    UGH! They finally get the world and controls just right, and fail to build an actual videogame around them. Gamespot was right on when they called it a "virtual reality chore simulator". No one would find this fun, except a 5 year old. I don't know what they were thinking. It could have been so damn good. There's always next time....again.

    If you like little hide and seek-games, if all you ever wanted to do in a game was "wingardium leviosa", a little poking around the hogwarts grounds, well, you can probably have fun playing the game.

    Having played The Twilight Princess, this game was a complete letdown for me. Yes, it's true - it's a very nice idea to use the wiimote as a wand, but it's not enough to compensate the story. If you don't know the books, haven't seen the movies, you'll suffer from the massive gaps and the terrible cuts. Surely, it could have been much worse, graphic and sound are well... ok, I guess.    … Expand

    When the game launched I would have given it a higher rating. Years later I have replayed through it on a new Gamertag and I still really enjoy it.

    EA truly made an extra effort here and created a good movie-based video game that players of almost all ages can enjoy, as long as they enjoy the whole Harry Potter premise.

    The experiment is a success and testament to the fact that EA really has been spending more time crafting these games as the movies and books become more ambitious. If "Half-Blood Prince" produces the same leap in concept as we've seen here, Potter fans will really be in for something.

    Is Harry Potter a good game? No, not particularly. The story's vague and badly realized; the characters aren't especially likeable, and the tasks you're given are tedious and involve a lot of plodding about Hogwarts. But does it capture the feel of the franchise? Absolutely, and if you really get involved in the game you'll forgive it its flaws.
