Ravenclaw Quidditch team

"Oh, and she's afraid she's going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because she's been flying so badly."

- Hermione Granger talking about Cho Chang

The Ravenclaw Quidditch team is one of the four house Quidditch teams at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

1991-92
When Ravenclaw played Gryffindor, Gryffindor were missing their Seeker, Harry Potter, who was unconscious in the hospital wing during the game. Ravenclaw gave Gryffindor their worst beating in three hundred years. It is most likely that either Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup this season.

1992-93
Ravenclaw's Quidditch Cup campaign was cut short due to the attacks on Muggle-born students and the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets. It is unknown how they were in the standings for that year.

1993-94
Ravenclaw, although ahead of Hufflepuff, was blocked from victory by being defeated by both Slytherin and Gryffindor.

1995-96
Ravenclaw lost the final game of the season to Gryffindor, who won the Quidditch Cup.

1996-97
Gryffindor defeated Ravenclaw in the final game 450-140 to recapture the Quidditch Cup.



Uniform and equipment
The Ravenclaw Quidditch team's uniforms are blue and bronze 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.

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.

Behind the scenes

 * The Ravenclaw Quidditch team has never appeared in the films to date.
 * They are said to wear blue and bronze robes in the books, but in the video games they always wear blue and white/silver.
 * Gilderoy Lockhart may have been a member of the team, possibly as a Seeker.
