It's about time. A fun Harry Potter Game. What you have heard is true. This is an action Harry Potter game. I love it. It will keep the attention of anyone who has not been a fan in the past. This is because this is an action game where as the other potter games have been a hunt for and talk to collect-a-thon. Is there talking this time? Yes, but only while you are fihghting. In fact, you do not have to read anything if you do not want to. Excellent audio samples and voice acting. The game is fast, fun and creative. You will casts numerous spells. A big complaint has been that you don't pick your spells, you just always press the same button and perform whatever spell fits the situation. BUt I like it. It would slow down the action if you had to go through some menu, and it would limit the spells if they were limited to the number of buttons.
Bottom line: Great action game. If you remotely like the series, you will finaly love the game.

I dislike games that give you no options. If there is a particular task you can't do, then there's nowhere else for you to go in the game. In the dragon challenge, I had to fly through three screens, and I'm not sure what qualified you for a high score, either speed or hitting all the targets, but I couldn't fly a perfect level after hours of trying. Neither could my husband, who is usually good at these things and gets me out of jams on other games. So I got fed up and never finished.

this game came literally in 1 day its very old and its in great condition i love it my husband loves it its alota fun

The only cool thing about this game is that you can choose whether to play as Harry Ron or Hermione. And three people can play at the same time. Aside from that the game is not very much fun. There is no camera control, so it is hard to see all around you which is really annoying. There is also no jump button, so you cannot explore anything. Unlike all the other harry potter games there are no wizard cards to find. I always thought that was the best part, finding secret passages and wizard cards. all of that is gone in this game. In fact the gamecube game is exactly the same as the PC Goblit of Fire game. Don't waste your money on this game. There is no freedom to do what you wish in this game. It is not challanging at all until you get to voldemort at the end and that part is so frustrating and stupid. don't bother with this game.

This game was more of a standardized game, than the free-play type of the first three. In this game you have more set items you have to accomplish, and the overall setup is nothing like the others. If you like the first three, this one is extremely different, but this one is still worth playing. There are many differences though, so make sure you take your time.
