While little is known about the game, the competitive nature of the game has been stressed, and it appears that players will take on the role of one individual Quidditch player and thus have six teammates. Players will also be able to make their own character who can take on the role of Chaser, Beater, Keeper, or Seeker.
7Broom Customization
While the most recentHarry Pottergame,Hogwarts Legacy,has a fine selection of brooms, fans will be hoping for an even better selection of brooms inQuidditch Champions. Even better would be the option to customize brooms.
From the type of wood and the shape of the handle to the color of the seat and of course the style of the tail, there is plenty of potential for customization of brooms, and fans would love the opportunity to mix and match to create their dream broomstick.
6Team Creator
It has already been confirmed that players will be able to create and customize their own characters inQuidditch Champions, but hopefully, teams can be created as well. Many ofthe best sports gamesfeature the ability to create clubs and teams, with players able to design a badge and the kits, and sometimes more.

In an online setting, this could work similarly toFIFA’sPro Clubs Mode, where players create a team with their friends. Designing Quidditch robes would be a unique experience for all, and although unlikely, the ability to decorate a Quidditch stadium in your team’s colors would be incredible.
5Crossplay
Crossplay between gaming platformsis something that is becoming more and more common in this day and age, and asHarry Potterfans are united by their love for the wizarding world, not their platform of choice,Harry Potter: Quidditch Championscould really thrive with this feature.
As Quidditch teams are made up of seven players, friends looking to play as a complete team could really benefit from crossplay. Progression across platforms would also be a huge bonus for players who play on multiple different platforms.
4International And National League Quidditch Teams
From the short teaser and the name of the game, it appears that the Hogwarts House Quidditch teams will be playable inHarry Potter: Quidditch Champions, but hopefully many more teams will be available in some capacity. International teams in particular would be a great addition, allowing fans to play as the 1994 Quidditch World Cup finalists Ireland and Bulgaria, among many others.

National League Quidditch teams, such as Ron’s favorite team the Chudley Cannons from the British and Irish Quidditch League, would also be fantastic to see. Many of these teams get mentioned in the books andHogwarts Legacyplayers will have spotted posters for them plastered anywhere and everywhere in the game.Madam Kogawaalso mentions the Toyohashi Tengu, a team from Japan in her dialogue.
3Individual Ranks For The Different Positions
Seeing asQuidditch Championsis a competitive multiplayer game, players can almost certainly expect a ranked mode, even if it isn’t out at the start. Other than a good ladder system and quality matchmaking, players might also want individual ranks for the different Quidditch positions.
A similar feature has been successfully implemented inOverwatch 2’sRole Queue mode,allowing players to climbseparately as Tank, Damage, or Healer. With just how different the positions in Quidditch are, this could be even more important inQuidditch Champions.
2A Single Player Mode
WhileHarry Potter: Quidditch Championsis branded as acompetitive multiplayer gameand it has been stated that players will need an internet connection to play, hopefully, there is still room for some single-player elements.
Even if the single-player experience was just for training purposes, this could help massively for players who don’t feel comfortable jumping straight into online games. After all, the popularity of the franchise means thatHarry Pottergames normally attract non-gamers too. Moreover, single-player modes in sports games are some of the best as players take a team to glory against the odds.
1A Solution To The Golden Snitch Problem
One of the glaring issues with Quidditchis how most matches ultimately come down to whichever team’s Seeker catches the Golden Snitch, thus winning their team 150 points and ending the game. While this can work in a league context where teams gain the same amount of points in the league table as they achieved in a match, knockout tournaments, or individual games can feel bad for the rest of the team.
With this in mind, it is therefore imperative thatHarry Potter: Quidditch Championssolves this problem and makes the position of Seeker less impactful. This is especially true seeing as players will be taking on the roles of individual positions.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Championsis in development for PC and unspecified consoles.
