Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is a video game produced by EA Games that features the fictional sport of Quidditch from the Harry Potter universe. The user plays for the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup (competing between Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw) and then takes on the Quidditch World Cup (competing between the United States, England, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Spain, Australia and Bulgaria.) Its teams have drawn criticism mainly for its lack of Ireland who won against Bulgaria in the World Cup in the fourth book.[citation needed]

[edit] Hogwarts Rosters

Because the books have not named all of the members of the Hogwarts house teams, the video game has filled in the gaps as follows, circa Harry's 3rd year. Though these names are not considered canon, it is possible that J.K.Rowling provided them, as she has been known to participate in multimedia projects, such as the Harry Potter Trading Card Game. In any case, the rosters are as follows:

[edit] Gryffindor

Their team special move is called the Weasley Wangler. The twins hit a bludger side to side with Alicia Spinnet with the Quaffle, the passing and special move chasers try to defend the keeper, but they get scared, at last the keeper screams as he gets pelted by a bludger and Alicia scores. (10 points) (Also significantly reduces opponent's Snitch Bar)

[edit] Ravenclaw

  • Jeremy Stretton (Passing Chaser)
  • Roger Davies (Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
  • Randolph Burrow (Special Move Chaser)
  • Duncan Inglebee (Beater)
  • Jason Samuels (Beater)
  • Grant Page (Keeper)
  • Cho Chang (Seeker)

Ravenclaw's team special move, The Burdish of Raven, is the most offensively powerful of all the teams, at Hogwarts or elsewhere. First, the three chasers go up in the air, the passing and special move chasers gaze in awe as they loop and go down, as they pass, Roger Davies punches the special move chaser, Randolph Burrow kicks the passing chaser, leaving the way clear for Jeremy Stretton to shoot, then Randolph Burrow scores, then finally, Roger Davies scores. (30 points)

[edit] Hufflepuff

  • Malcolm Preece (Passing Chaser)
  • Heidi Macavoy (Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
  • Tamsin Applebee (Special Move Chaser)
  • Maxine O'Flaherty (Beater)
  • Anthony Rickett (Beater)
  • Herbert Fleet (Keeper)
  • Cedric Diggory (Seeker)

The Cedric Swoop'n'Swagger is quite a long move. First, they are in possession of the quaffle, when the passing and special move chasers from the other team are in hot pursuit of it. Preece fires the quaffle to Macavoy, avoiding the passing chaser, then Macavoy passes it to Applebee, who passes it to Macavoy who avoids the special move chaser, then she passes it to Preece who kinda does a ground shot which the force lifts it up into the air so it goes in a hoop, then Macavoy passes it to Applebee, then she scores. (20 points) (Minorly reduces opponent's Snitch Bar)

[edit] Slytherin

The Zeeburger Slither is very brutal. All the players, except Malfoy and Bletchley knock the opponent passing and special move chasers out of the way with the tackle and shoot chaser screaming, then they use cobbing on the keeper (no penalty), then Montague scores, Pucey kicks it to Flint, who scores it again. (20 points) (Slightly reduces opponent's Snitch Bar)

The USA has a basketball style TSM, the Dinkytrov. First, Fidelei spins it on his finger, then passes the quaffle on to Greene, who dribbles it on his broomstick for a bit, who then throws it to Monts who does a "keep the quaffle on your back" trick, then she throws it to Fidelei, who throws it to Greene, then Greene does an astounding trick, which scores, then Monts does a normal score.

England has a TSM called the Rantree counter. Forrester, Hawksworth, and Fliknee do a dive and out of the back of their brooms flows red, white, and blue, signifying the flag of the United Kingdom. They knock two opposing players off their brooms and while he is distracting the opponent beaters, Fliknee passes to Hawksworth, who kicks the quaffle around for a bit.

  • ? Weiss (Male) (Seeker)

The German's Team Special Move is mostly strength, and a bit of strategy. Dotte kicks it really hard to Brink, who weaves in and out of the opponents, then she throws to Dotte, who does a roaring gesture who sends it to Grants, then Brink kicks it, then Dotte gracefully flies then brutally headbutts in then the Germans boast a bit.

Probably the most noticeable thing about the French National Quidditch team is that it's mostly comprised of women. They play in pale blue robes on white brooms. Their team Special Move, the Blitzen Ballet, is beautiful and has spinning. First, Moran and Mallond pass the quaffle, then Mullet swings across to LaFarge's broom then Mallond passes it to Moran who scores while leaving the keeper gaping.
