Golden Snitch

The smallest ball in Quidditch: a walnut sized gold sphere with silver wings, worth one hundred and fifty points to the Seeker who catches it.

Oliver Wood ranks it above the other three balls, fast and hard to spot, and says the team whose Seeker catches it nearly always wins, which is why Seekers draw so many fouls. He reckons the longest game on record ran three months. In play it can flash past a Chaser's ear and then vanish again in the confusion of a foul.
