Quidditch

A fully playable sport where you train skills, buy equipment, and compete in matches. Flying broomsticks sold separately (but required).

What Is Quidditch in Hogwarts Live?

Quidditch is a fully implemented mini-game system where you can train six different skills, purchase equipment and broomsticks, choose a position (Chaser, Keeper, Beater, or Seeker), join a team (house teams or professional teams), and compete in matches to earn rewards, house points, and glory.

Unlike many game features that are just lore, Quidditch is actually playable. You'll spend gold and forest fights to train, buy better equipment to improve your performance, and compete in matches that are determined by your skills and equipment. It's a complete progression system with meaningful choices and rewards.

Getting Started

To start playing Quidditch, you need:

• At least 1 Voldemort Encounter (VE) — Minimum requirement to begin training
• Gold for training — 100 gold per training session (default)
• Forest fights for training — 1 forest fight per training session (default)
• A broomstick — Required to play matches (available from Equipment Shop)

Visit the Quidditch Department in any village to get started. You'll find options for training, equipment shopping, and playing matches.

Training Skills

Quidditch has six trainable skills that affect your performance in matches. Each skill can be trained by spending gold and forest fights. As you train, you gain experience points (XP) in that skill, and when you accumulate enough XP, your skill rank increases.

Training Levels

As you train your skills, you'll progress through training levels that unlock better equipment and opportunities:

• Novice — Starting level, basic training available
• Fan — 3 skills at rank 1+, unlocks Cleansweep 7 broom
• Amateur — 3 skills at rank 3+, unlocks Comet 260 broom
• Buff — 3 skills at rank 5+, unlocks Comet 290 broom, can play matches
• Pro — 3 skills at rank 10+, unlocks Cleansweep 11 broom, can join professional teams
• All-Star — All 6 skills at rank 10+, unlocks Firebolt broom

Equipment

Equipment improves your performance in matches. You can purchase broomsticks and protective gear from the Equipment Shop.

Broomsticks

Broomsticks are required to play matches and provide significant bonuses to your skills. Better brooms cost more but provide better bonuses:

• Bluebottle — 500 gold, +1 Quickness
• Silverarrow — 1000 gold + 2 gems, +2 Quickness
• Cleansweep 7 — 1500 gold + 5 gems (Fan level), +3 Quickness, +1 Style
• Comet 260 — 2000 gold + 5 gems (Amateur level), +3 Quickness, +2 Style
• Comet 290 — 2500 gold + 10 gems (Buff level), +4 Quickness, +2 Style

Protective Equipment

You can also purchase protective equipment that provides small bonuses:

• Goggles — Improves visibility and Alertness
• Gloves — Better grip, improves handling
• Boots — Better broom control
• Robes — Aerodynamic, improves speed

Positions

When you're ready to try out for a team, you'll choose a position. This choice is permanent, so choose wisely! Each position has different skill requirements and playstyles:

Teams

Once you've chosen a position, you can try out for a team. There are two types of teams:

House Teams

If you're sorted into a Hogwarts house, you can try out for your house team:

• Gryffindor — Known for bravery and reckless flying
• Hufflepuff — Known for teamwork and reliability
• Ravenclaw — Known for strategic play and clever tactics
• Slytherin — Known for ambition and winning at any cost

Winning matches for your house team earns house points (2-5 points per match, 3-15 points for tournament victories).

Professional Teams

Once you reach Pro training level (3 skills at rank 10+) and have at least 5 VEs, you can try out for professional teams:

• Chudley Cannons — "Let's just keep them under 300 points" (longest losing streak in the league)
• Holyhead Harpies — All-female team with a vicious approach to sexist opponents
• Puddlemere United — Most successful team in the league, very competitive
• Wimbourne Wasps — Known for aggressive play and yellow-and-black robes

Playing Matches

Once you have a broom, a position, a team, and at least Buff training level, you can play matches. Each match costs:

• Gold: Varies by match type
• Forest Fights: 2-5 per match (you need energy to fly around for an hour)

Match outcomes are determined by your skills, equipment, position, and a bit of luck. All positions have meaningful impact on the outcome — it's not just about the Seeker catching the Snitch. Chasers, Keepers, and Beaters all contribute to team scoring and Snitch catch probability.

Daily Tournament

Once per game day, you can participate in a Daily Tournament match for free (no gold cost, just forest fights). This is a great way to practice and earn rewards without spending gold.

Rewards

Playing Quidditch earns you:

• House Points — If you're on a house team, wins earn points for your house
• MVP Points — Track your performance across matches
• Experience — Skill XP to improve your abilities
• Glory — Bragging rights and leaderboard rankings
