"Hundreds of seats were raised in stands around the pitch so the spectators were high enough to see what was going on. At either end of the pitch were golden poles with hoops on the end."
Hogwarts has its own Quidditchpitch where Quidditch teams could practice, hold try-outs and play matches against each other. Each year will see a total of six inter-house matches (each house competing for the Quidditch Cup), along with numerous training sessions by each house team [1].
The stands surrounding the pitch are decorated differently for each Quidditch match at Hogwarts. Every second stand would be decorated with the colours of one team, and every other stand with the colours of the opposing team [2]. Spectators would sit in between these stands.
History
1995
"The Quidditch pitch was no longer smooth and flat. It looked as though somebody had been building long, low walls all over it, twisting and criss-crossing in every directions"
In the films, the pitch is very similar to the one described in the books, but the location of the pitch
An undecorated Hogwarts Quidditch pitch
changes in every film.
In the first three films, the pitch only had sixteen stands, but in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince there are twenty and they are closer together.
