The Quidditch Pitch

The Quidditch Stadium, located on the far side of the Hogwarts Grounds, is visible from every part of the landscape. The stadium, when not being used, has it's heavy iron gate bearing the Hogwarts crest locked up tightly. This however, does not stop some students from going in and flying around anyhow. When passing through the tunnel like entrance way there are four spearate door ways, two on each side. Each of these doors bear the colors, names, and emblems of each one of the houses. These doors, complete with team rosters and rankings lead to the locker rooms and take-off points for each team.

Spectators travel the rest of the way down the tunnel towards the pitch, but just before it starts the tunnel splits into two walkways that lead to the different seating sections.

The Quidditch pitch itsself is an awe inspiring sight. Larger than a football field and in an oval shape, each end is lined with three-fifty foot high goal posts. The seating sections for each house are adorned heavily with the colors, banners, and mascots of each house. These stands are level with the hoops and the announcer's stand and the professors' stands are decorated with the schools colors of purple and gold and the Hogwarts crest.
