    The game changes a few of the things Harry fans have come to expect from the games, and though aimed at a younger audience, Harry fans will find a lot to like in the game.

    This latest Potter effort is rather damned good. It looks superb, it encourages teamwork without screwing up too much when you're only in single-player mode, and when a change of pace kicks in, it usually involves Potter being murdered by a 60-foot-long fire-breathing lizard.

    As the movies and books mature with their audiences this game seems to have been left behind a grade in an attempt to attract a new generation of gamers that might be too young for the material the game is based upon.

    I would really like to play this game with its ability to have three live players. I believe that will hurdle the fun a great deal.

    A fine, if not predictable, bit of movie gaming. [Jan 2006, p.49]

    Actually really boring. Its poorly broken up into sections when it would have been should you have been able to explore the world and not justActually really boring. Its poorly broken up into sections when it would have been should you have been able to explore the world and not just parts of it. Decent graphics that feature little to no variety and no replay value at all. Also you have to be perfect on every level in order to unlock the next level - That sucks.… Full Review »

I think they could've done better as far as the card system goes. Between all 3 characters, (Harry, Ron and Hermione) Ron has the best cards. Why? It should've been Hermione as she's the smartest of the 3. Or harry. Besides that, it's a solid game.… Full Review »
