Quidditch Champions | Pre-order

2024 has given us a lot of iconic sports moments: but it’s not the Olympics or the Euros we’re getting excited about here. We’re gearing up for the launch of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions this September, a new game available on all good consoles which gives you the opportunity to live out your Quidditch fantasy through a series of matches and contests. But beyond the game itself (which you can pre-order here) you can also pick up these fun Quidditch-themed goodies to get you in the flying mood.

Quidditch clothes | Harry Potter Shop

Yes, yes, we can’t actually join a Hogwarts Quidditch time and yes, we can’t fly. Stop reminding us! However, we can dress to impress our Quidditch-loving friends with these super-sporty pieces from the Harry Potter shop. The Hogwarts house-themed Quidditch jumpers are an absolute wardrobe staple.

Pack your trunks

There’s that old phrase: it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Of course, when it comes to Back to Hogwarts season, it’s about both!

Getting ready for Hogwarts is indulging in the art of preparation – what would you want to bring to Hogwarts? How would you pack your trunk? Do you remember organising the perfect pencil case for that first day of school?

Over at the Harry Potter shop, there are so many ways you can recreate the ‘getting ready’ vibes of the Hogwarts students – from spellbinding stationary to bewitching backpacks. You can accessorise your own Hogwarts trunk, if you’d like to too. There’s even a travel range to get excited about – for when you embark on your own journeys outside of Hogwarts.
