Hogwarts The next few hours of the morning mainly consisted of getting Albus' and James' things into their cases. This proved a particular problem for Albus as he, unlike most of his soon-to-be classmates had already acquired a certain flair for Quidditch. For those of you who have no idea what Quidditch is, it's a game played on broomsticks involving three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and one seeker (this position Albus had a certain talent for). It also consists of three types of balls, a quaffle, two bludgers and of course the golden snitch. Back to Albus. As you know he likes his Quidditch and it is his ambition to become seeker for the Gryffindor team. But due to his fondness he wanted to pack only his books about Quidditch, as you can already tell this was a small problem. Eventually they arranged that his parents would send the Quidditch books to him via owl. Once this was organised and everything was packed the Potters made their way to platform 9 3/4 where the Hogwarts express was ready to leave at 11 o'clock exactly.
