The Appleby Arrows are a Quidditch team located in the North of England, so probably Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria (though might possibly be the village of Appleby, Lincolnshire). They founded in 1612 and their robes are pale blue, emblazoned with a silver arrow The club supporters' old practice of shooting arrows into the air from their wands every time their Chasers scored was banned by the Department of Magical Games and Sports in 1894, when one of these weapons pierced the referee, Nugent Potts, through the nose. There is traditionally fierce rivalry between the Arrows and the Wimbourne Wasps.

  • Achievements: Arrows fans will agree that their team's most glorious hour was their 1932 defeat of the team who were then the European champions, the Vratsa Vultures, in a match that lasted sixteen days in conditions of dense fog and rain.
