17th century

"By the seventeenth century, any witch or wizard who chose to fraternize with Muggles became suspect, even an outcast in his or her own community."

- Albus Dumbledore

The following events occurred in the 17th century:
 * Quidditch is introduced to North America (causing anti-wizard sentiment) and New Zealand.
 * The Wimbourne Wasps take their name from a nasty incident which occurred during a match against the Appleby Arrows in the mid-seventeenth century, when a Beater flying past a tree on the edge of the pitch noticed a wasps' nest among the branches and batted it towards the Arrows' Seeker, who was so badly stung that he had to retire from the game.
 * Eldon Elsrickle terrorises the town of London with the Unlocking Charm, thus introducing it to Great Britain. To combat this series of robberies, Blagdon Blay invents the Anti-Alohomora Charm.
