Dragon Bladder

From UnknowableWiki

The bladder of a dragon was used in the German game of Stichstock, a medieval forerunner of Quidditch.

In the game, a twenty-foot pole was topped with an inflated dragon bladder. The player that was to guard the bladder was tied to the pole with a rope around his waist, allowing only a ten-feet radius. The bladder-guardian was allowed to use his wand to stop or impede the other players, whose objective it was to puncture the bladder with the sharpened end of their broomsticks. The game was stopped only when the bladder-guardian was exhausted, if the bladder was punctured, or if every player was hexed by the bladder-guardian (QA2).
