Location[]
The Golden Snitch on Playstation Home
The Golden Snitch moves around on the screen. It has a set pattern and pauses regularly, allowing the player to catch it. This can be made easier by turning the quality settings to 'low'.
On Pottermore at Playstation Home, a Golden Snitch can be seen outside of Quality Quidditch Supplies.
Use[]
The only use of the Golden Snitch is moving on to the next moment in the story. Besides that, it currently has no other known use on Pottermore.
