Just ending the game would have been a good way to implement the snitch, tbh. It would have more strategy, more reasons to block the other seeker when you’re behind. If there really had to be extra points, it should have been worth 10 points or something.
Yeah that’s the reason quidditch is a dumb fucking sport. You can be wiping the floor with the other team, but if their guy gets lucky and catches the parking lot frog, it’s all for nothing. They’ve won despite having played an objectively much worse game.
Yeah, I usually go down this same thought process every time I re-read the books. I usually end up at, “Yup, she went out of her way to avoid Quidditch by using feebler and feebler excuses every book.” It’s a shame, because it really could have wound up an exciting part of the series if it was more thought out.

It was worth 150 points. The equivalent of 15 goals. Do you mean 100 points and re-release it and continue playing?
