***Release cycle theme:*** *The Wizarding World of Jostle*

***Q*** *is for **Quaffle***

The **Quaffle** is the primary ball used in the wizarding sport of Quidditch. It is a seamless, red leather ball, roughly the size of a Muggle soccer ball.

Unlike the Bludgers or the Golden Snitch, the Quaffle is the only ball in the game that doesn't fly on its own. Instead, it is enchanted with a Gripping Charm to help Chasers hold onto it with one hand while they fly. It also falls at a slower rate through the air due to a Slowing Charm, making it easier for players to retrieve if it's dropped mid-flight.

In the early days of the sport, the Quaffle wasn't even red. It was originally brown and plain, but after a particularly rainy match at Mudgley in 1711, the ball kept getting lost in the mud. It was promptly painted red, and it’s stayed that way ever since.
