Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions allows players to create their own professional Quidditch player, select a team from the Harry Potter universe, and play in various positions like seeker, beater, chaser, or keeper. The game offers a solo career mode, exhibition matches, and online multiplayer matches for teams of up to three players, similar to Madden or EA Sports FS but with a Quidditch twist.
It’s important to note that Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, like other Harry Potter-related media, has faced criticism due to its association with JK Rowling, the franchise’s creator known for making transphobic statements and engaging in controversial activism. While Rowling did not directly contribute to Quidditch Champions, sales of the game ultimately benefit her financially. In light of Rowling’s actions, real-life Quidditch leagues in the US, inspired by the fictional game, have rebranded to Quadball in 2022 as a response to her remarks.
