Double Eight Loop

The Double Eight Loop is a Quidditch manoeuvre used by Keepers to defend all three goals (QA10).

It involves flying in a figure eight formation around the goal posts at a very high rate of speed and is often used to protect the three goals during a penalty shot by the opposing side (QA10).
