* CosmeticallyDifferentSides: Aside from the cosmetic differences between the teams and the fact that the Hogwarts teams obviously cannot play alongside the international professional teams, there's virtually almost no difference between any of them gameplay-wise (outside of the Team Special Moves that are unique to each team), meaning that you can play a Hogwarts team with skills that rival those of world-class professional teams without any issue.

* FinalBoss: Bulgaria in the World Cup series is intended to be one if you weren't playing as them, as you will ''always'' play at their home stadium last in each World Cup season (though you do face the Bulgaria team one time on your home turf). They're dressed in all red and black costumes with a Team Special move that's comparatively more aggressive than other teams, not to mention that you're facing off against Viktor Krum himself, who's FamedInStory as the greatest seeker in the world. Lastly, Bulgaria is the only international team that needs to be unlocked, as opposed to other teams that are already unlocked beforehand.

More prominent is Edgar Cloggs, a ghost on the Hogwarts pitch who serves as the player's training partner; unlike canon ghosts, he can handle physical objects just fine.

Added Rubber-Band AI entry. Note: This happened once on the Game Cube version, don't remember the difficulty.
Added DiffLines:
* RubberBandAI: If you dominate the other team to the point where when the Snitch-catching starts, they have little to no Snitch/boost bar, there's at least a chance for the opposing Seeker to come out of nowhere and take the Snitch JUST before you can.

* EndlessGame: In a way, the game can be this. You cannot end the game until you catch the Snitch, and you cannot catch the Snitch until the Snitch bar at the top of the screen meets, which progresses according to how many times you pass the Quaffle. So if you play without passing, it can take forever to ever get to the Snitch-catching itself. And when you get a Bludger or Team Special Move, you can significantly ''reverse'' the progress of the Snitch bar…
