this cdrom is okay, but installing takes forever and a WHOLE GIGABYTE! And, on my computer, the screen is blurry and I can hardly see. On my friend's, though, it works fine. But I don't really like this CDROM.
not an adventure game

I bought this game and loved it. Some part took me a while to complete but I love it I recomend it to any body ages 7 up because it is a chalange at points. And at 11 it still takes me looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg time to beat. i love the game. right now i have to sneek past flinch to get to the common room. this game has a good veiw but sometimes you have trouble seeing things around corners. But that is really the only problem. Again I loved this game.
Fun...

This game is very fun. I like the part where you have to sneak past Filch.
Pros:
1. Very interactive
2. Difficult at times and easy at times
3. Cheats make the game fun (go to gamewinners.com for cheats)
Con:
1. you can only follow one path. You can barely explore.
2. wizard cards are easy to find.
Great Game!

this is a pretty good game overall but some parts are really poorly designed or just annoying. you start out with a set of still pictures that fill you in on the backstory. (how harry is where he is what happened to his parents etc etc) when you enter the gameplay dumbledore blabs at you a bit and then you follow ron up the stairs to go to a tutorial with fred and george. the things that bugged me the most are the fact that you could just fall through a solid floor to your death. i am missing one wizard card and it is in the lumos challenge somewhere. you have spell challenges for every new spell you learn. the best part of the game is where you are delivering norbert to charlies friends and filch is running allover trying to stop you from getting in the tower. the graphics are fairly good besides the fact that ron is still smiling when he has his leg torn into by the chessboard, and hermione never really puts her books down. at 30buckswhen it came out it was WAAAAAYYY to much money but ten bucks is pretty good i think. it kept me busy for four hours which i would have been watching spme movie over again.........
Lost CD code

Hi ... the game of Harry Potter and the Sorcrer's stone has given me and my kids a great time ... however my computer crashed recently and while trying to reinstall the game I found that I had misplaced the original code. Please anyone out there please supply me a code for the installation of the game.

Great Fun

Comparing this to the book would be unfair, to say the least. It has no aims to be an adaption of any sort, and even portrays certain parts better than the recently released movie version. Though I've never been a fan of video games, I played this one out of my obsession with Harry Potter and related characters, and didn't find it disappointing at all. It has rich graphics that are vaguely (and impressively) reminiscent of the movie's actors and sets, and shows certain parts of the book flawlessly while adding and leaving out others. The dialouge and sound effects are realistic, as well as the events and activities (at least, realistic in a Harry Potter sense, of course). Though it can become repetitive, and rather annoying at times (especially when you're stuck on a level for hours at a time with no option to save at will), it's a time-consuming and enjoyable game for kids and teens alike. It's a Hogwarts adventure well-worth the time and money, and displays the book without ruining or retelling it.
A Real Snoozer (for good gamers)

I think that this game is a waste of time and money.There are only a handfull of reasons why this game is good while there is a truckload of reason why this game is bad.I'll explain why below.
Cons: 1. on the package it advertises that you can "explore" Hogwarts while batteling foes and solving puzzles ect. When they say that it means that every few levels you get to run around a small area trying to find jellybeans and talk to people walking up and down the corridors.
2.It also advertises that you collect bertie botts every flavor jellybeans, there is noting wrong with the statement but what they dont tell you is that they arent worth squat! the only thing that you do with them is give them to fred and george weasly when they need to run some "experiments".
3. the puzzles aren't challenging AT ALL! All you do is aim the wand at random objects untill a cast spell symbol appears and then you release the butten and then youve figured out the puzzle.(there are a couple actual puzzles that are mediocre but not many).
4. batteling foes is the same, aim the wand and release.
Those weren't half of the cons that I have yet I must hurry, so here are the pros:
1: there are a few interesting puzzels like the chess game at the end because they had an interesting object.
2:Quidditch is o.k. you fly around on the broomstick chasing the snitch untill a hand and a golden ball appears in the bottom left hand corner of the screen and than you let them get close and you hit the controol butten to catch the thing.
3: You get the joy of watching the story form and end on your own P.C.
Overall:
All I have to say is no good gamers! Beginner gamers and Harry Potter fans ONLY.
