Where does the name Quidditch come from? - Hogwarts Legacy Guide

Article by Warren Woodhouse

The name Quidditch is invented by J.K. Rowling when she was staying in Manchester while writing the rules of the fictional game with her then boyfriend.

However, the name actually comes from an earlier Anglo-Saxon dialect word called cæwd-dych which means mud marsh. This word is attributed to the Quoditch Moor Nature Reserve in Ashwater, Devon, South West, England, United Kingdom.

Hogwarts Legacy Review (Game Reviews) (Reviews)

Review Date: 31st May 2023

Review By: Warren Woodhouse

Rating (10 being Good): 5/10

The game has an interestingly amazing opening introduction. The quests are fairly simple and enjoyable, even if slightly repetitive.

The graphics are mediocre and could be improved. Overall, it’s average. It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing game to look at, however with its environs and varied locations, the game stays interesting and intriguing.

The game has bugs and glitches and most of them are fine and a few of them make collecting collectibles or completing certain tasks a chore. The Customer Service experience that WB Games Support provides is uncomfortable and sour.
