The Rogue Bludger


 * 

The Rogue Bludger, also known as Dobby's Bludger, The house-elf Dobby tampered with a Bludger during the 1992–1993 school year. Its purpose was to injure Harry Potter so that he would be (hopefully) sent home from Hogwarts. The Chamber of Secretswas active and petrifying students at the time. The Bludger caused the Gryffindor Beaters Fred and George Weasley to protect Harry and not watch out for the rest of the team. Despite their attempts, the Bludger succeeded in breaking Harry's arm.

After the game was over, Fred and George struggled to stuff the Bludger back into its crate, as it was still putting up a 'terrific fight.' Dobby later revealed to Harry in the hospital wing that he was the one who tampered with the Bludger, and apologised for setting it on Harry, which contradicted to Harry's earlier theory of Draco Malfoy being the culprit for being a poor sport.
