    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 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.

    This game is god awful, one of the worst games i have ever played. The first 3 Harry Potter games are classics but then this game came out and destroyed the Harry Potter Game franchise.

    Level design is uninspired. Gameplay/puzzles are stale and lack any real quality design elements. Why can't they let the player instantly switch between playable characters like so many other multi-character games? Poor decision on their part.

    Why the low rating? It's really fun. It could have been a longer game though. But still fun learning new spells and unlocking new abilities. Love the card system.

    It's really fun if you're playing with a friend! 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.

  1. EA plays it safe with their latest Harry Potter adventure, featuring the same smooth gameplay and visual flair we have come to expect from the franchise.

    Seasoned gamers will find very little of interest here, regardless of how massive a Harry Potter fan you are (personally I love the books and the films).
  3. 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.
