Quidditch has been played for a long time. It is a great sport that many witches and wizards at Hogwarts participate in. The idea of the game is to score points by getting the balls into the goal. The snitch is worth 150 points. When the seeker gets it, that team wins the game.
A long time ago, Quidditch was different than it is now. It was spelled like 'Kwidditch'. The Chaser was referred to as the 'Catcher. The Beater was the 'Blooder'. The snitch was called the 'Snidget'.
The first official Quidditch game was played in 1398. In 1419, the council declared that Quidditch could not be played anywhere around muggles. The fact that witches and wizards flew on broomsticks was the biggest secret they had. It would be amazing to see a person just flying around on a broom. The word would be spread. No muggles should have a broomstick whatsoever for they could only stay on them for about 14 seconds.
