Cobbing

Cobbing is a Quidditch foul for “excessive use of elbows” (GF8, QA6).

History

All known fouls, including cobbing, were committed during the very first Quidditch World Cup of 1473 (QA6).

The Bulgarian team’s Keeper, Zograf, fouled Irish Chaser Mullet with his elbows during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final between Bulgarian and Irish teams, causing referee Hassan Mostafa to award Ireland a penalty (GF8).

This cobbing incident was the subject of the discussion between Mr Weasley and Charlie in the campground after the match (GF9).
