On the surface we’re Games and Sports, but beneath that we are a Department that brings people together through enjoyment, excitement, and entertainment. We’re also a Department that strives to help young talent chase their dreams, whether it is Quidditch, Duelling, Rounders, or even Gobstones!
The Department of Magical Games and Sports oversees a number of professional teams, but also the planning, execution, and running of major Wixen events, and sometimes even the creation of some new ones. Our events include the British and Irish Quidditch League Cup, European Quidditch Cup, Quidditch World Cup, and of course the Tri-Wizard Tournament – though in collaboration, of course. We even have a dedicated office for Ludicrous Patents, if that is more your style and speed.
If being in the spotlight is not your thing, if being the one who gets the snitch is not your goal (or Quidditch Hoop!!), there are still plenty of positions behind the scenes that are just as important as those that are front and centre.
As a Summer Work Experience student this summer, you will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the greatest players of our time, such as Oli Habib, former professional beater for Wimborne Wasps, and now the voice of both the Euro and World Cups, Pip Hawtrey, former England Quidditch Player for the 2026 world cup, Derrek Hawtrey, Champion Winged Horse Racer. And not to mention all of the players of the 32-33 Quidditch season! Given upcoming events, students can also look forward to free travel, including room and board, and VIP tickets. It’s the summer to be in Games & Sports!
