Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
  • Messages:

    Unlike many sports games there is no taunting, and players shake hands after the game.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness :

    Some of the special moves and tackles are somewhat violent, i.e. kicking players or knocking them off brooms.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Minor, doesn't seem to be selling the book or movie, but designed to appeal to fans.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup

Parents need to know that there is little of concern in this game. Some of the special Quidditch moves, like tackling and using bludgers (balls that knock other players off their brooms), are somewhat violent. This title is best for younger players because the game lacks some complexity.

    How good is this game really?

    this game makes you really want to play ti. So then, you buy it, or get it from netflix or something. So you get it, and start playing it. Then, you get to the end of the game and all is going fine, and there is a challenge to pass that human beings are not capable of passing. So then you try again and again, and get really frustrated, and decide to just quit the game after you have been working really hard to get to the end for a long time.

    Not for teens but has an exciting plot and the game is fun.

    Harry Potter Quidditch cup is fun but a bit to easy. It may get boring.
