Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is niche in the fact that Harry Potter fans, specifically those with fond memories of 2003’s Quidditch World Cup, will adore it. It knows exactly who its audience is, and makes sure to serve up Harry Potter references and nostalgia berries on a silver platter. The gameplay foundation is solid, but there just isn’t much done on top of it. The available modes grow generic and the lack of variety or unique challenge caused me to put the broom down and walk away much faster than I was expecting.

Released on September 3 2024, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions sees players pick up a broom, take to the skies, and compete in the iconic Wizarding World sport. After its absence in Hogwarts Legacy, many fans were champing at the bit for a Quidditch video game, and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions should fulfill those desires, though it's unclear for just how long.

I’m hopeful the roadmap updates may change my mind, but for now, I’m already hopping off my broom to set off on another adventure elsewhere.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions’ simplistic gameplay and barebones content are fun for a couple of hours, but provide little more depth than it likely would have as a minigame in Hogwarts Legacy.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions offers a unique multiplayer experience, but lack of content, technical issues, no online 6v6, and more drag it down.

Overall, Quidditch Champions gets tedious quickly, but in short bursts, it can be fun. The different roles one can take are well done, especially with the seeker, but the lack of skill shots or moves does hamper the enjoyment. Getting new unlockables might be the lifeblood of the game as they feature fun references to the movies for the fans. Hopefully, that will be enough to keep the game forward with a solid player base, despite its repetitive nature.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions does a fantastic job of capturing the magic of the Wizarding World without overdoing it on fan service. Sure, there's a healthy helping of Harry and his pals in the training segments of the game, but beyond that point, this is all about you and your handmade team of Quidditch heroes. Playing the sport is surprisingly good fun, and we can see ourselves diving back in here for a quick game every now and then for some time to come.

The wizarding world of Harry Potter is home to many fan-favourite moments, yet nothing has quite managed to surpass the magic of Quidditch, a fictional sport where the students of Hogwarts and Wizarding World alike engage in a competitive goal-based game, while riding broomsticks. A video game adaptation of Quidditch is nothing new, as EA released its interpretation of the wizarding sport in 2003’s Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup on PS2, but fast forward 21 years later, and we’ve now got a follow-up in the form of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, developed by Unbroken Studios, which follows a similar framework...

Although a great initial distraction for Potterheads, the novelty of Harry Potter Quidditch Champions fades to reveal a competent yet insubstantial grind-a-thon. With questionable voice acting, childish animation, and a flimsy campaign to blitz through in three hours flat, even the biggest Wizarding World fans will struggle to stay engaged – unless staring down the barrel of another battle pass appeals to you.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions plays the best game of Quidditch we've ever seen in video game form. There's good fun to be had both solo and with other people online, and the customisation aspects are pretty cool too - especially considering there are no paid microtransactions to be found. We have concerns about longevity considering the limited campaign and singular 3v3 multiplayer mode, but the quality of the gameplay should be enough to keep our brooms from getting too dusty in the foreseeable future.
