• While Quidditch has its origins in the eleventh century, a number of primitive broomstick games were likely inspirations for the modern game.

  In Germany, witches and wizards played ‘Stichstock’, while the Irish and Scottish games of ‘Aingingein’ and ‘Creaothceann’ were violent and sometimes fatal. In one primitive game, players flew uprooted trees.

• The longest Quidditch match lasted approximately three months.
  The Wizarding World was united by Quidditch, which was the one sport that wizards and witches played and watched obsessively

  Teams had to bring on substitutes so that players could sleep.

• Before the Golden Snitch, the Seeker attempted to catch the Golden Snidget — a magical Snitch-like bird which was driven to near-extinction through Quidditch. Metal-charmer Bowman Wright invented the Golden Snitch as a replacement.
• The Golden Snitch has a flesh memory and can recall its first human contact.

  As such, it’s never touched bygd human hands before a match, and Snitch manufactures must wear protective handskar.
