How to make your own PS1 Hagrid cosplay, thanks to Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

As a veteran gamer who vividly remembers the days of the original PlayStation and the magical world it introduced me to through Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, I must say that Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has truly brought back nostalgic feelings with its throwback to the iconic PS1 Hagrid.


Previously, Hogwarts Legacy rekindled interest in video games based within the Wizarding World, while this week’s release of Quidditch Champions offers players a chance to immerse themselves in the sport that had been previously overlooked

And it’s also providing something else that wasn’t in Hogwarts Legacy. Or rather, someone.

The beloved character known for his large stature and greenhouse tending skills couldn’t have been present in the storyline of Legacy since it takes place prior to his birth. However, as Harry points out at the end of the Chamber of Secrets movie, “Hogwarts just isn’t Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.”

Besides the fact that Hagrid will be featured in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, it’s also worth noting that a particular iteration of him will reappear

23 years ago, the Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone video game made its debut on the original PlayStation, and Hagrid’s portrayal became a memorable part of gaming history

His low-res look might be dated, but meme culture celebrates these things.

And in response to the memes, Unbroken Studios is bringing PS1 Hagrid back.

This is both in the game itself, and as a printable cosplay… let’s take a closer look.

How to get PS1 Hagrid in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

If you’re not someone who enjoys dressing up as characters from movies or TV shows (or if you find it uncomfortable to go grocery shopping wearing a pixelated Hagrid mask), then there’s another way to express your fondness for the vintage groundskeeper in the game itself, since he is indeed one of the playable characters

So how do we unlock him?

As a movie buff eagerly anticipating the chance to play as PS1 Hagrid in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, I should let you know that there are no microtransactions involved. However, to unlock this character, you’ll need to progress through the game and level up – specifically, reach level 40 on the current season pass

The most effective method for earning XP is by accomplishing daily and weekly missions, a process that feels less like labor if you find the game enjoyable

We’ll see you on the field!
