I think this game is pretty bad. There are too many problems that I am going to list here:

*Not enough save points
*Hard to move your wand around to cast the spell at the enemies
*Everything is an adventure they never let u relax
*In quidditch it is kinda hard to catch the stupid snitch
*sometimes the game will go really slow with older systems

Also you can't explore and this game isn't that good anyway.

No fun: I cannot save a game. Ever. Or to be correct, a saved game cannot be reloaded - just produces a black screen. In other words you have to play the entire game at once!
The not at all helpful support from Aspyr initially just returned standard comments (I am surprised they did not write back: "have you switched on your computer?") and eventually they just ignored me.

O.K.

The Game is Much to Short!!!!!!

I beat the game in a day!!!!

Don't think it is bad or anything. you can cast spells catch snithches and save the wizarding world from Lord (You Know Who's) Evil riegn.

Long and time consuming

This game is pretty good, hard at some points, it seems like a big maze you just can't leave and you don't know if your going the right way, but maybe I just don't play enough games. It's extreamly long. Like at least 10 hours of playing. I liked it, overall, and I played twice. This is a great game for people who spend their days sitting on their commputer all day.

Pretty good game...

This is a nice game... But it could use a few improvements. First off: MOUTHS. I wish they had made the mouths on the people move! It looks like the people who made the game were too lazy to make the mouths move.
Second: You can't skip cutscenes... You have to sit for a long time watching Fred and George show how to walk on the carpet and pick up a bean.
Also, the characters keep changing voices so one second Filch will sound mean and nasty and the next second he'll sound as nice as Dumbledore. Oh yeah, speaking of Dumbledore; he has an AMERICAN ACCENT! ... The game has a very good, easy to follow story and very nice graphics. It's also REALLY fun and challenging. You should get it...but if you don't like the bad stuff I told you about, then get Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Pretty Good Buy

For the $ I spent on the game when it first came out, it is sure worth it. The game is challenging, yet fun. I loved how you could explore the school in-between classes! For me, the Quidditch games were very tough, but once you got the hang of it, it wasn't too bad. One thing I would change about it, though, is the fact that the character's mouths did not move while they talked. This did not, however, in any way affect the game, it is just my personal preferance. The puzzles kept me playing for hours, and the game went basically along the same storylines as the book, except for the fact that it seemed the whole story took place in a day! I have still to beat it, though I am at the end. The game was a very enjoyable experience, and a MUST for all Harry fans!

Awesome!

In a nutshell, whether you like Harry Potter or you don't, this is still a great game for you!

Very, very buggy game

This software is extremely buggy. I've tried it on three different PCs, and the same thing happens on all three. The sound disappears after awhile, and there's no way to get it back other than quitting and restarting. The game is also a resource hog. It eats up 500MB (1/2 gigabyte) of your hard disk, and it's slow. Running in a 2.0GHz Pentium 4 with 1GB of RAM, the sound output often skips.

Fun, but...

Before I got this game last year I thought, "Harry Potter as a computer game could be interesting." It is interesting, in good and bad ways.

First, don't expect the game to be like the book OR the movie. It's nothing like either. Once you get over that, it's pretty fun, but as an adult stategy gamer I found this game mostly simplistic fun. Kids would probably enjoy it more and not find it too frustrating.

My main complaint is not with the game and it's play, but the poor quality put into the making of this game. The people move very stiffly and when they talk their mouths don't move...it's very weird to see people talking, yet not talking but bobbing their heads up and down. To me, it's seems as if the makers of this game did a rush job and didn't take much time to produce a high quality game, which is darned disappointing. True fans won't appreciate it.

Also, what is up with the "Flipendo" spell? It's the first spell you learn and you use it ALL THE TIME! It got very boring after a short while and I would have enjoyed my game time much more if they had used a larger variety of spells.

If this was just a regular game without a famous name I'm sure not many people would like it. But the name makes the game, in this case, and I couldn't help but have a fun time playing despite it's obvious faults.
