魁地奇
维基百科,自由的百科全书
魁地奇是小說中虛構的一種空中球賽,球員必須騎乘飛天掃帚參賽,有點像經過魔法變體版的板球或馬球。是作家J. K. 羅琳,在她的小說哈利·波特系列中創造的。

魁地奇是巫術世界中最風行的球賽運動。不但有許多職業球隊,霍格華茲魔法與巫術學院的每個學院也各有一隻球隊。在系列的第四本《哈利波特-火盃的考驗》中,哈利去看了魁地奇世界盃的比賽。魁地奇在整個系列的前六本中,扮演很重要的角色,不過羅琳曾在訪問中表示,第六本書中將是她最後一次寫到魁地奇球賽。[1].

全文請見:魁地奇規則
魁地奇球賽是在一個長橢圓形的球場中進行,兩端各設有三個得分球門。得分較多的隊伍即獲得勝利。每隊各有七名球員,包括:一名守门员,兩名击球手,三名追蹤手,一名搜捕手。共以四顆球來進行比賽。
鬼飞球是四顆球中速度較慢的,和麻瓜世界中一顆球的球賽所使用的球很相似,雖然還是用了咒語,讓鬼飞球落下的速度減緩,以方便球員抓住。追蹤手負責鬼飞球,將球射進對手的球門中可得十分。守门员負責防守球門。游走球則是兩顆沉重的鐵球,會在球場中飛來飛去,試圖把球員撞下掃帚,击球手必須將游走球打出去,以保護自己的隊員或是攻擊對手。最後一顆球是體積小、長有翅膀的金色飞贼,會繞著球場疾速飛行,追蹤手要負責抓到金色飞贼,成功的話可以獲得一百五十分,球賽也同時結束,一般說來抓到金色飞贼的球隊都會獲勝。
[编辑] 故事中的魁地奇歷史
騎乘飛天掃帚的運動,在飛天掃帚進步到能夠讓飛行者彎過轉角,和變化速度以及高度時,隨即應運而生。巫師世界中的早期畫作,描繪有古老的飛天掃帚運動。
瑞典的年度飛天掃帚競速慶典,可以追溯到十世紀左右。參賽者從Kopparberg飛到Arjeplog,總長度大約三百多英哩。比賽路線橫跨一個野生龍保護區,比賽獎座也採用瑞典短吻龍的造型。現在這項活動已經成為國際性的比賽。
1105年繪成的知名畫作Günther der Gewalttätige ist der Gewinner ("Gunther the Violent Is the Winner"),則描繪德國的古老比賽Stitchstock,這種比賽是立起一根二十英呎高的柱子,將一個龍的膀胱吹脹以後掛在頂端,由一名騎乘掃帚的參賽者,負責保護這個膀胱氣球。這名參賽者得在腰部綁上繩子,固定在柱子上,被限制不能飛離柱子超過十英呎,其他參賽者則輪流嘗試,用磨尖的掃帚把手戳破這個膀胱氣球。負責看守氣球的參賽者可以攜帶魔杖,以擊退其他人的進攻。遊戲以能否成功戳破氣球,或者看守者能不能施法使所有對手退出比賽,做為結束的標準。
有人認為魁地奇(Quidditch)這個名稱的由來,是合併不同種類球的名稱產生:"Qu"affle(鬼飞球)、Blu"d"ger(博格)以及Sn"itch"(金色飞贼)。不過在故事中的世界,魁地奇這個名稱,是從這個遊戲在十一世紀最初雛形的Queerditch Marsh而來(遊戲方式基本上和現今的魁地奇相似)。Template:HPQ
根據書中資料,魁地奇早期是一種簡單的飛天掃帚運動,球員互傳皮球(現在的鬼飞球),並且將球射進球場兩端的球門得分。隨後很快就加入了博格,當時是用下了咒的石頭,這種改變可能是受到高危險性的蘇格蘭球賽「石雨」的影響。石雨的參賽者要用頭上綁的大釜,去接住落下來的石頭。
金色飞贼的加入,也是受到巫師世界一種早期運動的影響。該運動是由巫師們試著抓住金探鳥(一種快速飛行的魔法鳥類)。1269年時,當時的魔法部長Barberous Bragge,放出一隻金探鳥,並提供150金加隆的獎金(大約等於現在的一百萬金加隆),給抓到的人。後來魁地奇比賽中,雖然用不危險的魔法小球代替,抓到金色飞贼的分數因此是150分。魁地奇有七百種犯規規定,在1473年的魁地奇世界盃中,全部上演過一遍。
[编辑] Harry Potter as Quidditch Player
Harry Potter was the first first-year in over a century to make a Hogwarts house team. As Seeker for Gryffindor, Potter won every game in which he played, except when he was injured or disabled. The Quidditch Cup was cancelled due to the Triwizard Tournament during Potter's fourth year. Following a post-match brawl with Draco Malfoy, Potter was banned by Hogwarts High Inquistitor Dolores Umbridge in his fifth year. The following year, he returned to the team as captain, and although he only managed to play one full game (in the second game his skull was broken and he was in detention for the third) he led Gryffindor to its third consecutive victory in the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup. This was due in large part to Harry's inspiring leadership and his uncanny ability to psyche up his players and to psyche out his opponents.

[编辑] 真實世界中的魁地奇
There have been computer games that simulate playing Quidditch. Major games include:
- Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
- Dissendium's unofficial Quidditch 3D, available at Dissendium.com
There have been small-scale attempts to adapt Quidditch to the technology available in the real world, using bicycles and Unicycles instead of broomsticks.
A street in Lower Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, England was named Quidditch Lane after a nearby dry ditch called a quidditch (a term which existed long before JK Rowling created the game). Harry Potter fans flock to the area to take pictures.
A Quidditch match on foot was played in Salem, Massachusetts in October, 2005. The real-life professional teams include the Betas Anonymous Punctuation Pixies and the Effortless Edibles Phizzing Whizbees. Listen and see pictures of the game at WBUR's website.
