The '''Slytherin Quidditch team''' was the [[Quidditch team]] for the [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] [[Slytherin]] [[Hogwarts Houses|house]]. Each year, they competed for the [[Inter-House Quidditch Cup]], an award presented to the Hogwarts House team that earned the most points. Unlike the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team|Gryffindor]], [[Hufflepuff Quidditch team|Hufflepuff]] and [[Ravenclaw Quidditch team|Ravenclaw]] teams, the Slytherin team had no qualms with cheating and unsportsmanlike conduct.
   
Most members, representative of the [[Slytherin]] house, are cunning and vicious, while the others are brutish and violent. The Slytherin team's cheers are usually very insulting, like that of ''[[Weasley is Our King]]''.

It had been noted that the Slytherin team employed players of brute strength, rather then skill. An example of this was [[Gregory Goyle]], who was given the position of [[Beater]] in his [[fifth year]]. The Slytherin team's cheers were usually very insulting, like that of ''[[Weasley is Our King]]''.

Despite their superior brooms, Slytherin lost their first match of the season against Gryffindor. During the rainy Slytherin versus Gryffindor match, the Slytherin Chasers were dominant, taking a 60-0 lead at one point. [[Harry Potter]] was relentlessly pursued by a [[rogue Bludger]] so [[Oliver Wood]] called for a time-out. However, Harry agreed to play on, telling the Weasley twins to stop flying around him so he could pursue the Snitch. When the action resumed Harry was struck on the elbow by a Bludger, which broke his right arm. Despite this, when he spotted the Snitch he was able to chase after it and grasp it in his left hand, winning the match for Gryffindor.

The Quidditch Cup was cancelled this year due to the [[Triwizard Tournament]] being held at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], much to the astonishment of many students. The announcement was made by Albus Dumbledore, [[headmaster]] at the time.

Although [[Dolores Umbridge]], via her position of [[High Inquisitor]], decided to ban all unapproved teams, she immediately gave the Slytherin Quidditch team approval to play. Meanwhile, Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall had to plea with Professor Umbridge to allow the Gryffindor team to play.

Malfoy ceased playing due to [[Plot to assassinate Albus Dumbledore|more important matters]], though rather than outright quit the team he feigned illness in which [[Harper]] took his place as Seeker (it was implied that Malfoy even paid Harper to be the substitute). This intrigued Harry, as previously Draco suffered minor injuries yet exaggerated to ensure the entire match was postponed until the weather changed for the better.

Due to his other matters at hand, Draco ceased playing Quidditch altogether for the rest of the school year, and even lost interest in knowing the results, as he never watched any of the other matchups and barely bothered to mock Harry when his rival was heading to another match. They lost against Gryffindor. The outcomes of Slytherin's matches against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are unknown. Draco's absence led to a great decrease in the team's efficiency, seemingly that nobody in Slytherin had talents that were able to make up for his.

Latest revision as of 15:12, 2 July 2023

Angelina Johnson: "Well, they don’t look bright enough to tell one end of a broom from another, but then I was always surprised Derrick and Bole managed to find their way onto the pitch without signposts."
Harry Potter: "Crabbe and Goyle are in the same mould."
— The Slytherin Quidditch team's questionable choice of players[src]

The Slytherin Quidditch team was the Quidditch team for the Hogwarts Slytherin house. Each year, they competed for the Inter-House Quidditch Cup, an award presented to the Hogwarts House team that earned the most points. Unlike the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teams, the Slytherin team had no qualms with cheating and unsportsmanlike conduct.

It had been noted that the Slytherin team employed players of brute strength, rather then skill. An example of this was Gregory Goyle, who was given the position of Beater in his fifth year. The Slytherin team's cheers were usually very insulting, like that of Weasley is Our King.

History

18th century

Katie Rayknolls was captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team from 1724 to 1728. Vicky Bishopper succeeded Rayknolls until 1732, when Robin Higgy became captain. In 1736, Mark Sommertime succeeded Higgy. Russell Lucky was the next captain, from 1740 to 1744.

