I chose this title because the meaning of the saying is a narrow escape which suits the story because Rapunzel only had a short time to escape home when her capture left and the word "hair" links to the title because Rapunzel's hair is what she is known for.

Quidditch Fouls! X
Rowling writes that there are 700 Quidditch fouls listed in the Department of Magical Games and Sports records
Blagging: No player may seize any part of an opponent's broom to slow or hinder the player.
- Blatching: No player may fly with the intent to collide.
- Blurting: No player may lock broom handles with the intent to steer an opponent off course.
- Bumphing: Beaters must not hit Bludgers towards spectators unless the Quaffle is within the scoring area
- Cobbing: Players must not make excessive use of their elbows against opponents.
- Flacking: Keepers must not defend the posts from behind by punching Quaffles out of the hoops—goals must be defended from the front.
- Haversacking: Chasers must not still be in contact with the Quaffle as it passes through a hoop (the Quaffle must be thrown through).
- Quaffle-pocking: Chasers must not tamper with the Quaffle in any way.
- Snitchnip: No player other than the Seeker may touch or catch the Golden Snitch.
- Stooging: No more than one Chaser is allowed in the scoring area at any one time.
