The popularity of Quidditch inevitably led to a decrease in the population of Golden Snidgets. The Wizards’ Council labelled the creature a protected species, meaning Snidget-hunting and the use of Snidgets in Quidditch was finally illegal. 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.

It is believed that during one of the Quidditch matches on Bodmin Moor in 1884, the Golden Snitch evaded capture for about 6 months until the players from both sides finally forfeited the match. Players are able to choose from between four different teams, each one based on a Hogwarts school house: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Each house has its own unique set of tactical cards based on how the team plays within the Harry Potter films. For example, Gryffindor have cards designed to enable them to pull off daring moves, whereas Slytherin’s cards place negative effects in their opponent’s hand.span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope>Victoria C from All lots are sold at the discretion of Shepherd's Auctions and as such reserves the right on behalf of themselves or the vendors too; He didn't catch it, he nearly swallowed it." — Marcus Flint protests Harry's accidental Snitch capture. [src] Inspired by the wizarding sport featured in the original series of Harry Potter novels and their movie adaptations, Catch the Snitch is a two-player board game that looks to recreate a Hogwarts quidditch match. The sport has two teams of players on flying brooms attempting to score the most points by throwing a ball - called a quaffle - through the enemy team’s goal hoops. Should one of the team’s seeker players catch the snitch, a small winged golden ball, that team is awarded 120 points and the game ends. Whichever team has the most points by the end is named the winner. span itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope>Jessica W from

Harry Potter Board Game: Test your skills in this fast-paced Quidditch-themed game, watch out for Flying Bludgers and catch the Golden Snitch; Strategy Game For 2-4 players ages 8 and up Le mode d'emploi de mon jeu n'est qu'en anglais. Je sais qu'il existe en français. Où puis-je l'obtenir ? A Snitch is not touched by bare skin before it is released, not even by the maker, who wears gloves. It carries an enchantment by which it can identify the first human to lay hands upon it, in the case of disputed capture. This Snitch will remember your touch, Potter. It occurs to me that Dumbledore, who had prodigious magical skill, whatever his other faults, might have enchanted this Snitch so that it will open only for you." — Rufus Scrimgeour correctly assumes what Dumbledore had done to this Snitch. [src]However, our best bet for the Golden Snitch is advanced drone technology which can be assigned a random flight path at the beginning of every match and a proximity sensor to speed up when the Seeker tries to catch it. We hope the Golden Snitch, and by extension, the game of Quidditch will be a reality in the real world.

Quidditch makes use of three balls – the Quaffle, which is used by the chasers to score goals by throwing them through the opponent team’s hoops, which fetches the team 10 points. The second ball, called the Bludger is used by the beaters of the team to aim at the players of the opponent teams to distract and impede during the match. The Snitch as described above carries 150 points and is used to end the match when caught by the seeker of one of the playing teams.

One tale concerning the Snitch is that, during a match on Bodmin Moor in 1884, it managed to avoid capture for six months until both teams finally gave up in disgust at the performance of their Seekers. Cornish wizards and witches insist to this day that the Snitch is still wild in the area, which is possible due to its magical properties.

The Golden Snitch was originally not a ball, but a little magical bird called a Golden Snidget. It was introduced in 1269, when the Chief of the Wizards' Council, Barberus Bragge, unleashed a Golden Snidget during a Quidditch match, offering a reward of 150 Galleons to the player who caught the Snidget. [1] 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. I've got the Snitch!" he shouted, waving it above his head, and the game ended in complete confusion. The Golden Snitch first appeared in the Harry Potter series in Harry Potterand the Philosopher’s Stonewhen Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team introduced Harry to the game of Quidditch at the Hogwarts Quidditch grounds. He first presents all the balls used in a Quidditch game, starting with the Quaffle and then the Bludger. Finally, he unveils the Golden Snitch and tells Harry that this is the ball that Harry, as the Seeker must be paying attention to. Sometime prior to his death on 30 June 1997, Albus Dumbledore assumed that Harry Potter would need the Resurrection Stone set into Marvolo Gaunt's ring at some point in his quest to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. He also assumed that Harry would be tempted by the stone if he was able to access it before he was fully ready to accept that he would have to let Voldemort attempt to kill him. To remedy this, he obtained this Snitch and cast further spells on it, encasing the ring within the Snitch, and causing two effects to trigger when it recognised Harry's lips. The first, which would activate at any point when Harry placed the Snitch to his lips, would make the Snitch display the inscription "I open at the close". The second effect, alluded to by the first, would activate when Harry voiced his willingness to die to the Snitch, and would cause the Snitch to open.
