History

Early history

In 1203 the team was founded.

One of the highlights of the Harpies History occurred in 1953, when they defeated the Heidelberg Harriers of Germany in a match that lasted seven days. At the end of the match, the Captain of the Harriers Rudolf Brand proposed marriage to his opposing Captain, Gwendolyn Morgan, who subsequently concussed him with her broomstick.

1980s-1990s

In June 1986 Jones started playing for the Harpies after graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Daily Prophet claims that nobody dares to disagree with Harpies' "brilliant but dangerous" Captain Gwenog Jones.[1]

Early in the year, the Harpies were scheduled to play the Wimbourne Wasps in Exmoor.

Valmai Morgan, the replacement Chaser for Wilda Griffiths who joined Puddlemere United, scored ten goals in one game, helping the Harpies to victory (presumably against the Wasps).

The Harpies played Puddlemere United at Ilkey Moor. Wands were confiscated at the gates, as crowd trouble was anticpated. Many fans handed over dummy wands, however. Puddlemere's Chaser Wilda Griffiths disappeared midway through the match. A riot broke out and fans of both sides used their wands. Gwenog Jones was held in custody after the game.

On October 1st 1999, the Harpies were 9th in the League.

2000s

Around the early 2000s Ginny Weasley began playing for the Harpies. She started playing for the team as a chaser.
