2 Quidditch is a fictional sport invented by the author J.K.
Rowling for the best-selling Harry Potter books. It is a ball
game in which the players try to score goals. There are four
balls and two teams of seven players. Usually the players are
wizards and witches and play the game by flying on their
broomsticks. The goals are ring-shaped and are above the
ground. The object of the game is to score more goals than
the opposing team.
