    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.

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.… Full Review »

    Let me start by saying that this IS A GOOD GAME, and is not indicative of even the same game but on a different platform (Game Cube version ofLet me start by saying that this IS A GOOD GAME, and is not indicative of even the same game but on a different platform (Game Cube version of this game goes down as one of my all-time favourite titles). Fun quests, great voice acting and of course the immersive world of Harry Potter but what went wrong? For starters, this game should only be played with a controller... Period. The save system is one of the worst to date. Forcing you to start back wherever the last in-game save point is located, meaning you are going to need to sit through every cut-scene again and again due to no option to skip them. Also, a pretty big bummer is EA never let this game out to digital platforms, so the only way to play is with an actual physical copy... or y'know... Doing the whole "pirate" shindig.
