Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is a 2003 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 (the "Nordic Team"), 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, which was released more than three years before the game.[citation needed]

[edit] Gameplay
[edit] Exhibition
This is when two people play each other. You can play House team vs. House team or World cup team vs. World cup team. You automatically get England's and USA's grounds at the beginning. For the other grounds you need to beat that team away in the world cup.
[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 around Harry's second 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,[citation needed] such as the Harry Potter Trading Card Game.
[edit] Previews
The video game featured two previews for other EA games. The previews were:
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- The making of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