The following captain was Dan Darker, from 1744 to 1748, and then Jess Lafington, from 1748 to 1752. Kris Kolumbiko followed, until 1756, when David Makehay became captain. The next captain was Mark Overcliff who took up the position in 1760.[1]

19th century

Philomena played in the team in an unknown position.[2]

1890–1891 school year

Imelda Reyes was the Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team in the 1890–1891 school year, though as Quidditch was cancelled for the year by Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black, the team did not get to play.[2]

1940s1970s

1970sSlytherinQuidditchTeam

A 1970s Slytherin team photo

From 1940 to 1944 Slytherin were captained by Winky Crockett, until Neil Lament took up the role. In 1948, Andrew Snowy Owl became captain and remained so until 1952. Jo King was captain from 1952 to 1956. Rufus Winickus replaced him. Jody Jacknife was Slytherin captain from 1960 to 1964. Stuart Craggy was captain from 1964 to 1968, followed by Steve Laughalot.[3]

In the 1970s, Steve Laughalot remained Slytherin's captain untill 1972. Emma Vanity was captain from 1972 to 1976.[3] Lucinda Talkalot replaced Vanity as captain. Regulus Black played as a Seeker for Slytherin in 1978.

1985–1986 school year

Slytherin finished second, third or fourth. Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup.[4]

1990–1991 school year

According to Gryffindor Head of House, Minerva McGonagall, Gryffindor was "flattened" by Slytherin.[5]

1991–1992 school year

"He didn't catch it, he nearly swallowed it."
— Marcus Flint protesting Harry Potter's catch of the Snitch.[src]
Quidditch in Philosopher's Stone film

Slytherin vs Gryffindor match in 1991

Marcus Flint was in his sixth year and was Slytherin Captain and a Chaser. Adrian Pucey was also a Chaser. Miles Bletchley was Keeper and Terence Higgs was Seeker.

Their opening game was on a cold November's day against Gryffindor. Both Seekers spotted the Snitch, but as Gryffindor Seeker, Harry Potter honed in on it, he was illegally blocked by Marcus Flint. Gryffindor scored the resulting penalty. Flint was struck in the face by a Bludger.

Professor Quirrell interfered with Harry's broom, trying to unseat him. Quirrell's attempt was thwarted when a small fire broke out on the stand he was occupying. After regaining control of his broom, Harry caught the Snitch by almost swallowing it. Flint protested to referee, Madam Hooch, but she judged it fair, so Slytherin were defeated 170-60.[6]

The outcomes of their matches against Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are not known.

1992–1993 school year

"Funny you should mention Draco’s father. Let me show you the generous gift he’s made to the Slytherin team. Very latest model. Only came out last month, I believe it outstrips the old Two Thousand series by a considerable amount. As for the old Cleansweeps — sweeps the board with them."
— Lucius Malfoy's donation to the Slytherin Quidditch team[src]
Slytherin Quidditch team

Slytherin Quidditch team in 1992

In the beginning of the school year, Draco Malfoy's father Lucius Malfoy bought the entire Slytherin Quidditch team Nimbus 2001s. As a result of his family's generous donation, Draco replaced Terence Higgs as Seeker.[4]

Despite their superior brooms, Slytherin lost their first match of the season against Gryffindor. During the rainy Slytherin versus Gryffindor match, the Slytherin Chasers were dominant, taking a 60-0 lead at one point. Harry Potter was relentlessly pursued by a Rogue bludger so Oliver Wood called for a time-out. However, Harry agreed to play on, telling the Weasley twins to stop flying around him so he could pursue the Snitch. When the action resumed Harry was struck on the elbow by a Bludger, which broke his right arm. Despite this, when he spotted the Snitch he was able to chase after it and grasp it in his left hand, winning the match for Gryffindor.[7]

Unfortunately, the Quidditch Cup was completely cancelled due to attacks on Muggle-born students before the Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff match, so Slytherin did not get to play against either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.

The Slytherin Quidditch team vs Gryffindor

Slytherin's captain was still Marcus Flint. His fellow Chasers were Graham Montague and Cassius Warrington. Peregrine Derrick and Lucian Bole were Slytherin's Beaters, Malfoy was Seeker whilst Miles Bletchley kept his place as Keeper. Lee Jordan commented that the captain "seems to be going for size rather than skill" in the lineup.

