Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had its own Quidditch pitch where Quidditch teams could practise, hold try-outs and play matches against each other. Each year would see a total of six inter-house matches (with each house competing for the Quidditch Cup playing against every one another), along with numerous training sessions by each house team.

The stands surrounding the pitch were decorated differently for each Quidditch match at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Every second stand would be decorated with the colours of one team, and every other stand with the colours of the opposing team. Spectators would sit in between these stands.
==Behind the scenes==
*In the films, the pitch is very similar to the one described in the books, but the location of the pitch changes in most of the films. In the first three films, it appears to be on the same side of the castle as the Training Grounds but down a hill. In Half-Blood Prince the pitch is closer to the lake down past Rubeus Hagrid's cabin.
**Also in the films, the pitch is decorated with all of the school colours, as opposed to only the colours of the houses that are playing against each other. In addition there are two stands in the centre of the pitch that are coloured in black and white.
*In , a trench was added around the edge of the pitch for the scene where Harry is chased by the rogue bludger.
