[HPFGU-Movie] Quidditch in SS/PS

[Taryn Kimel]

Kriselda Jarnsaxa:
Being new to the list, I missed it if this was discussed when SS/PS came 
out, but why were the rules of Quidditch explained wrong on the movie?  In 
the movie, they said that whichever team's Seeker catches the Golden 
Snitch, wins.  They noted that throwing the quaffle through the goal 
counted for 10 points, but because of the way they explained the Snitch, it 
basically made those points sound useless, since whoever caught the Snitch 
would win.  Obviously, that's not how it works in the books, where the game 
ends when the Snitch is caught and is worth the same 150 points the movie 
mentioned, but if the other team is ahead by more points when the Snitch is 
caught, THEY win.  Also, any idea how they're going to deal with this when 
it comes to the Quidditch World Cup?  Because of the way it was explained 
in the first movie, the ending of the QWC game in GOF isn't going to make 
sense, unless they re-explain Quidditch properly in that movie?  Any thoughts?

Me:
I always just took this as the fact that almost /always/, if you catch the Snitch you'll win. I mean, the QWC circumstances were /extremely/ uncommon. Wood was basically saying that if they catch the Snitch, it's a guaranteed win, which it almost always is.
