    Its addicting and fun, but I lost interest of it two days after I bought the game, it got so pointless with nothing great happening with no storyline but playing Quiditch and winning.

    An amazing game, truly one of the best I've ever played, for Potter fantics and haters alike.

    The stadiums and team outfits look good. Also, it's very fun passing and stealing every two seconds but it could be more difficult. The computer does not play very well. The fact that you have to wait to do so well before you can play as beaters or the seeker makes it slightly dissappointing, but not as dissappointing as not being able to be the keeper at all.

    With its own fun version of playing Quidditch, now dedicated to its own whole game, and the fun World building of the international Wizarding world, this is the first console Harry Potter game that I actually do believe achieved what it set out to do, if you can endure the sheer repetitive nature of playing match after match with no change in strategy.

    If ever you could make an EA sports game from Quidditch, this is it. I don't have too much complaints about the game as a whole except for a few mechanical changes that could've made the actual gameplay a bit more complex and rewarding but considering the target audience, it's hard to be too critical.

    The game is simply just super fun through and through. It's got great gameplay as any of the 4 major Hogwarts house teams and once you get into the World Cup series with different countries, that's where the real fun begins.

    I would've liked to see a more fleshed-out experience with power-ups, stats, and other extra features but again, with the target audience in mind, it's hard to be too critical.

    I honestly think this is one of the best Harry Potter video games available and totally worth playing. It's especially great for kids of course but it really is just super fun.    … Expand

    The highest compliment we can give EA's portrayal of JK Rowling's magic-infused faux sport is that it's so much fun (for fans and nonfans alike) that it makes us wish Quidditch were actually real.

    An extremely large turkey. And one that any Potter fan would do well to avoid, even if it means waiting a tad longer for the next "proper" game to follow Chamber of Secrets.

    Some of the game's intricacies are a tad complex, but it's easy to understand the basics. [Jan 2004, p.159]
