    It sucks! Harry Potter is evil and nobody should read the book, watch the movie, or play the game! J.K. Rowling needs to go to church! So does anybody who likes it.

    This game isn't that good, but I still think it's ok. I'm just a kid, and I think it's very easy to complete. It took me exactly 6 hours and 23 minutes to finish it! That's short! But still, the graphics are awesome and the music is cool, too. I would recommend this game to kids between the ages of 4 - 12.

    This game is about jumping puzzles, timing puzzles, and exploration -- all very simple and not at all challenging.

    I’m confident that young kids will get a kick out of HP:SC, but everyone else is better off doing their adventuring elsewhere. [Feb 2002, p.68]
  3. 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.
