    Extends parts of the original story (a training session in Ollivanders Wand Shop) and skips over others (the Sorting Hat ceremony). [Feb 2004, p.149]

    Think of it as Zelda-lite and you won't go far wrong.

    The puzzles and tasks get a little repetivite in this sequel, and the overall gameplay isn't quite as fun as before. The camera control is definitely worse, and can get quite irritating at times.
  4. Next Level Gaming

    Music and sounds are solid, but Harry Potters voice is like a cheese grater on the brain.
  5. IGN

    The story is the most dated, the art assets re-used, and gameplay mechanics re-used, and all with a serious hit in graphic quality, a truth that really disappoints.

    The game, with its remixed story line, random objectives, and Zelda-esque gameplay isn’t enough to keep newcomers to the series interested.
  7. Game Revolution

    Other than a couple isolated bits HP and the SS is a mess. And I didn’t play crap like this when I was a kid, at least not for long. I played Sonic. So there ya have it: Harry Potter is better than a Vomit flavored bean, but a little worse than Grass, and on a level with Booger.

    La jugabilidad de este juego se me atascó bastante, sobre todo en la pelea final. Es un poco peor que el siguiente de la saga en mi opinión.

Glitches, bugs, framerate flaws is there, but i played on Wii, so it was a lil better than playing OG GameCube game. I had some fun with that tho. It's kinda simple adventure-platformer with many problems, if you know enough about videogames. i will probably be exausted if i tried to count them all.… Expand

    This “2nd edition” of SS may be a collectors item for those wanting to keep as many of the Harry Potter console games on as few systems asThis “2nd edition” of SS may be a collectors item for those wanting to keep as many of the Harry Potter console games on as few systems as possible, but aside from all the reused assets from Chamber of Secrets, this game also comes with a nasty share of bad lighting, challenge design and open story holes, and the most ridiculous boss fights I've ever seen, to the point where I lacked the patience to even finish the final one. Fortunately, I planned ahead and collected all the wizard cards and lost students' items before going through the trap door, and we all know how the book ends anyway, so I don't think I missed anything of value. That actually leads into my favorite part of the game: the world exploration is pretty satisfying, being able to explore the whole of the Hogwarts shown in the first two movies.… Expand

The game is very poorly made with many of the fights feeling broken. The troll battles were atrocious with the games mechanics failing to work properly. I also ran into issues with the rooms glitching. There was also some odd stuff such as chocolate frogs not respawning after you die which would make boss battles even harder. Wasn’t sure if this was a design choice or a unnoticed error. Either way very dumb. Pretty much the only fun in this is exploring Hogwarts but the later games offer better exploration and the story isn’t told very well in this game… Expand

    Horrible. Failed attempt to enrich the Harry Potter engine. Horrible.
