Harry Potter fans warned they've 1 week to claim free PlayStation download

If you want to live your best wizarding life, there’s an expiration date on that dream. At least when it comes to this specific PlayStation download.

Obviously, you can enrol at Hogwarts as often as you like in Hogwarts Legacy or by re-reading the Harry Potter books.

However, for this particular offering, there’s a time limit ticking away in the background.

PlayStation users can claim a rare collectable by completing one simple task via the ‘Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Challenge’ on PlayStation Stars.

Considering how much disdain is aimed at PS Stars, we appreciate you might already be tempted to stop reading.

But even if I’m now essentially shouting to an empty room, I must continue, for there may be some witches and wizards eager to bag themselves a rare digital item.

All's fair in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, am I right?

What is more, this is one of those rare campaigns where you don’t need to purchase the game to unlock this freebie.

All you need to do is “beat the Hogwarts Interhouse Cup” in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

If you’re worried you can’t claim this reward because you’ve already beaten this section of the game, fear not, for this campaign is still open to you.

According to PS Stars, “If you've already unlocked that trophy, simply activate this campaign and play any game on PS5 or PS4 to unlock the reward.”

Please aim your ire elsewhere and not at us if that isn’t accurate; we’re only the messenger here.

Now for the timeframe you have left: this campaign finishes on 8 February. That’s one week, folks.

Even if you decide to leave this campaign well alone, there’s still much to be excited about if you’re a Harry Potter fan.

For one thing, there’s the Hogwarts Legacy update that has fans gushing about the game and how “happy” they are.

There’s also a charming new release that long-time fans are excited about.

You see, even without the aforementioned collectable, fun can still be had.
