Iggy here:

*chuckle* Select "Hogwarts" on the intro menu and select a house team.
>From there, you can do training sessions.  The training is the same for
each house, and you can repeat the sessions... but if you want to
collect all the trading cards, you'll need to beat the records for each
different house team.

As for my progress... well...

I've already led both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor to the Hogwarts House
Cup...

And as of today, the US team has won the Quidditch World Cup on the
"Nimbus 2000" skill level, beating the Bulgarian Team in the final
match.  (There are 18 matches in the World Cup contest.)  They keep a
tally of the total points earned by all the teams, and that's what
determines who wins the cup.  

*grin* The US team was 2100 total points ahead of the 2nd place team...
Bulgaria.

Apparently I was born to be a Chaser.  At least, on the video game...
especially since the only time any team scored more than 40 points
against me at all, was when they caught the Snitch.  Bulgaria was the
only one to do that, having Victor Crum (who is next to impossible to
beat and caught the Snitch every time), and I still won both times I
played them.  The first was 170 to 160, and the second (and 18th match
in the series) was 390 to 180.

It's definitely got replay value, since there's the 4 house teams,
differing levels of house and team records for each, and 9 different
teams to play at the World Cup level.  Not to mention all the things you
unlock, like special moves and such, by fulfilling special conditions or
collecting cards.

Iggy gives it 4.5 out of 5 stars.  (the .5pt downgrade is because there
are times when the sound quality is a little low... but it's still
decent as a rule.)

BTW: Did anyone else get the game for Christmas?
