  7. A Cry for Quidditch “Take the videogame versions Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They tell you the story is about Harry Potter.  They are not called Harry Potter's Fantastic Quidditch Match or Quidditch for the Harry Potter Fan.  There is a very good reason for this.  The Quidditch in both the PC version and the Playstation version is similar in scope to the Quidditch at the WB site -- underwhelming.  While some of the screen shots might give you the impression you're going to be playing Quidditch in a fully-realized 3D environment, please allow me to disillusion you (in the formal sense of the word).  The Quidditch here has you chasing the Snitch along a trail while avoiding obstacles (sound like the WB version?).  That's it.”  (From http://www.quidditch.com/game_preorders.htm)
