Quidditch Fouls

There are 700 fouls in the game of quidditch, but most of these fouls are not open to the public. The most common fouls are

• Blagging: No player may seize any part of an opponent's broom to slow or hinder the player (Draco Malfoy commits this foul in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, thus preventing Harry from seizing the Snitch).
• Blatching: No player may fly with the intent to collide. (Substitute Slytherin seeker Harper breaks this rule when he collides into Harry after insulting the latter's friend, and Gryffindor Keeper, Ronald Weasly. This occurs in the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.)
• Blurting: No player may lock broom handles with the intent to steer an opponent off course. (Often occurs whilst playing Slytherin)
• Bumphing: Beaters must not hit Bludgers towards spectators (although Harry jokingly orders one of his Beaters to send one at Zacharias smith  in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), or the Keeper, unless the Quaffle is within the scoring area (in the first film, however, Marcus flint a Chaser, commits this foul with a Beater's bat, and Madam Hooch refuses to penalise him for it).
• Cobbing: Players must not make excessive use of their elbows against opponents. (Marcus Flint, the Slytherin Chaser, commits this foul against the Gryffindor Chaser, Angelina Johnson, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban).
• Flacking: Keepers must not defend the posts from behind by punching Quaffles out of the hoops—goals must be defended from the front.
• Haversacking: Chasers must not still be in contact with the Quaffle as it passes through a hoop (the Quaffle must be thrownthrough).
• Quaffle-pocking: Chasers must not tamper with the Quaffle in any way.
• Snitchnip: No player other than the Seeker may touch or catch the Golden Snitch.
• Stooging: No more than one Chaser is allowed in the scoring area at any one time. (However, game play in Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup and the fan-made Q3D permit this behaviour.)

International renowned player Patrick Mckenzie of Scotland is the only known player to commit more than half of these in one match, with multiple offenses.
