A Disgrace to Harry Potter Games

I'm sorry but I really do not like this game. I got it hoping it would be even a little like its gamecube counterpart, but it wasn't. It was extremley confusing and I still have no clue how to do the spell things, even now. I have gotten stuck at Aragog and have no freaking idea how to get past him. And what are those blue rock things????? Everytime I got near one I'd have to fight an elf or something, which lowered my energy so I couldn't beat bosses. This game is so hard and so stupid I feel it's a disgrace to the other Harry Potter games, which were all very good. If you have another system, get this game for it, but if not, consider something else. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!
Don't spend your money!

This game was not exactly what I expected! When I first opened it, and started to play it, it was not so good. It had bad graphics and it seemed impossible to beat a single level! Don't spend your money!
This is my first and last Gameboy Color game

Let me start of by saying that I did not ever want the Gameboy Color version of this game in the first place. I THOUGHT I was buying the Game Boy Advance version, but the person I bought it from gave me this piece of crap instead. The #1 complant I had was that it was not compatible with my Nintendo DS Lite, so I had to go dig up my Gameboy SP. The game itself is hard and I felt like I was playing a Pokemon game 98% of the time. Things randomly popping up at you? Hmmmm, that reminds me a lot like Pokemon. Turn based battles? Hmmmm, that reminds me of Pokemon too. The graphics reminded me of Pokemon too. If I wanted to play a Pokemon game, I would pick up a Pokemon game. If you don't want to waste your time and money, don't buy this piece of crap. EA didn't want to spend time and money making the game, so you shouldn't waste time and money playing the game.
Enjoyable game!

I got Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in my stocking for Christmas this year. It was my first gameboy game, and I was very impressed with it. Gameboy has progressed a long ways since I had played last (maybe 10 years ago). The colors were vivid and bright, the detail wonderful! I had to laugh out loud - its so detailed that you can see tiny slugs coming out of Ron's mouth when his wand backfires! I must admit, when I received Pokemon yellow next, I was a little disappointed with the colors/detail/etc after playing Harry Potter for a week or so.
The game follows the story line exactly - from living at the Dursley's, buying books at Diagon Alley, to attending Headless Nick's deathday party at Hogwarts. And I found very helpful that the game provided "how to's" when playing. For example, you degnome the Weasley's garden, the game gives you quick instructions on how to play before you do it (very helpful - it doesn't leave you scrambling for an instruction book). There are also a bonus 8 mini games you can play whenever you wish. I would say the game is great for about anyone - a young child (not violent, not too hard and easy to catch on to) or someone like myself (a college student procrastinating on papers to do). I played the game in 15 hours (logs your time) and found it very enjoyable and entertaining. I would highly recommend it.

Got this game with christmas money. I'd read a few reviews and thought this would be a good game to get for my GBC. I was wrong. I've beat it about 10 times now and it's gotten old pretty fast. So if you want to play this game, rent it, DO NOT BUY IT. But I would recommend any Zelda games.
Soooooooooo fun

I had no thought of getting another game. I went straight to it in the store. I thought that the game would be a lot easier. But I spent hours trying to figure the first part out. When I finally figured the game out,I couldn't take my eyes off it. It's a great game!!!!
hello! get with it!!!

This is the best game I have ever played. If you like Pokemon Ruby or Saphire you will love this. You gain attacks and get levels to help you. The ice attack is the best. I would reccomend this for 8-12 year olds.
Harry Potter is back ! ! ! ! !

Harry Potter is back in a great new adventure. When I bought this game it was so mutch fun that I did not want to stop. The game is so cool but sometimes it is very hard like at the giant spider aragog. You get to fly to Hogwarts batle your enemy's earn new spll's and be Harry Potter! I have so mutch fun. If you are a Harry Potter fan you should buy it and it is not vilent.
The best game for GBC.

The game is really better then GBA's version since i have both of them . The graphics for chamber of serets are very good. The way you denome the garden is great and it also gives you little tips that help you alot. Its not like the first one where you get all these hard and fustrating quests, its much better. The duel with malfoy is great. And the quests you do are much better then the first game. It is also a bit longer then the first one so you won't finish in a day unless you are a fan and play all day and night. The quests are hard but there not impossible. ALL HP FANS SHOULD GET THIS GAME BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXCITING AND REALSTIC ALMOST.

This game is really neat on PS1, but it is to hard. My brother and my dad couldn't even get past some parts. I don't think it's worth the price. But its still fun up to some part's!!!
