Comparing Quidditch in Every Harry Potter Video Game

[@RetroRaconteur]

Which game had your favorite interpretation of quidditch?

[@arrowghost]

The lore for Quidditch was shown a lot in Hogwarts Mystery, especially the moves on how to perform them and so on. But to make it work for Quidditch Champions, the gameplay is going to be tough to nail it, covering all 4 roles and even have a multiplayer, it would be an e-sports of itself for all HP fans.

I really enjoy this style of video diving into the history of game mechanics

[@RetroRaconteur]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@faramund9865]

Hard to believe Quidditch WC is 20 years old. Picked up the game again recently and all the mechanics feel modern despite the graphics not being all that. But man, 2003.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Right?! Amazing it has been that long.

[@Mary_Studios]

So glad you mentioned that Hogwarts Mystery has Quidditch I feel like no one knows about it. And it was my favorite part of that game

[@RetroRaconteur]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it. I haven't played it myself, but it definitely looked like an interesting take on the sport.

[@arrowghost]

The game was made so simple, that's why it covers not just all 4 roles, but also on how the special performances were animated. The only unrealistic part of Quidditch is taunting your opponent with funny faces. With such simplicity, also applies to classes & their relevant subjects & chapters too.

Great video! I always forget about the GB versions of the Quidditch Games. HOT TAKE, Quidditch Champions will have a difficult time being a standalone game after Hogwarts Legacys success.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks for stopping by, James! I actually never played any of the handheld versions. I need to try them at some point.

[@rootntoot2215]

I think it will do pretty good lol although the graphics choice is something I don't like 😅 kinda wish they went for something closer to hogwarts legacy

[@MechaShredZilla]

Played quidditch champions playtest, was a blast, the HP quidditch game on the ps2 is still pretty good these days, Magic Awaken's quidditch even for mobile/PC is still more interactive than most in the series, all we can do is wait for Quidditch Champions to release!

[@Lor_D_Richafa]

I'm telling you. If Quidditch Champions is half of what the Wolrd Cup game was i'll be EXTREMELY happy

[@RetroRaconteur]

For sure! Hopefully they'll have some offline modes to go for the House cup and World cup.

[@Lor_D_Richafa]

@@RetroRaconteur That would be great

[@faramund9865]

QWC was basically all about making combos so you could get enough energy to catch the snitch. Didn't even have to score to do that. They may have to divert from the cannon to make the game fun, I don't know.

[@LongplayUniverse]

Awesome video!

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks! Love all of your old-school HP Let's Plays!

[@hotelvasthorizon]

I've always wanted a really good standalone Quidditch game. Quidditch World Cup was fun, although too easy. I'm not too sure how I feel about the upcoming game. The art direction looks a bit off to me, but I'll keep an open mind.

[@Shadowen925]

I think they need to allow broom control remapping in HL before any actual Quidditch DLC.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Would most likely need some tweaks, for sure!

[@faramund9865]

I mean QWC was about the WC and not Hogwarts. This is where you can also up the difficulty level to where it actually becomes entertaining. Otherwise it's mindnumbingly easy.

[@Tillyard86]

I've never understood why the movies and games always depict booms with foot rests. The book does not mention them, and I think they would massively slow you down.

[@Elbow1878]

It would be way more comfy for gents with foot rests. Let’s leave it at that 😂.

[@Tillyard86]

@@Elbow1878 they would slow you down though.

[@Elbow1878]

@@Tillyard86 they’re magic brooms. I’m sure they could figure it out.

[@Tillyard86]

@@Elbow1878 hense why I'm puzzled about the foot rests.

[@Tillyard86]

@@Elbow1878 Which is exactly why the footrests don't make much sense to me.

[@Ryan48219]

This isn't complete! It may be impossible to get them, but the Harry Potter website had quidditch games in Java/flash. I burned many hours on them as a bored kid. Could be lost media now

[@FaZaFurhod]

didn't Harry Potter Kinect also have Quidditch?

[@Severus.S]

Wonderful video

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@cainhenry4993]

The biggest flaw of quidditch is making the snitch worth 150 points. Should only be worth 50

[@plunktone4162]

Exactly, there are a lot of videos telling that this game is broken in many aspects however it is only this one.

[@TheAuthor4911]

In quidditch champions it will be 30
