Harry Potter - Quidditch, Sorcerer's Stone?

Thanks to two different readers for submitting Harry Potter game-related stories. On the one hand, a recent IGN Cube interview talks with EA about Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, an interesting sports game concept if ever there was one. According to EA, "..there's a progress from Hogwarts to working your way up a World Cup ladder. I can confirm that Viktor Krum (who appears in book 4) is in the game--which is appropriate since he's the 'Michael Jordan' of Quidditch in a sense." On the other hand, the ever rumor-spreading C+VG site are claiming that next-gen versions of Harry Potter And The Sorceror's Stone are scheduled for later in 2003, based on a leaked release schedule, since there has only a Playstation 1 console version of the first movie/book so far - this is far from confirmed, however.

I can't believe they're making this. by Tediak · 2003-06-25 11:43 · Score: 4, Interesting

The rules for Quidditch are so insane. Essentially, almost all the time, the seeker is the one who wins the game. 150 points for one individuals accomplishments, it might work in fiction with a protagonist, but it's horrid for an actual game.
