Quaffle
itemBright red leather ball approximately football-sized, thrown by Chasers through goal hoops for 10 points.
The Quaffle, a bright red, football-sized leather ball, serves as the central offensive projectile in Quidditch throughout the Harry Potter series, thrown by Chasers through goal hoops to score 10 points each. Introduced in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone during Harry's first broom-flying lesson and Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match, it remains a consistent element with no significant design changes across the seven books. Its role underscores the fast-paced excitement of Quidditch, evolving from a novel discovery for Harry to a staple in high-stakes tournaments like the Quidditch World Cup and Triwizard Tournament.
