Wronski Feint
From Harry Potter Wiki
A Wronski Feint is a tactic in Quidditch where a Seeker pretends to spot the Snitch far below and races to catch it, hoping the opposing seeker will copy. At the last minute before reaching the ground, the feinting seeker pulls out of a dive, usually causing the opposing seeker to crash. The Wronski Feint was invented by Polish Seeker Josef Wronski and frequently used by famed Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.
[edit] 422nd Quidditch World Cup
On August 22, 1994, Viktor Krum used the Wronski Feint in the final of the Quidditch World Cup against Ireland. Krum successfully used the ploy to to trick Ireland's Seeker, Aidan Lynch, into diving into the ground, allowing Krum a few moments to look for the Snitch without interference.
