    What I liked best about the game was the ease of play. You didn’t have to fumble through spells to see what works. If a spell could be cast, the appropriate spell would be used automatically.

    The PC game does little to replicate the depth of the rich, magical yarn that is woven throughout the Harry Potter series.

    A slightly ropy control system, and disappointing length let us down on what is otherwise a truly enjoyable experience. Flipendo!

    The video game falls short of the quality Potter fans expect, and provides nothing more than a simple platform/adventure game that young fans will adore, but older fans will feel disappointed with.

    The game runs poorly on just about any machine.

    It also seems to me that most of the budget for the game went into licensing. I can't see that a lot of effort was actually spent on the production of the game side of things.

    Underwhelms with an extremely brief story, overly simplistic platform jumping sequences, and repetitive gameplay...Suitable only for children.

    I don't know what's up with the low ratings- this game is a good game. Obviously it's a Harry Potter game and you know what you're getting:I don't know what's up with the low ratings- this game is a good game. Obviously it's a Harry Potter game and you know what you're getting: it's not going to be especially difficult or challenging, but this one is challenging enough (mostly the last level vs. Voldemort, which is ridiculously tough to beat). Great mood, soundtrack, passable voice acting, and levels that are a lot of fun = 10/10.… Expand

Finally, we got our chance to visit Hogwarts ourselves and learn magic just like Harry himself! We got the chance to become friends with Hermione, Ron, and other students in Harry's year and that was really magical. This game has a great music soundtrack, Hogwarts is simple but fun to explore. Overall a fun game! The spell system on how to cast the spells is very outdated and can become a bit boring to play with in the long run.… Expand

    This is an easy but interesting game. The time put into the actual game seems not to be had but the scenery and setting are quite interesting.
