Flood, Alison (22 June 2016). "Quidditch leaves Harry Potter behind as (real) World Cup fever grows". The Guardian. 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]

Retrieved 29 May 2017.To be honest with you, Quidditch matches have been the bane of my life in the Harry Potter books. They are necessary in that people expect Harry to play Quidditch, but there is a limit to how many ways you can have them play Quidditch together and for something new to happen.

ISBN 9780812694550. Matches are played on a large oval pitch with three ring-shaped goals of different heights on each side, between two opposing teams of seven players each: three Chasers, two Beaters, the Keeper, and the Seeker. The Chasers and the Keeper respectively score with and defend the goals against the Quaffle; the two Beaters bat the Bludgers away from their teammates and towards their opponents; and the Seeker locates and catches the Golden Snitch, whose capture simultaneously wins the Seeker's team 150 points and ends the game. The team with the most points at the end wins. Quidditch matches are played over an oval-shaped pitch, with a scoring area at each end consisting of three hooped goal posts, each at a different height. Each team is made up of seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker. A real-life version of the game has been created, in which the players use brooms, but run instead of flying.But jumping — and hopefully throwing the Quaffle — through those hoops just might be worth it, because the best way to describe the experience of Seeker VR is that it's magical. While there have been other Harry Potter games, a VR version feels special because of its ability to transport you inside the world, where you become an active participant. AKA a wizard. Long before the Golden Snitches were created for the purpose of Quidditch, there existed bird a called a Golden Snidget that was thrown into the air before the Quidditch match began. Early Quidditch rules required the seeker of either team to catch this bird for the game to end.

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. Heilman, Elizabeth E.; Donaldson, Trevor (2009).
