[edit] History

[edit] 1991-92

Hufflepuff was defeated by Gryffindor. Severus Snape refereed the contest, and Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch within five minutes.

[edit] 1992-93

Hufflepuff only got to play Ravenclaw. The Quidditch Cup was cancelled before their next match against Gryffindor because of attacks on Muggle-born students.

[edit] 1993–94

Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor when Cedric Diggory captured the Snitch, after Gryffindor's Seeker Harry Potter was attacked by Dementors. It is also known that Slytherin defeated Hufflepuff this season.

[edit] 1995–96

Both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor defeated Hufflepuff during the 1995-96 school year. It is not known which side won the Hufflepuff versus Slytherin match.

[edit] Uniform and Equipment

The Hufflepuff Quidditch team's uniforms are yellow and black like their house colours.

For Beaters, they also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off Bludgers during matches. The Keeper wears gloves.

[edit] Safety Features

Generally, only protective arm-length gloves and knee-pads are used. In stormy conditions, some players wear goggles. However, the Keeper may wear shoulder-pads, chest armour and a helmet.
