Chaser

(Redirected from Chasers)
Gryffindor Chaser Angelina Johnson.

Chaser is a position in the wizarding sport of Quidditch. There are three Chasers per team. The Chasers control the Quaffle and attempt to get it through the goal hoops past the Keeper. Each goal is worth 10 points.

[edit] History of the Chaser

The Chaser is the oldest position in the game of Quidditch, as the game once consisted solely of scoring goals. They were formerly known as Catchers in the early days of the game. The one major change to the role of the Chaser was in 1884, when the rules were changed to allow only one Chaser into the scoring area while trying to score a goal. This was done in an effort to stop Stooging during a game.
