Several charms are used to make the game of Quidditch possible:

  • Gripping Charms, invented in 1875, are cast on the Quaffle to make it possible for the Chasers to hold onto it.
  • the Golden Snitch is enchanted so that it does not leave the playing field
  • Bludgers are enchanted to try to knock any and all players off their brooms. 
  • Dobby the House Elf managed to enchant a Bludger so that it only chased after Harry Potter, eventually managing to break his arm (CS
