Quidditch Champions Makes One Essential Change To Golden Snitch Rules

screenrant.com:

is finally adapting the beloved titular sport for a modern audience, the first Quidditch-focused game since on the Gamecube. Players around the world will be able to take to the skies on their brooms as Beaters, Keepers, Seekers, and Chasers. However, while the rules of Quidditch have been kept mostly intact for, there have been a few alterations.

Quidditch Champions released on September 3, 2024 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

Instead of 150 points, players will only get 30 points for catching the Snitch, and it also won't end the game. Instead, the match will resume, with the end goal being to either have the most points or be the first team to reach 100.

It's a big change, one that will likely upset some fans as it is so different from the books. However, the change exists for a good reason, as catching the Golden Snitch in the universe versus catching it in the game is very different. Unlike the Seekers in the books and films, who must chase after an almost imperceptible flying ball that's traveling at great speeds, those incan see and catch the Snitch far easier.

The Golden Snitch in the Harry Potter universe also has the ability to leave the stadium and go pretty far away, taking Seekers away from the main action, which
