My opinion is this game's going to be the better than the two first Harry Potter video games, even at the risk of combining the first two.I've heard from other sites the game's going to follow the book more closer than the movie. I also hear the game will be released in Q2 of 2004. You will be riding Hagrids pets, including Buckbeak. You will be learning 10 or more spells than the second Harry Potter, and possibly more than one class a day. EA's adding much more to the game, than the second and first. The game will also be longer. This time possibly a few months to beat. It will be realistic just as the second, as in day and night. It is even a rumor there will be more than 30 days in Harry third year! Keep in mind it's only a rumor. Little is still known about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, because the game has yet to come out. I'll keep you updated with the third Harry Potter Game. B-Bye!

Okay, we've gained more information.
The follwing are spoilers to the game, so if you wanna not know stuff about this game turn your head.

EA seemed to visit places and release some info. In a video, the company was shown by EA that Ron, Hermione, and Harry, along with the sleeping Professor Lupin rode Hogwarts Express. The mission began where you got to explore the train in control of Ron. You encounter a book that suddenly attacks Ron and you get the first taste of the fighting system. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all used for different things and can be switched anytime during the game as long as you're not doing an alone mission. For example, since Ron comes from a wizard family he can sense secret walls or passagewalls that is impossible for the others to sense. Hermione, since she is smaller than Harry and Ron can fit into spaces that Ron and Harry cannot, and since she is so smart she has a lot of useful spells. Harry, on the other hand, through the game takes Professor Lupin's personal class and learns the Patronus Charm which can drive off dementors.
Anyways, after the montrous book is defeated soon after you'll encounter Draco Malfoy who wants to duel Ron. But as the duel begins, it is said that something is wrong, because the train door is slowly opening letting a dementor into the train. He floats at least two feet off the ground, and Harry faints from the sight of them. Ron is to drag Harry to safety while Hermione goes to get help from a teacher. If a dementor is to catch Ron in the process you'll actually see the dementor sucking the soul out of Harry. A wriggle of the analog could release you from the dementor, though. (whew)

I also have this little feeling of the stuff that I've read about this game, that if you're far in the game, you have the opportunity of combining their stregnth by pressing certain buttons at a certain time and it is also impossible to win some boss fights without doing so.
There are sadly, some downsides. The loading time again is interferring with the game. One minute was what the team said it took to load AT THIS POINT. They're fixing it to around twenty seconds and even less for Xbox and GameCube.

All in all, this game sounds awesome doesn't it? Make sure you buy this at your local game store when it's released or pre-order it today, ah?

This game was a complete let down. All challenges throughout the game are exactly the same and did not vary in difficulty - i.e. moving boxes around and pushing buttons. Game play was only about 12 hours - compared to over 30 hours from the second Harry Potter. The story did not follow the book at all and it was irritating to have to switch between characters to use the various spells. Also, by only allowing two place holders for spells or objects, you have to continually switch back and forth to the menu page selecting the spell you want for that particular activity. Overall, this game was an utter letdown - especially after all the fun and challenge of the Chamber of Secrets game.

Hello! More facts have been released on the game. You can play as Harry, Ron and Hermione switching between them to complete the task. You have the opportunity to fly Buckbeak, control Hedwigs, and there are more cards (more than just wizard and witches cards) to collect. So far, SOUNDS SO EXCELLENT! IT WILL BE A MUST BUY DURING IT'S RELEASE!!!!!

Well finally after waiting a whole year Harry Potter year 3 is finally coming to theaters and having a brabd new video game coming soon. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for Playstation 2 is going to be the best Harry Potter game yet!!! With wild 3D graphics and for the first time ever being able to play as Ron and Hermione!!!! Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the Playstation 2 will be released in the United States and Canada on May 22nd, 2004, so make sure that you run to your local store or pre-order it online soon as possible should be a big seller!!!! Peace Out!!! ps-rumored to take a couple months to complete entire game!!!!

The famous young wizard Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for another year of schooling... and you'd better believe that he's got adventure in store for him. Defeating your enemies won't be possible unless you pay very careful attention in your magic classes, and master a series of mini-games designed to test your knowledge and skills. Are you worthy of being called The Boy Who Lived?

This game is fun but short.I BEAT IT IN 3DAYS.Things like hinkypunks (dont think thats spelled right)are simple, you aim a lumos spell at them untill they dont look like smoke and you flipendo them 2 times! rent the game then buy it,if you dont already beat it.

I think this game is going to be the best of the first two games. I think everyone is going to by it. I just can't wait till it comes out. I hope it is not like 30 or 40 dollars. I already know I will love this game.

i want to know how much it is for the price. thank u.
