Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions lets players create their own professional Quidditch player and join one of the many in-universe teams and play in positions like seeker, beater, chaser, or keeper. The game features a solo career mode, exhibition matches, and online multiplayer matches for teams of up to three players. Think Madden or EA Sports FS but for Quidditch.

As with all Harry Potter-related media, Quidditch Champions has received criticism due to its connections with the franchise’s creator, JK Rowling, whose transphobic statements and political activism have actively harmed the global trans community. While Rowling did not directly contribute to Quidditch Champions, she benefits monetarily from sales for the game. In 2022, US Quidditch and Major League Quidditch–real sports leagues inspired by the fictional game–rebranded to Quadball in response to Rowling’s transphobic statements. For more on this topic, we recommend reading GameSpot’s detailed explainer on Rowling’s history of making transphobic remarks as well as our roundup of charities that assist the trans community.
