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, Dueling, 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 ones such as 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, 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 be shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest players of our time, such as Oli Habib, former professional beater and now the voice of both the Euro and World Cups. Even Derrek Hawtrey, Champion Winged Horse Racer. Not to mention all of the finalists of the 32-33 Quidditch season.
With 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!
