The Quidditch Pitch is in the shape of an oval, five-hundred feet long and one-hundred eighty feet wide, with a small central circle of approximately two feet in diameter, from which all the balls are released at the start of the game. At each end there are three hooped goal posts of different heights, surrounded by a scoring area. As Quidditch is an aerial sport, the Quidditch pitch features spectator seating at high vantage points, in ten different towers. Eight representing the houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry while the other two are for score keeper or none biased faculty.
