Warner Bros. Interactive President David Haddad also commented on the future of the Harry Potter gaming universe besides Hogwarts Legacy and its sequel, saying that the company would keep the momentum going with the release of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which would include elements from previous games. However, now that the title has been released, reviews indicate that players are split between loving it, and being on the fence about a few aspects.
