“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” Features a Nod to the PS1 Hagrid Meme

The upcoming Harry Potter game Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is set to be released on September 3, and a fun reference to Hagrid from the PlayStation 1 game has been revealed.

The Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone game on the original PlayStation came out in 2001, and in more recent years, Hagrid’s low-resolution, half-2D, half-3D, slightly worried-looking face has become the subject of many a meme. Some may know the meme as “Haggord,” while others might say they “feel like PlayStation 1 Hagrid” to refer to the fact that they’re not feeling quite right. 

Now, Wizarding World Digital has revealed that the iconic Hagrid meme is returning in Quidditch Champions as a paper mask that users’ in-game characters can wear.

The Physical Deluxe Edition will become available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One on November 8.
