My copy of QTTA remains AWOL, but according to the  Lexicon,
QTTA tells that the Transylvanian team has been known to
conceal vampire bats under their robes

Found it:
Page 40, American softback edition, 2001, of "Quidditch Through the Ages"

"The final between Transylvania and Flanders has gone down in historyas the
most violent of all time and many of the fouls then recorded had never been
seen before--for instance, the transfiguration of a chaser into a polecat,
the attempted decapitation of a Keeper with a broadsword, and the release,
from under the robes of the Transylvanian captain, of a hundred
blood-sucking vampire bats...."


So now we cna honestly say that Rowling appears to have assocaited bats with
Vamps in her world. Fair enough....*winks* Hand over the crow please...and
the salsa...*grins*

Thank you gentlemen...
