Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions includes various Easter eggs for fans of the franchise to find, including the infamous low-res Hagrid model that’s reached meme status.
Following the release ofHogwarts Legacy, a game that was criticized for not including Quidditch, Harry Potter fans are getting a game dedicated to the sport. Quidditch Champions will allow players to take to the skies asbeloved characters like Harry, Ron, and Dracoto compete in single and multiplayer modes.
Ahead of launch, theWizarding World websitehas shared information on the game’s Easter eggs, one of which is a paper mask that allows players to resemble the hilariously poor quality Hagrid model from the PlayStation 1 days.
“If you’ve been on the internet in the last few years, you will have seen this iconic Hagrid image pop in meme form. Now it is back!” explains the post. “Yes, in what could be considered the ultimate Easter egg, players will be able to use a paper mask in game which takes the form of Hagrid’s gloriously low-res visage! We’re getting all nostalgic just thinking about it.”
That game gave the beloved Hogwarts groundskeeper an odd and hilariously unsettling appearance, which some likened to that of a blobfish. This has led many online to jokingly refer to this iteration of the character as “Haggord.”
PS1 Hagrid isn’t the only Easter egg Harry Potter fans can look forward to in the upcoming game. The same post also reveals that Quidditch Champions includes Harry’s unconventional first Golden Snitch catch and the famous moment when he says “Up” for the first time to lift a broom.
