Story
EA's got the license to Harry Potter and they're gonna squeeze everything out of it. Recently, quitdditch has been release. If there is one thing good about Harry Potter, its quidditch. Maybe thats why one of the Harry Potter games is good.
You start off at Hogwarts playing in the Quidditch Cup as one of the four house. Once you complete that, you go international and play as quidditch teams from around the globe like the US and England. Here, as the title says, you go for the Quidditch World cup as one of these teams.
Although quidditch is complex, the game is easy to understand.

Graphics
Average. Yes everything is colorful and in 3-D, but it is just a bit off.
First, the good. The game is detailed and colorful. Everything is in 3-D and absoulutly nothing is a cardboard cut-out. Most movement is realistic.
On the bad side, players sometimes end up moving awkwardly. Nobody really looks like their character counterparts. The mouths are off completely off. For an American game, there is no excuse for this.

Music / Sound
Music is strange. From the moment you turn on the game its weird. It feels more like your going to the opera than playing quidditch. And why does there need to be a choir? Its not bad, just strange. All the other music in the game is just a variation of this.
Sounds are different too. Voice actting isn't that good. In fact, sometimes, when a girl is talking, there is a male voice or visa versa. Bludger hits sound pretty good, wizard collisions are off. The crowd sounds nice and so does the snitch. About average for a game.

GamePlay
Tutorials help to explain the somewhat awkward controls to play quidditch. There are combo and special moves you can do but there isn't much point to them. Sometimes special moves have you punch people and that is illegal. Scoring is fun and easy and so is passing. hitting people with a bludger is also a plus. THe snitch chase is like passing, scoring, and beating. FUN. THe game starts off way too easy though. Hogwarts players are terrible. Luckily, it gets harder at the international event.
For Harry Potter fans, get this one. If your looking for game to keep busy, also take a look. THis a good sports title that will leave sports and Harry fans coming back for more.
