Overview:  Founded by Stacy Rush and Alana Biden (2009).  The Harvard Quidditch Team seeks to reach out to Witches and Wizards alike to join in the noble sport of Quidditch.  Together we stand strong and fight hard-won, bloody battles against other teams comprised of death eaters and dementors.  We train for many hours each day in the hopes of spreading the love of Harry Potter to one and all.  Our team in non-exclusive; any Potter fan can join.  This sport has been adapted from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels to be suitable for muggle players.  The positions on the team are chasers, beaters, a keeper and a seeker.  The chaser's job is to score points in the hoops at the end of the field, which are guarded by the opposing keeper.  The beater throws balls at opposing players in order to knock them out of play.  The seeker's job is to snatch a tennis ball from a cross country runner who is dressed in yellow.  Collectively we aim to crush our opponents into a fine pulp and spread the noble name of Potter.  Go fight win!
