The Hufflepuff Quidditch Team is the Quidditch team of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Hufflepuff House. They play in robes of canary yellow and black, their House colours. Two notable Hufflepuff Quidditch team members were Cedric Diggory (Seeker and Captain), and Zacharias Smith (Chaser and Captain).
History
1991–92
Hufflepuff were defeated by Gryffindor. Severus Snape refereed the contest, and despite Snape's biased refereeing, Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch within five minutes and won the game for Gryffindor.[2]
1992–93
Hufflepuff only got to play Ravenclaw. The Quidditch Cup was canceled before their next match against Gryffindor because of attacks on Muggle-born students.
1993–94
The Slytherin versus Gryffindor match was re-scheduled, so Gryffindor played Hufflepuff first. Hufflepuff had a new captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory. The game was played in ferocious rain, wind, thunder and lightening. Gryffindor were leading by fifty points at one stage. When both Seekers spotted the Snitch, a group of Dementors entered the stadium and came towards Gryffindor Seeker, Harry Potter, who fell about fifty feat from his broom. Diggory caught the Snitch giving his team a win by one hundred points. Diggory graciously offered to replay the match, although Gryffindor captain Oliver Wood conceded that Hufflepuff had won the game fairly.[3]
It is also known that Slytherin defeated Hufflepuff this season, yet the final score is unknown
Seeker Diggory in 1993
1995–96
Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff during the 1995–1996 school year. Although not mentioned in the books, this has to have been the case for Hufflepuff not to have won the Quidditch Cup.
Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor by 240-230. Gryffindor Beater, Jack Sloper missed a Bludger and hit his captain in the mouth. Fellow Beater, Kirke fell off his broom when Hufflepuff Chaser, Zacharias Smith came flying towards him with the Quaffle. Gryffindor Seeker, Ginny Weasley caught the Snitch from right under Hufflepuff Seeker, Summerby's nose.[4]
Hufflepuff narrowly defeated Slytherin in their final match.[5]
1996–97
Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor 320-60 after Harry Potter, the Gryffindor Team's Seeker and Captain, was knocked unconscious by a Bludger hit by the Gryffindor substitute Keeper Cormac McLaggen. It is unknown how they faired against Ravenclaw and Slytherin in their respective matches.
Uniform and equipment
The Hufflepuff Quidditch team's uniforms are canary yellow and black, the same as their house colours. Similar to the uniforms of the three other houses, the Hufflepuff's Quidditch uniform consists of a long robe, tight fitting sweater, leather gauntlets and shin-guards, and light boots. A small embroidered Hufflepuff crest is stitched onto the uniform over the heart, and the name and number of the player are on the back of the robe in black lettering.[6]
Goggles are often used in stormy playing conditions. In addition to the established uniform, the Keeper wears padded leather chest armour and an optional padded leather helmet. Beaters also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off and redirect Bludgers during matches.
