How many goal posts are there on a Quidditch pitch?
Quidditch is a fictional sport developed by J. K. Rowling for the Harry Potter book series. It is described as an extremely rough but very popular semi-contact sport played by wizards and witches around the world. Matches are played between two teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using four balls and six elevated ring-shaped goals. In the Harry Potter universe, Quidditch holds a fervent following similar to football as a globally popular sport. The rules of the game are extremely complicated by the standards of modern sports, and the play has been described as a cross between “cricket, soccer and hockey”.[1] The game features in every Harry Potter book but the seventh, as Harry Potter plays an important position for his house team at Hogwarts. (There was no Quidditch at Hogwarts in The Goblet of Fire due to a Triwizard Tournament, but there was a Quidditch World Cup, so technically there was Quidditch in that book.
