Harry Potter Catch The Golden Snitch, A Quidditch Board Game for Witches, Wizards and Muggles, Family Game Ages 8 & up

Product Information

Fast-Paced and Exciting: No one knows when the Snitch will launch, and there are no turns in this board game--everything occurs in real time, so don't worry if things get messy Witches and wizards living in the early twelfth century enjoyed the sport of Snidget-hunting. Golden Snidgets are small, speedy and agile creatures. These very traits made them difficult to find, but the perfect prey to hunt. The witch or wizard who could catch a Snidget was regarded very highly for showing such immense skill and talent. Though frowned upon for hurting and killing peaceful creatures, the sport was so popular that no effort was made to ban it.

Harry Potter: Catch the Snitch is being published by Knight Games, the company behind the Harry Potter Miniatures Adventure Game - released early last year to a generally poor reception - and the DC Universe Miniature Game, which features characters such as Wonder Woman and Superman. Harry heard a snort from behind him and turned around, still holding the Snitch tightly in his hand: Draco Malfoy had landed close by. White-faced with fury, he was still managing to sneer. Golden Snitches had Flesh Memories and remembered the touch of the first person who handled them, in case of a disputed capture. Everyone, including the maker, had to wear gloves when handling the snitch until releasing one for each game. Because of this, a new snitch had to be used for each game. In Harry Potter's very first match, which was against Slytherin, he caught the Snitch in his mouth during the 1991–1992 school year. [3]Furthermore, according to the rules of the game, the Golden Snitch can only be caught by the seeker of either team and it marks the final moment of a game as catching the Snitch declares the end of the game. Harry Potter is strongly associated with the Golden Snitch for several reasons. Most importantly, he proved his abilities as a skilled Quidditch seeker when he caught the Snitch with his mouth in his first-ever game. Furthermore, he was given the same Snitch which contained a Deathly Hallow inside it by Dumbledore. He pulled out of his dive, his hand in the air, and the stadium exploded. Harry soared above the crowd, an odd ringing in his ears. The tiny golden ball was held tight in his fist, beating its wings hopelessly against his fingers.

The first Golden Snitch to be made in real life is probably the one used in the Harry Potter movies. The Harry Potter filmmakers made it a point to make the Snitch as realistic and accurate as possible, despite the graphics covering all the flight scenes for it. The iconic Golden Snitch used in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stonewas made of a metal ball made of copper and later plated with gold, with art nouveau shapes carved on it and combined the elements of industrial design to make an aerodynamically accurate Snitch. Furthermore, two thin feather-like structures in the form of a sail were added to it.
