Goal protection!

That's not true. According to Prisoner of Azkaban, the bludger can be thrown at the Keeper whenever the quaffle is inside the scoring area.

okay so that still doesnt help when people are out oif the zone tho

[wraith pasture]

to be fair to the game systems, a human keeper can very easily protect themselves from bludgers sent their way via the kicks. timing is super lenient on kicking away bludgers

Based on it saying "the Beater cannot run with the bludger" I think you're trying to use rules from irl Quadball as being lore accurate?

Mans clearly never seen chamber of secrets

Draco was playing dirty yeah but he wasnt breaking the rules

[trail belfry]

Those rules are from Muggle Quidditch, not real Quidditch, even in the movies you can see how the Bludger is used against Gryffindor's keeper.

I mean there is an achievement in the game called Knock On Wood for doing exactly that haha

[trail belfry]

For not running with the bludger to Keeper? I am confused.

[floral citrus]

Nah, I meant hitting the keeper with the bludger like what happened to Oliver Wood.
