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.
-
Controlling with a gamepad is so much easier to move and aim spells. I would go as far as saying that it is a must.

-
It's a worthwhile platforming experience for hardcore Potter fans, but some may be put off by all the collection quests and backtracking.
-
The game's not perfect. There are some camera issues. Some AI issues. And I really would have preferred to have more control over spells. But it still arrives as a solid entry to the series. Kids will probably like it a lot.
-
The linear nature of the gameplay ensures that you will be forced into the various scenes as the director and developer intended. The puzzles and mini-games are fun but they are like eating candy floss; there's not much nourishment.
-
It may have dumbed down the puzzles a bit, but what’s there is a solid lump of gameplay.
-
A solid action game, however for the discerning gamer it's not something that really stands up next to it's film and book namesakes.
-
A remarkably solid and substantial game. Certainly no one should be ashamed of owning it or giving it as a gift this yuletide.
-
Good for Potter addicts, but bad controls bog it down. [Jan 2005, p.103]
-
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.
-
The highlight is a brief but thrilling broomstick chase against a fire-breathing dragon. An underwater interlude is less successful, although it provides variety.
-
A mostly average button masher that has the good luck of being associated with the hottest kids' property to come along in years.
-
AceGamezSeasoned 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).
-
There is essentially nothing about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that is any fun at all. I know this sounds harsh, but in my professional opinion, there is no excuse for a company like EA to have done such an uninspired and lackluster job with this franchise title.
