Then two Beaters use these type of clubs/bats to hit two black balls known as Bludgers. A Bludger tries to knock players off their brooms."
She paused and then continued. "There is a Keeper who tries to prevent the opposing team's Chasers from scoring goals. Finally, there is the Seeker who probably has the most important role. Their role is to catch a tiny golden ball that flies known as the Golden Snitch. When the Golden Snitch has been caught by the Seeker the game concludes and the team is awarded 150 points."
Tom listen to Fiona as she explain Quidditch, it sort of sounded a bit like Football except less players and it was played on a broom and something funny called a Bludger tried to knock people of their brooms, only the players could knock other players of the ball in football.
"That sound interesting, a seeker getting 150 points for catching a golden snitch." He didn't know any games where you go so many high points or end the game by catching one object.
