## History

### 1991–1992 school year

When Ravenclaw played the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Gryffindor was missing their Seeker, Harry Potter, who was unconscious in the hospital wing during the game. Ravenclaw gave Gryffindor their 'worst beating in three hundred years'.
It is most likely that either Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the ***Quidditch Cup*** - although implied that Slytherin were the victors (given the supposed importance of the Quidditch cup to the general House standings, and Slytherin's apparently huge lead): which suggests that Ravenclaw must have previously lost not only to Slytherin (otherwise Slytherin could not have been the winners) but to Hufflepuff as well. Otherwise, the record-breaking victory over Gryffindor would have given them the advantage over both Slytherin and Gryffindor in points difference, with three teams tied on 2 wins / 1 loss.

### 1992–1993 school year

Although they beat Hufflepuff by 130 points, Ravenclaw's Quidditch Cup campaign was cut short due to the attacks on Muggle-born students and the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets. It is unknown how they were in the standings for that year.
It is likely Roger Davies was on the team this season, as he was Ravenclaw's Quidditch Captain for the next year.

## Uniform and equipment

The Ravenclaw Quidditch team's uniforms were blue and bronze like their house colours.

For Beaters, they also carried small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off Bludgers during matches. The Keepers wore gloves to protect their hands.

### Safety features

Generally, protective arm-length ***Quidditch gloves*** and knee-pads were the only ***armour*** used. In stormy conditions, some players wore goggles. However, the Keeper might wear shoulder-pads, chest armour and a helmet.

## Behind the scenes

* The Ravenclaw Quidditch team is the only Hogwarts Quidditch team to not appear in the films.
* They are said to wear blue and bronze robes in the books, but in the video games, they always wear blue and white/silver.
* Gilderoy Lockhart may have been a member of the team, possibly as a Seeker.
