In this painting by Jim Kay, Harry is shown squinting through the rain, his hands firmly clasped around his broomstick; a rain-blurred Draco Malfoy flies towards him in the background. This portrays the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin in Harry’s second year. In the match a rogue Bludger followed Harry relentlessly, eventually breaking his arm. Despite this, Harry, a natural flier and the youngest Seeker to play at Hogwarts in a century, caught the Snitch and won the game.