The Slytherin versus Gryffindor match was re-scheduled as Flint claimed his Seeker, Malfoy had an injured arm, so the first match was Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff.

Slytherin narrowly defeated Ravenclaw, a week after the start of term after the Christmas break.[8]

When Harry spotted the Snitch for the third time, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Flint walked onto the pitch, dressed as Dementors. Earlier in the year, the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff was interrupted by real Dementors, despite Professor Dumbledore's claim that they would not interrupt regular Hogwarts activities during their search for Azkaban escapee Sirius Black. Harry cast a Patronus at them and then caught the Snitch, granting not only a Gryffindor victory but costing Slytherin 50 house points as a result of the Dementor prank.[9]

On the first Sunday after the Easter holidays Gryffindor played Slytherin. Slytherin were leading the Championship by 200 points, meaning Gryffindor needed to win the match by 210 points to claim the Quidditch Cup. Gryffindor's Angelina Johnson scored first and Flint deliberately crashed into her, so Fred Weasley threw his Beater's bat at the back of Flint's head which smashed into his broom handle, bloodying his nose.

Penalties were given to each side. Alicia Spinnet scored and Gryffindor Keeper Oliver Wood saved. Katie Bell scored another penalty after Montague grabbed her head. Flint then scored for Slytherin. Bole hit Spinnet with his club and George Weasley elbowed him in the face, resulting in two more penalties. Oliver Wood saved again and Gryffindor scored. A goal from Katie Bell made the score 50-10. Bole and Derrick winded Wood with two Bludgers to the stomach.

Johnson scored the resulting penalty, and Gryffindor moved into a 70-10 lead when Alicia Spinnet scored. As Harry Potter chased the Snitch, Malfoy grabbed his Firebolt. Alicia then missed a penalty and Montague scored for Slytherin. After Johnson scored to make it 80-20, Malfoy plummeted towards the Snitch. Harry pursued him and took both hands off his broom to reach out and capture the Snitch, winning the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor.[10]

Slytherin must have defeated Hufflepuff to go into the last game leading the championship by 200 points,[10] considering they only narrowly defeated Ravenclaw.[8]

1994–1995 school year

The Quidditch Cup was cancelled this year due to the Triwizard Tournament being held at Hogwarts, much to the astonishment of many students. The announcement was made by Albus Dumbledore, headmaster at the time.

1995–1996 school year

He cannot block a single ring,

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle replaced Derrick and Bole as the beaters on the 1995–1996 team. Slytherin lost their match against Gryffindor and narrowly lost to Hufflepuff. The outcome of Slytherin's match against Ravenclaw is unknown.

Although Dolores Umbridge, via her position of High Inquisitor, decided to ban all unapproved teams, she immediately gave the Slytherin Quidditch team approval to play. Meanwhile, Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall had to plea with Professor Umbridge to allow the Gryffindor team to play.

Slytherin vs. Gryffindor match in 1996, Gryffindor wins

Vaisey replaced Adrian Pucey as a Chaser the 1996–1997 school year, Urquhart replaced Montague as both a Chaser and Captain. During their match against Gryffindor, Vaisey was not able to play due to a Bludger hitting his head during practice.

Malfoy ceased playing due to more important matters, though rather than outright quit the team he feigned illness in which Harper took his place as Seeker (it was implied that Malfoy even paid Harper to be the substitute). This intrigued Harry, as previously Draco suffered minor injuries yet exaggerated to ensure the entire match was postponed until the weather changed for the better.

Due to his other matters at hand, Draco ceased playing Quidditch altogether for the rest of the school year, and even lost interest in knowing the results, as he never watched any of the other matchups and barely bothered to mock Harry when his rival was heading to another match. They lost against Gryffindor. The outcomes of Slytherin's matches against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are unknown. Draco's absence led to a great decrease in the team's efficiency, seemingly that nobody in Slytherin had talents that were able to make up for his.

1997–1998 school year

It is unknown whether or not the Quidditch Cup was played during this year. If it was, Malfoy would not have remained a Seeker, due to his involvement with the Death Eaters.

The Slytherin Quidditch team's uniforms were green and silver, representing their house colours.

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

Safety features

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