Each team has seven players, three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker.

Now the chasers handle the quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops.

That's me, defends the hoops with me so far.

The only thing I want you to worry about is this the golden snitch?

Just wait, it's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see what'll I do with it.

You catch it before the other team seek her.

So quidditch is a sport full of specific terms and names.

Some of the words are completely made up that is they don't make any sense in real English.

Other words actually mean something and can be interpreted without much of an explanation.

So wood says that every quidditch team is made up of seven players being divided into three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker.

Let's you, there are three kinds of balls.

So he explains that players called the chasers handle the ball, named the quaffle and try to score points by putting it through the hoops.

A hoop is a large ring of wood, metal or similar material like a basketball hoop or the piece that holds a barrel together to handle something.

In this case is to hold and control something with the hands, check out this example, Jack are the letters given back.

You do me a will taught me how to handle a sword.

And the word chaser comes from the verb to chase.

If you are chasing someone or chasing after someone, you are following them quickly in order to catch or reach them, start the van.

Hey, now the chasers handle the quaffle and tried to put it through one of those three hoops, the keeper, that's me defends the hips.

So wood tells Harry that he plays the keeper position, the keeper much like the goalkeeper or goalie in some real sports such as soccer and hockey is the player responsible for defending the goal area and stopping the other team from scoring.

You better take this, you better as an idiom meaning should or need to, especially when advising someone to do something.

So you better take this literally means something like it would be better if you took this.

It is actually a colloquial way to say you had better after contracting the word had.

So normally proper English would require you to say or write, you'd better.

However, the way the D in sounds when said against the B and better makes it almost inaudible.

Many English speakers end up saying and even writing you better, not bad potter, you'd make a fair beater, the player called beater.

So we hear Oliver say that Harry would make a fair beater.

Although the adjective fair is mostly used in the sense of justice.

It can also refer to the level of quality of something or somebody meaning ordinary or acceptable example.

The movie wasn't great but it wasn't bad either.

I thought the actors gave a fair performance.

I mean, I'm a fair flyer but I better than fair the way I heard it.

So wood is saying that Harry would make a fair beater.

He could play as a beater and it wouldn't be that bad.

Uh oh, in Quidditch, the Bludger is a heavy ball that magically moves through the air by itself as if it were alive.

Trying to hit and knock down players f watch yourself.

Even though this is a made up word from the wizarding world, it reads and sounds similar to the verb to bludgeon meaning to hit someone hard and repeatedly with a heavy weapon.

So wood informally calls the Bludgers nasty little buggers.

In this sense, the adjective nasty refers to something or somebody that behaves in a bad or very unpleasant way that is dangerous, unkind or violent X factor.

It, I didn't expect you to do it the first time.

That's one nasty dementor bugger is a slang expression used to refer to a silly or annoying person animal or thing I feel.
