This game is pretty good but it can be hard if u dont look around to find the things u need to beat the level. I'm only 9 so older people might find it easier. The Weasly twins help u in the beginning to show u how to jump, find Bertie Botts every flaver beans, and how to climb. Learning spells is pretty easy all u have to do is trace the line the teacher makes. But on my computer some parts just black out. This game is pretty fun and would REALLY recommend it.

It is a shame

The potential for an excellent game is obvious from the brilliance of the Potter series........but this game is so simplistic and unimaginative that it is a total failure. It appears to have been created only for the purpose of cashing in on the popularity of Harry Potter. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your money.

This game is a great game, for all those under the age of 7. Anyone who prefers games with a sense of challenge, speed, and dignity should steer clear of this game. For those of you who are fans of Harry Potter and are inclined to get it because of that, this is not the game to get. This game merely disgraces the already pitiful Harry Potter series.

Are we missing something?

We bought this for our family and while the graphics keep the kids entertained the programming is poor to say the least. Why in the world should you be required to use the key board to manipulated the character? The kids still find it amusing although our five year old is mastering the game rather quickly-we have only had it for three days. Given the world delight with Harry and the gang I should hope that a more refined program will be developed.

Mediocre disappointment

I love Harry Potter. The books, at least. What's more, I love computer games. However, my compassion ends there. These two loves do not mix here.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (which still vexes me; it's an alchemist's stone, burn you!) is one of the more mediocre games it has been my misfortune to come across. The reasons are as legion as the bowling ball sized beans that lie strewn across the hall. The first complaint is the sheer ridiculousness of the school. Hogwarts, the programmers imagine, is not a pleasant place, full of massive holes in the floor, where death awaits those who wanted to go to class, and teachers will send you off to risk life and limb after teaching you one seemingly useless and completely random spell. How is Lumos supposed to protect me against the Dark Arts, Professor Quirril?

This is hardly the only flaw in the game. Another is the almost complete disregard for any sort of plot. In the introduction, presented in stills stolen from a Harry Potter Day calendar I'd been given, you are told that as Harry put on the sorting hat, he hoped he would not be put into Slytherin instead of Griffindor. Why? No explanation is given for what the houses represent. Worse still, Harry seems to have turned into Lenny from Memento: Ron actually comes up to him and says something along the lines of: "I'm Ron Weasley, remember me?" Other characters are similarly introduced, although Harry should by now know who they are; at times, it comes across as if they really are assuming you to be a compete fool, telling you peoples names over and over. Except when the characters themselves are incompetent: although Harry makes no decisions or discoveries, he is the one that actually does everything. What plot remains would leave anyone who hadn't read the books, or at least seen the film, lost; those that know how the plot should resolve itself just chuckle as Voldemorte hoarsely coughs "Die, Potter" in the unsatisfying yet difficult final level. The only redeeming thing about the whole ordeal is a good John Cleese impersonator. At least, I pray to God he wasn't actually the voice in this game. He's worth more then that.

The real problem with the game, though, is not that it's bad, but that people will want it regardless. It's Harry Potter, after all. Had it been a good game, then people might buy other games, and the industry as a whole gains. Instead, the game is mediocre, and the people who could have gotten hooked, don't. Don't bother buying it, gamer or fan. Either way, it's a waste.

This is a waste of money!

Unless you have the newest computer capability, you cannot play this game. I bought this (the site did not mention the needs for your computer) and it went as sloww as molassas in January! I would recomend the Gameboy Version instaed. The coloring is very dark, so it is hard to see dark halls or anything of that sort. Keep posted for i may sell mine!

Especialmente para fans

Evidentemente quienes disfrutaremos más este juego somos los fans de Harry, los de todas las edades.
Los gráficos son buenos, pero creo que pudieron ser mejores! Bastante fácil de jugar, quizá lo más difícil es jugar al quidditch, pero todo lo demás es bastante sencillo.

It's pretty good......

It's a pretty cool game. The graphics are nice, and it's fairly realistic. The only thing is that it can be sort of hard to move some times, though. Options aren't easy to control, either. But overall, it's a pretty good game. I recommend it for around 8 and up.

Horrible!

This game is the absolute worst thing that EA has ever made. You only get to learn five spells throughout the entire game! I've only played it for four hours, and I've almost beaten it! ...
