Wimbourne Wasps

The Wimbourne Wasps are a Quidditch team in the British and Irish Quidditch League. Founded in 1312, their robes are horizontal yellow and black stripes with a wasp on the chest. The team has won the League Cup eighteen times, and have twice been the semi-finalists in the European Cup.

The team adopted the wasp as their emblem after a game against the Appleby Arrows in the mid-seventeenth century, in which one of their Beaters batted a wasps' nest towards the opposing Seeker, who was so badly stung he had to retire. Their fans are known as Stingers, and they make loud buzzing sounds to distract opposing Chasers taking penalties.
