    I enjoyed roaming around, but started getting tired of the dungeon crawling pretty quickly.

    It tells a good story, and there's a lot to do within the confines of the Harry Potter universe. If you don't really care for the characters, you'll probably find the gameplay repetitive and dull, but then you'd have no reason to play the game anyway.

    While Potter fans will enjoy seeing Gilderoy Lockhart on their GBAs, uncompelling gameplay makes him just another pretty face.

When I revisited the game a few months ago to give it a complete playthrough, I remembered why I stopped playing the game after the first few levels.

    The mechanics are completely wrong for the gameboy's button layout, the levels and platforming were excruciating to get through and the tasks you're given as a player are simply not fun. If others have fun with the game that's great and I'm happy for them. I just didn't enjoy the game much.

    It's not all negative however, some maps had some visual variety that I thought was interesting and could've even improved the movie! That said, it wasn't nearly enough to justify buying the game again only to be disappointed and never want to play it again.    … Full Review »

I Its evenly better than the movie, I didn't have to profind the idea and excellence of the game, it is fantastic from begining to end. I can beat it many times and never get bored of it. As it should, it does flow with the film's and games, J.K. Rowling should be proud of this.… Full Review »
