    A great leap forward for the Potter franchise, and a fun and inclusive gaming experience. [Jan 2006, p.107]

    Series fans will find a lot to love in this title, which offers an attractive, immersive, and most importantly, fun excursion into the world of J.K. Rowling's imaginative works.

    While it could have had more movie/book elements tied into the gaming experience, the existing game is fun enough.

    Nothing more than a bunch of minigames that suffer from an awkward camera system. [Dec 2005]

    In the end, GoF is an action game aimed specifically at younger players. There's simply not enough diversity to keep a more seasoned gamer entertained for long periods of time.

    Somewhat annoyingly, the game often requires you to tackle each level a multiple number of times in order to collect items such as shields before the next area is unlocked.

    An unbelievably lazy title that just feels cheap. It has poor gameplay that the target audience will just fall asleep at, which only adds to the infuriating realisation that it will still sell thanks to the lightning scarred teen's name.

    Pretty good game, goes towards the book more than the movie did. Recommended!

    Juego mejorable en muchos sentidos, aún así lo recomiendo para los fans de la saga, ya que no deja de ser una buena experiencia.

    Wow....just wow....I am a really big Harry Potter fan and have bought all the games for the Gamecube so far. But this one I thought would be Wow....just wow....I am a really big Harry Potter fan and have bought all the games for the Gamecube so far. But this one I thought would be wicked after seeing all the pictures posted and everything! Boy was I wrong. This game is seriously the worst one out. It took me maybe 2 hours to beat it....AND you can't explore any of the castle, classrooms, etc like you could in the previous Potter adventures. Goblet is just a "select-the-next-mission" mode type thing, and you can't go on to the next level without doing the same level OVER at least 4 times! It's just so repetitive. I took it back as soon as I beat it..... Sorry Harry...i've betrayed your game.… Expand

    Goblet of Fire was one of my favorite Harry Potter films and the Triwizard tournament would translate brilliantly into a game, on paper thatGoblet of Fire was one of my favorite Harry Potter films and the Triwizard tournament would translate brilliantly into a game, on paper that is.

    I felt like this game was a drag and lazy throughout its level design with uninspired puzzles and minimal engagement throughout. Worst of all, however, was the mechanics. Orienting yourself with the camera physically hurt and getting your character's movement and spells right was honestly a matter of a coin toss. The mechanical experience of the game was just unbearable to me.

    There were some great ideas in the game and I didn't see too much of a performance dip unless lots of visual action was happening but the game overall is just a bland and awful experience. It's not worth the money and it's not worth any time.    … Expand
