After playing some of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, my immediate reaction is that this feels like a trial run for the magical game's inclusion in the likely-upcoming sequel to Hogwarts Legacy. Sure, it probably didn't start out that way, with my money being on Warner Bros. Games separating out the experiences so they could sell two games to Harry Potter fans instead of just one. Because, you know, money. But following Hogwarts Legacy becoming the best selling game of 2023, I'm not sure a sequel can exist without the inclusion of Quidditch. Their union feels inevitable, as Quidditch would be such an obvious upsell for gamers.
However, if there is going to be Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy 2, then the experience offered in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is going to need some brushing up, as after playing it some I've been left feeling a bit overwhelmed by its fun-in-short-bursts but often bamboozling gameplay. Check out the video below to get a sample of how it plays in single player mode. I'll then list the things I like and dislike about the experience I've had so far.
