Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup

Background

Experience the magical game of Quidditch from the popular Harry Potter series. Use your broomstick and gain insane speeds as your battle with your team and against other competitors for the title of Hogwarts Cup champion. Choose from any international based team. Pull of high flying moves while you play all your favorite positions like the Chasers, Beaters and Keepers.

Gameplay

Starting with any one of the four Hogwarts House teams—including Harry Potter's Gryffindors—players learn Quidditch basics with five original challenges and the Hogwarts House Cup competition. Once completed, players can enter the international World Cup tournament, choosing from a range of international teams including the USA, Bulgaria featuring Victor Krum, the hard-hitting Nordics, England, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia. Each national team sports its own Quidditch gear, has a unique stadium environment, and different strengths that lend depth and strategy, especially when two gamers face off for the first-ever Harry Potter multiplayer competition.

The Quidditch World Cup tournament progresses through a unique ladder system where players must defeat the team ranked above them by a variable amount of points, making the choice of when to go after the Golden Snitch a tactical one—capture it before amassing enough points to advance up the ladder and you may win the match but lose a chance to advance.
