The Quod was the explosive ball used in the game of Quodpot.[1]
During a game of Quodpot, the Quod is thrown around by the players, who attempt to get it into a pot at the end of the pitch. The pot contains a solution that counteracts the Quod's explosive nature. For each Quod that is safely handled into a pot, the scoring team gains a point. If the Quod explodes while in the possession of a player, that player must leave the field of play.[1]
History[]
The first Quod was created accidentally during Abraham Peasegood's trip to the United States when his wand came into contact with a Quaffle in his trunk. After the ball exploded in his face, Peasegood recreated the effect, and developed the game of Quodpot around the exploding ball.
