This is done to prevent the players from looking where the Golden Snitch is situated. The Golden Snitch is kept at a sufficient distance as per the judgment of the referee. The fun thing about this game is that there is no set time limit for the game; this is why it also extends up to even an hour sometimes.
However, the duration of the game depends upon the strength, fitness, and experience of the Quidditch teams. During game time, a player who gets hit by a Bludger has to dismount their broom and instantly go back and touch the net to resume the game.
During the game, the seeker from both teams has only one duty, that is, to possess the Golden Snitch, and once they do it, the game is declared over. The team with the highest scored points will be declared the winner of the Quidditch match. Final Words: Quidditch is a fun game that is played between two teams. You May Also Like.
