It’s the difference between hearing a stereo recording of a city sidewalk and actually going and standing outside. The tattoo shows a small illustration of a broomstick, which looks like it could easily be Harry Potter's famous Nimbus 2000. The work of art, completed by Brittany Mater, is a fun portrayal of the Quaffle going into the hoops, which, of course, is what gains each team points. The Golden Snitch wasn't invented yet a century after 1296, and as it was invented by Bowman Wright, it was created before he died.

In full flight, the Golden Snitch works likethe real thing, it will ziparound your body evading capture! The point is, flying or not flying, Quidditch is terrible and I have absolutely zero faith that the recently announced Quidditch mobile game, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, will disabuse me of this belief.

Cornering, braking, accelerating – everything had to be dialed in exactly to strike that balance between speed and control. The three balls are the Quaffle, the Bludger, and the Golden Snitch, which are all detailed wonderfully in this work of art! Two teams kicking that ball across that massive grassy field, running back and forth for hours, scoring maybe three goals the whole time, when suddenly 90 minutes into the game the bloody Seeker snags the stupid Snitch and the whole thing is over just like that. The Resurrection Stone present inside the Snitch used to be embedded in the ring that the Gaunts had, and Voldemort later converted it into a Horcrux.

The winged Snitch is enchanted to hover, dart, and fly around the pitch rapidly and indiscriminately, avoiding capture while remaining within the boundaries of the playing area. Instead, anyone with enough technical know-how can find games that are experimental or still in development by using alternate content libraries and installation mechanisms. Effectively, those games are now abandonware, which is a bit of a sad legacy for a series that had so much love and artistry poured into it.

The work of art here shows an illustration of the Golden Snitch, which became an incredibly important object in this story.

Finally, he unveils the Golden Snitch and tells Harry that this is the ball that Harry, as the Seeker must be paying attention to. In the real world, the word "Quidditch", long predating Harry Potter, occurs in some English placenames, and seems to come from Anglo-Saxon cwǣð-dīc = "mud-ditch". I wanted a sport for wizards, and I'd always wanted to see a game where there was more than one ball in play at the same time.
