Good Afternoon Everyone! Today we will learn about the History of Quidditch. Ok! Let's Begin!

 

Lesson 2-Quidditch was invented in 1256 A.D. by a wizard named Valerius Bluren. He wanted something exciting to bring together all the witches and wizards, for in his time, no one really got out and socialized.
At first, the game only had six players, three from each team. A "stopper" now known as the keeper, and two "whippers" (chasers). There was no seeker, there wasn't even a snitch. The game was played to one hundred, with each score worth ten points. There was only one goal at each end.
In 1512, beaters and bludgers were added to the game, as well as the third chaser. The first World Cup match was played in 1513. The winner was France.
Surprisingly enough, the seeker wasn't added until 1624. But the first World Cup with seekers was in 1627.
The modern Quidditch game was instituted in 1699. The rules have been relativly unchanged since then.

Homework: Write a story about the very first Quidditch game. You can either be playing in it or spectating it.
