Being a Seeker in Harry Potter Quidditch Champions is one of the toughest roles to master, and it is definitely rewarding to invest your time learning the craft of seeking the Golden Snitch.
Harry Potter Quidditch Champions features a variety of roles, and Seeker is arguably one of the most popular positions that can directly affect the scorecard of the match. While the role’s influence isn’t quite like the Harry Potter books and films—it doesn’t give the team 150 points and instantly make them win the match for gameplay balance—it does give you 30 points, which is more than enough to swing the tides of a losing match or solidify your lead.
The Golden Snitch appears more than once in the match, giving you multiple shots at getting more points. Here’s everything you need to know to snatch the Golden Snitch every time and help your team win more matches.

To understand the Seeker’s Role in Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, we have to break down the position into two parts:
1) Scouting
The Seeker isn’t a permanent role, and they only come into play when the Golden Snitch is out. There is no fixed timing for this happening, but when the Snitch is out, both teams get a notification letting them know about it. When this happens, you can switch to the Seeker role by pressing R on your keyboard and selecting two to bring up your team’s Seeker.Â
Once you’re the Seeker, you have to look for the Golden Snitch. It’s usually tough to find it in the midst of chaotic matches, but this is where your eagle-eyed attention to detail comes in as you locate the elusive flying ball. You can also listen for the fluttering audio cue which means the Golden Snitch is nearby. As you and the opposing Seeker look for the Golden Snitch during the match, one of you is bound to find it eventually, kicking off the chase and alerting the other team.

2) Chase
As the chase begins, the Golden Snitch should be marked on your screen and you can follow its trail. Your goal is to stick close to the Golden Snitch and never let it out of your sight despite its erratic movement. You can also use drift with right click to make quick turns at the end of the pitch, keeping your eyes glued to the prize. As the Snitch tries to juke and move away from you, it will also leave Golden Snitch rings along its path which you can pass through to fill your boost energy.
Maintain your high speed by boosting to catch up to the Snitch. It is not mandatory to collect all the rings; your main goal is to stick to the Snitch, so you can skip a few rings to take a shortcut and get closer. You should only go for the rings when your boost is low, or it’ll slow your chase down.Â
As you press F to focus your energy on chasing the Golden Snitch, you can track the other team’s Seeker’s progress towards the Snitch on top of your screen, under the scorecard. You can also spot the yellow semi-circle on the Golden Snitch which denotes the progress meter, which you need to fill to catch it.
Once you fill up the meter, it should turn blue. Get close to the Golden Snitch at this point and press left click whenever the option pops up to catch it. It only shows up for a short time, so make sure to use your quick reflexes and grab it to earn 30 points.

A Seeker also needs to evade the enemy beaters who will be looking to slow your perfect chasing by hitting you with a Bludger, so make sure to press the Space bar when you see an alert pop up on your screen. If you keep getting hit, you will be knocked off your broom, which will jeopardize your chances of securing the Snitch before the enemy.
If an enemy chaser gets too close to you, you can make a risky move, bumping them by pressing E and pointing your cursor in their direction to slow them down and increase your chances of closing in on the Golden Snitch. If you miss your bump, you’ll lose your momentum, so you won’t be able to use it at critical moments to get a lead in your chase.
