Chamber of Secrets- I believe this one was the best out of these three. It captured the story from the movie the closest.

Prisoner of Azkaban- This one was great also but the ending fight against the dementors was ridiculous. It was the hardest fight in all 5 games that have come out so far.

Goblet of Fire- This one was just horrible. You were not allowed to roam the grounds like the previous 3 before it. Because of this I did not even finish the game. I was too furious with it.

If you like Harry Potter and their games, this is a great deal for you. The graphics are good, could be better. Some of the "views"/playing experience (visibility) while playing the games are not user friendly. These games are more challenging than the first game (Sorcerer's Stone) due to the tasks that need to be accomplished. The story line, settings, imagery and imagination are fantastic, like all of Harry Potter products. I highly recommend these games.

Chamber of Secrets: This is a very good game full of collectibles and mini games. It has a great world in which you explore Hogwarts, the grounds, and sometimes the Forbidden Forest. Teachers send you through passageways to explore dangerous dungeons to retrieve spell books. Sneaking around authority figures at night is challenging, but fun nonetheless.

Prisoner of Azkaban: This game is somewhat like Chamber of Secrets, but it is also quite a bit different. This time you can play as Ron and Hermione. Teachers still send you to dungeons to learn spells, and the dungeons are quite a lot longer than previous games. Full of collectibles and some mini games to take your mind off the main adventure, it's a very fun game. The only problem is your companions seem to have the need to complain about you procrastinating every five seconds.

Goblet of Fire: I started this game knowing there is NO exploration, that the game goes in levels instead of walking through a world, and there isn't really much object collecting. In other words, I played this game with a very open mind. I expected the game to still be fun... but it wasn't. I didn't find any gameplay charm and the levels were pretty boring. At least the cutscenes have a very unique style to them.

Chamber of Secrets: *****
Prisoner of Azkaban: *****
Goblet of Fire: **
Overall Package: ****

Games are fun and cute. Great for Potter fans that need more then books and movies. I really liked the game based on Goblet of Fire.

I liked playing these games w/ my kids (ages 6 and 7) -- the third one was the best, because (in theory) all three could play -- we didn't have an additional remote or adapter, but I think the boys would have liked it even more then.
We started playing video games together w/ Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, some anime ones, etc... and since my kids know the HP stories pretty well (what?!? They're mature enough! We talked about it -- and still do!)... they liked being a part of it.
A fun one for parents to play with kids, if the parents are like me, from the video game generation. Long live ATARI! ~kidding.. sort of.

I bought this game for my 13 year old. He loves it. It is both fun and challenging for him. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I bought this as a Valentine's Day gift for my fiance. She's a huge HP fan and I've learned that anything related to Harry Potter is probably a safe bet as a gift. She's a casual gamer, and really enjoyed Order of the Phoenix on the Wii. She has the first one for the Playstation as well so I figured this would be a great way to complete her collection. Sure enough she loves it! You can't beat the price either!

The only problem was that I had to dig out the PS2 and hook it up, but that's more the jerks at Sony failing to release a consistant PS3 model or a backwards compatibility firmware update. (we'll leave that rant for another review.)

Anyway, this is an absolutely great product, each game comes in it's own case with all the manuals and artwork etc. The pictured item is just a flimsy cardboard box to keep them all together. I would recommend this for any HP fan/gamer.

I love playing Harry Potter games. Although Im still getting a hang of playing them on Playstation 2 there still really fun. Theres more to them than the computer versions which is awesome.
The games are even fun for kids and adults. My niece is 7 and she loved playing with me. I definitely recommend this game for everyone.
Overall I give this a rating of 10 out of 10 as the best game ever.

I got this game for my husband for Christmas, and he absolutely loved it! We play it all the time.

This was purchased for a 9 year old's b-day. He loves it. Some are a bit difficult (level wise) but it's good because he loves a challenge. I would recommend this, as he (and his older sisters, too) enjoy it a lot.
