We haven't had a standalone quidditch game since 2003, and off the back of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, it should have stayed that way.

Prices subject to change.When Hogwarts Legacy came out, one complaint that made the rounds was that you couldn’t play quidditch. As it turned out, the reason for the sport’s glaring omission was that a separate game was already in the works.
Flying is also fairly easy to get in the flow. It’s fast and fluid, and once you get the hang of drifting, you can make tight turns and manoeuvre confidently around the field. As you play, you’ll unlock new brooms that can be upgraded to be faster, stronger, and more agile, giving you even more of an edge in your matches.But while the premise of the game is decent, once you actually start digging down into it, there is very little actually there.
The gameplay is overly simplistic, and in an effort to remedy that, a few extra gameplay mechanics have been added. As a Keeper, you can place rings across the field that speed your players up and slow opponents down. You’ve got a Need for Speed-style nitrous boost for your broom and can drift to quickly change direction. Chasers have different types of passes which, because of the quality of the AI, drop to the ground as often as they reach their target.
The other positions are fun enough, but still rather uninspiring. After a few hours, most of the fun I got out of the game was sticking as a Beater and flinging bludgers at people because, to be fair to Quidditch Champions, knocking people off their broom is actually very funny.
