I was going to buy this game for my SP, but I decided i don't play with my DS as much, so I got this one. I'm glad I did, I really like it. The graphics get better and better with each new Harry potter game, and the characters and surroundings are so realistic. It was a little annoying having to dart my eyes back and forth from the top and bottom screens, but now I'm getting used to it, and it's not so bad. The mini games are aimed at younger kids(so far), but they're still fun and I love that there is some RPG moments in the game. If you're young, you'll definately enjoy this game, and if your an adult Harry Potter fan,like me, you'll find it more fun than not. It's worth the money.

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.

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Video Game)

I'm a major fan of everything Harry Potter, I mean who can't love a surprisingly misfortunate orphan with a lightning bolt shaped scar who suddenley finds out that he's a wizard??
I was looking around when I saw that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire would be coming out for the Nintendo DS on the 9th of November or around that. Having already bought Nintendogs and loved everything about it, I thought Harry Potter + Nintendo DS= Lots of hours of fun.
On the most part I was right.
Here is a list of pros and Cons.
Pros-
- You can play as either of the golden trio, Hermione, Harry or Ron.
- The large variety of spells used, makes gameplay more challenging and enjoyable
- The mini games are quite fun, but they are mostly for younger children maybe in the age range of 7-12
- One feature to this game is 3D encounters with various creatures, which you get to use the touch screen.
- Each stage is, long and challenging. A few are fairly easy while others you might have to loose a few lives until you finaly make it.
- wide variety of sounds

Cons-
- you barely use the touch screen except for the mini games and 3D encounters.
- The graphics, except for when you're in a 3D encounter, look like they could be a GBA game and not a DS.
- This game if very fast, I completed like 3 stages of the game the first day I bought it.
- Some of the animations, mostly in 3D encounters, become repetitive but not overly annoying.
- I'm not going to say that I have finished the game yet but so far I don't really see any reason why you would want to replay it.
