    This is a good game but half the time you are waiting for it to load!!!! And you never get a chance to just wander aroungd Hogwarts!!! And the upgraded flipendo hardly makes any difference. I expected this game to be much better.

    A great game but there are some annoying setbacks which prevent it from getting a higher rating. (1) The instruction manual does not say how many points are needed to win the House Cup. Scoring 100% is not enough to win. In fact the manual is next to useless, walkthroughs on the net are much more informative. (2) Some of the secret passages I simply cannot find despite repeated attempts. A great game but there are some annoying setbacks which prevent it from getting a higher rating.

(3) The House Cup updates points tallies three times. Once the third phase starts you can go back to the Common Room and enter the photo album but there is no chance to access those rooms where you still need to find your missing wizard and witches cards. (4) Often when hitting a touch pad or similar objects the program resumes with Harry facing a different direction. (5) EA Games give out no hints on the game - but charge outrageous phone bills to call them ! … Expand

    I have always liked Harry potter I think the game is good though I think they could have added alittle more non-fiction stuff from the book.

    I think it's great and all but it's a bit too short. I got the game yesterday and I've finished it except I still got to get one of the cards.

    This has got to be the most mind bogglingly boring game I have ever had the displeasure of playing! Aside from the fact that every two minutes it is loading ,each time you "faint" you have to sit through all the narrative dribble that you have heard ten times already! Then when you are through with the dribble you are stuck playing some boring game before you can move ,then just as you This has got to be the most mind bogglingly boring game I have ever had the displeasure of playing!

    Well this game is only slightly different to its predecessor, except for the storyline of course. They just added some minor features which doesn't affect the game at all. For example players can achieve trophies now, compete in a wizard's duel against other students or replay chapters.

The game just feels like a remake and nothing more, but it is still a decent game.… Expand

    Por lejos, el mejor juego de toda la saga de Harry Potter, super divertido, buenas misiones, para la época sin duda fue un juegazo. Ojalá los juegos que le siguieron hubieran sido tan buenos como este.

    Really fun game! Like Sorcerer's Stone there's nothing amazing about the graphics here but these games have a charm even for those who aren't huge HP fans.

    COS is more fun especially because of the ending. The game works with an overall better story which makes it a better game.

    Ungodly broken messy gameplay. Controls are as painful to play as the 3D picture book art is to look at

    A big request to the developers (if they still remain) to make a Russian translation of the game (text and voice-over)! I really like the game, but it's very uncomfortable to play without Russian translation.

    Feels just like first Harry Potter PS1 game, in a good way. Perfect sequel.

    Offers enough “Zelda”-type gameplay and production values to make it a PSOne standout.

    One of the best titles for the system and a fitting example of how to use a popular license to excellent effect.

    It does have one significant advantage over its big brother: It makes sense. [Jan 2003, p.140]
