Quidditch /ˈkwɪdɪtʃ/ is a fictional sport, created by author J. K. Rowling in her fantasy fiction series Harry Potter. The story of Harry Potter centres around wizards and witches studying their magical craft at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Born out of the lore of witches using flying broomsticks for transportation, Quidditch was developed by the author as the most popular sport in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter; a complex game played completely in the air by players on flying broomsticks.
