Alright, so there are seven players per team. One Keeper, he's in charge of guarding the three hoops on his end up of the pitch. Three Chasers, two Beaters, and one Seeker -- that's me. The goal of the Chasers is to toss one of the balls, the Quaffle, through the opposing team's hoops. Each time they manage it, they get 10 points. The Beaters are equipped with bats and their job is to hit these two other balls called Bludgers into the other players and knock them off course, disrupt play, that kind of thing. The Bludgers themselves are enchanted, see, they aim for the players, so it's also the Beaters job to protect their own teammates.
Then the Seeker -- that's me -- has to catch the Golden Snitch. It's the tiniest ball, about the size of a walnut, and is incredibly fast. You're awarded 150 points if you catch it, and that also signifies that the game is over. Usually if you catch the Snitch, it's likely that your team will win. But actually, just this past year in the Quidditch World Cup, the team that caught the Snitch lost! It was an incredible match, but I digress.
