1991-1992 Quidditch Cup
The 1991-1992 Hogwarts Quidditch Cup was the first Quidditch Cup Harry Potter competed in. It was notable for the appointment of Harry Potter to the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Seeker despite his first-year status, making him the youngest player for a hundred years.

Thanks to Harry's efforts, Gryffindor came very close to winning the Cup, but due to his incapacitation at the eleventh hour before their match against Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw were the winners.

Match 1: Gryffindor (170) vs. Slytherin (60)
This was the first match Harry Potter ever attended or competed in, and he was regarded by many Gryffindors - particularly team Captain Oliver Wood - as their secret weapon, though attempts to keep him secret largely failed. Gryffindor took an early lead in the match thanks to their excellent Chasers, though Slytherin put up a moderate fight. Slytherin also suffered from poor performance from Seeker Terence Higgs, who was easily outstripped to the Golden Snitch by Harry Potter, forcing Slytherin Captain Marcus Flint to foul him to avoid swift defeat.

Controversy hit the match when Quirinus Quirell attempted to murder Harry (under the orders of Lord Voldemort) by jinxing his broomstick. The unscrupulous Flint used this to gain the lead by scoring five goals while the crowd was distracted. When the jinx was inadvertently stopped by Hermione Granger, Harry came hurtling to the ground with, it transpired, the Snitch in his mouth. This caused Gryffindor to win the match.
