A Quidditch pitch is typically in the shape of an oval, five hundred feet long and a hundred and eighty feet wide, with a small central circle of approximately two feet in diameter. At each end there are three hooped Goal posts of different heights, surrounded by a scoring area. The early barrel-goals had been replaced by baskets on stilts, but whilst these were practical, they did carry an inherent problem: there was no size restriction on the baskets, which differed dramatically from pitch to pitch.

  • A Quidditch pitch is typically in the shape of an oval, five hundred feet long and a hundred and eighty feet wide, with a small central circle of approximately two feet in diameter. At each end there are three hooped Goal posts of different heights, surrounded by a scoring area. The early barrel-goals had been replaced by baskets on stilts, but whilst these were practical, they did carry an inherent problem: there was no size restriction on the baskets, which differed dramatically from pitch to pitch. By 1620, scoring areas had been added at each end of the pitch, and an additional rule in the game dictated that only one Chaser was allowed in these areas at any given time. In addition, the size of the baskets themselves had reduced considerably, although there was still a certain amount of variation between pitches. Regulations were finally introduced in 1883, which replaced the baskets with hoops of a fixed size.
  • "The Quidditch pitch is where all the house Quidditch games take place. It is in front of Hogwarts, across from the Forbidden Forest. The seats are raised high enough so that spectators can watch the game. At either end stand three golden goalposts, fifty feet high each. "Quidditch is a wizard sport, which is played high in the air on broomsticks. Each team has seven players, consisting of three Chasers, one Keeper, two Beaters, and a Seeker. The Chasers score by throwing the red Quaffle through the opposing team’s goalposts, guarded by the rival Keeper. Players must also avoid Bludgers, black balls that are struck at them with bats by Beaters. The game ends when one team’s Seeker catches the Golden Snitch – a small, winged ball – earning the team one hundred and fifty additional points. The team with the most points wins.
