Quaffle-pocking was a common Quidditch foul that consisted of altering the Quaffle somehow (e.g. poking holes in it so that it would fall faster or zigzag). Only Chasers could commit this foul.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Quaffle-pocking may be a reference to the cheating methods Baseball pitchers sometimes use to gain an advantage by altering the ball in some way, such as coating it in a sticky substance to increase contact with the hand and increase the ball's spin when thrown.
