Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Set in the magical Harry Potter universe, this game combines the high-speed action of ice hockey with the team dynamics of soccer and basketball, played entirely on flying broomsticks. Players join one of the four Hogwarts houses to compete in matches, collecting Quidditch Cards and unlocking special moves while striving to win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup. The journey culminates in qualifying for the prestigious Quidditch World Cup, where players can support their chosen teams in a final magical showdown.
Story
Welcome
Welcome to the magical world of Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. Quidditch is an incredibly exciting, high-speed broomstick-based game. It is a sport that has been enjoyed by witches and wizards alike since its eleventh-century beginnings on Queerditch Marsh in England.
Quidditch can be described as a cross between the non-magical sports of soccer and basketball, with the speed and maneuvering skills of ice hockey. It contains all the excitement, teamwork, and individual flair of those games, but is played on flying broomsticks!
If you excel in playing Quidditch at Hogwarts, you could win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup and an opportunity to attend this year's hotly anticipated Quidditch World Cup. Along the way, you'll collect Quidditch Cards and perhaps pick up some of the most awe-inspiring Special Moves ever made on a broomstick.

How to Play
Starting the Game
1. Turn OFF the power switch on your Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance. Never insert or remove a Game Pak when the power is ON.
2. Insert the Harry Potter™: Quidditch™ World Cup Game Pak into the slot on the Game Boy Advance. To lock the Game Pak in place, press firmly.
3. Turn ON the power switch. The logo screens appear, followed by the Language Selection screen.
4. Press the + Control Pad ↑↓ to highlight a language and then press the A Button to confirm.
5. Press START at the Quidditch World Cup shield to go to the Saved Data Menu.
6. Press the + Control Pad ↑↓ to highlight an EMPTY SLOT and then press the A Button to go to the Main Menu.
NOTE: This Game Pak will work only with the Game Boy® Advance Video Game System.
The Golden Snitch
The Golden Snitch is a walnut-sized 'ball' with wings. Charmed to evade capture for as long as possible, it is the fastest and nimblest of Quidditch balls. It is also the hardest to spot.
It is the Seeker's role to search constantly for the Golden Snitch, while avoiding the charges of opposing players and the ever-present threat of a game-stopping (or even life-threatening) Bludger strike.
When the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch, the game ends and the Snitch-catching team is awarded one hundred and fifty points. This may or may not be enough to secure a victory, as some mathematically challenged Seekers have found to their cost!
The Players
There are two teams of seven players in a regulation Quidditch match, made up as follows:
•
Three Chasers
•
Two Beaters
•
One Seeker
•
One Keeper

Tips & Maps
The Quaffle
The Quaffle is used by both sets of Chasers to score goals in the opposing team's scoring area; if a Chaser gets the Quaffle through the hoop of the goalpost, his or her team scores ten points.
The Bludgers
Regulation Bludgers are fashioned out of iron and fly headlong at the closest player; it is the Beaters' job to beat the Bludgers away from their teammates, and beating them toward the opposing team's Chasers can be a game-winning tactic.
Go to Hogwarts
Begin your studies in the favorite sport of witches and wizards with Training Challenges, move on to Practice Games to hone your skills, and finally take on other houses for the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup.
Challenges
Take the Challenges to improve your Quidditch skills and win Quidditch Cards; there are three levels (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) that must be passed sequentially, each bringing extra cards.
Passing
Learn the basic skill of passing the Quaffle to another teammate by practicing throwing the Quaffle through the tubes in this timed Challenge.
Tackling
Practice tackling and dodging by tackling Edgar Clogs, dodging him to keep the Quaffle, and then returning the Quaffle to the Ball Box to finish the Challenge.
Shooting
Tune your shooting skills against Madam Hooch in this exercise, as every goal counts for ten points.
Beaters
Practice calling in the Beater to beat Bludgers away from teammates so a Chaser can make it across the lake within the time limit.
Seeker
Master catching the Golden Snitch, which ends the game; for more details, refer to the section on the Race for the Golden Snitch.
Quidditch Cards
Select QUIDDITCH CARDS from the Main Menu to check out the Quidditch Cards you've won so far or to trade them with a friend.
View Quidditch Cards
Select VIEW QUIDDITCH CARDS from the menu, press the + Control Pad to select a card and A to view it full size, then press B to return to the Main Menu.
Trading Cards
Trade Quidditch Cards with a friend on another Game Boy Advance or Nintendo GameCube by connecting the systems with the appropriate cable and exchanging cards through the menu.
The Seekers
The modern game has three Seekers per team who must be alert and strong, passing the Souafle while avoiding tackles and Cognard attacks, with the primary objective of passing the Souafle through one of the three hoops in the opposing team's goal area for 10 points.
The Chasers
The bat-carrying Chasers represent the main defense by hitting Cognards away from their teammates, especially the Seekers, and launching Cognard attacks against the opposing Seeker, but they do not score goals or take possession of the Souafle.
In search of the Golden Vitality
The best way to win is to catch the Golden Vitality if your team has scored enough goals; this requires obtaining a more full power indicator than your opponent's, as maneuvers like passes add power while special shots and tackles drain energy.
Halves of Golden Vitality
The power indicator in the upper part of the screen shows two halves of Golden Vitality getting closer, with colored sections indicating the amount of power each team has.
Card Exchange
Exchange Quidditch cards with a friend on a Game Boy Advance or Nintendo GameCube by connecting the devices, selecting EXCHANGE CARDS, choosing the card, and accepting or declining the offer.
Enemies & Characters
Chaser
One of three players per team responsible for passing the Quaffle, avoiding tackles, and scoring goals by throwing the Quaffle through the opposing team's hoops.
Beater
Two players per team who wield bats to deflect Bludgers away from teammates and launch attacks against opposing players, particularly Chasers.
Seeker
The fastest and most nimble player who searches for and catches the Golden Snitch to earn 150 points for their team, often attracting aggressive opposition.
Keeper
A player who defends their team's goalposts by stopping the Quaffle from passing through the hoops and may counter-attack by returning loose Quaffles.
Items & Weapons
The Balls
The modern game of Quidditch uses four balls.
The Quaffle
The Quaffle is used by the two groups of Chasers to score goals in the opposing team's goal area, similar to a soccer ball; if a Chaser succeeds in passing the Quaffle through the hoop, their team gains 10 points.
The Bludgers
Originally formed of enchanted flying rocks, Bludgers are now made of iron and are 10 inches in diameter; they are fast-moving objects that pursue any player on the field and are driven away by Beaters equipped with bats.
