Quidditch is a fictional sport developed by J. K. Rowling for the Harry Potter book series. It is described as an extremely rough but very popular semi-contact sport played by wizards and witches around the world. Matches are played between two teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using four balls and six elevated ring-shaped goals. In the Harry Potter universe, Quidditch holds a fervent following similar to football as a globally popular sport.
The game features in every Harry Potter book but the seventh, as Harry Potter plays an important position for his house team at Hogwarts. Regional and international competitions are mentioned in the series. Though in Deathly Hallows Harry is too busy fighting for his life to play Quidditch, on three key occasions in that book—getting hold of the Hufflepuff Cup and the Ravenclaw's Diadem, and during the final fight with Voldemort—the "unerring skill of the Seeker" is vitally useful to him in snatching an object out of the air.
