    Wasn't that good. It was kind annoying and boring. If you choose a character the others wont help you that much. I Just thought that there was too much magic and stuff.

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

    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 Wow....just wow....I am a really big Harry Potter fan and have bought all the games for the Gamecube so far.

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

    Terrible game, bad gameplay, no charm in the voice acting (except mad eye moody), tedious to collect shields, no real cutscenes, no unique spells, and only 8 levels I can beat it in 4 hrs. It’s boring not fun, and one of the worst games in the series, just like the movie it does understand it’s source material.

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

    Goblet 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

    Seasoned gamers will find very little of interest here, regardless of how massive a Harry Potter fan you are (personally I love the books and the films).

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

    The game changes a few of the things Harry fans have come to expect from the games, and though aimed at a younger audience, Harry fans will find a lot to like in the game.
