin strategy
often appears to favour brawn over skill, and they will
not hesitate to use dirty tricks or cheating. There are
no girls on the Slytherin team. Draco Malfoy's father
purchased a set of Nimbus 2001 brooms for the team
in exchange for their allowing Draco to play Seeker.
Bletchley - Keeper. (1991)
Bole - Beater. (1993)
Crabbe - Beater. (1995 - 1998)
Derrick - Beater. (1993)
Marcus Flint - Chaser. (captain)
Goyle - Beater. (1995 - 1998)
Terence Higgs - Seeker. (1991 - 1992)
Draco Malfoy - Seeker. (1992)
Montague - Chaser. (1993)
Adrian Pucey - Chaser. (1991)
Warrington - Chaser. (1993)
Hufflepuff
Robes: Yellow
The Hufflepuff team really proved itself a strong
contender in the 1993-4 season, with Cedric Diggory
putting an excellent side together. Diggory was a bit
large for a Seeker, but he was very skilled. He led the
Hufflepuffs to victory over Gryffindor during that year,
although the outcome may have been different if
Harry Potter hadn't fallen off his broom when
Dementors entered the stadium.
Cedric Diggory - Seeker.
Zacharias Smith - Chaser.
Summerby - Seeker.
Ravenclaw
Robes: Blue
Cho Chang - Seeker.
Roger Davies - (captain).
