Training Grounds

Training Grounds

The three hoops.

A bird's-eye view of the training grounds.

They look rather forlorn, three big poles sticking into the ground, each supporting half a hoop. Thanks to some long-forgotten sporting accident, or backfiring jinx, or whatever, the playing area for Quidditch practice is — incomplete. Still, you can come out here and throw a Quaffle around with your mates, can't you? Or maybe see if you can't work out one of those Muggle sports. I mean, that basketball's supposed to need tall hoops and, well, baskets, isn't it?
