    Too short, too annoying, too frustrating and repetitive. Strictly for fans of the books and movies.

    The game is quite short at roughly 2-3 hours long but I don't expect much more than that. As a massive Harry Potter fan I feel quite let down as the game doesn't follow the story and misses out massive bits and changes other parts.

    While visually and aurally sound, and at times impressive, Harry Potter's GBA debut is neither innovative nor particularly compelling from a gameplay perspective.

    Fans looking for a quick ride through the events of teh book and movie will be pleased with Potter GBA, because that's all it is. [Feb 2002, p.172]

    Pottermaniacs will love exploring even a 2D version of Hogwarts, but be prepared for challenging and sometimes frustrating gameplay.
