I was able to be one of the luck few to try this game and i love it take the adventure out of the book into the world of Game boy. Perfect for J.K. Rowling's readers who love nintendo.

This game rules!!!!

I think this game is the best game since Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo! I don't actually have the game yet,but I've played it once and it is really fun! You start the game in Privet Drive then move on to Diagon Alley where you buy all your wizarding needs. Ofcourse you first must navigate through the Gringotts maze to get you money. Once you have all your supplies,to the Hogwarts Express! After the Hogwarts Express you get to Hogwarts finaly. The castle is huge! You collect and trade wizard cards to improve Harry's strength.This game is really fun and will definately be a huge hit among gamers so it would be smart to reserve it,or you'll find yourself with an empty shelf.Thanks and see you at Hogwarts!

Awesome!

This game is great! So far I've shopped on Diagon Alley, attended my first day of classes at Hogwarts, snooped in the teachers' offices, collected wizard cards, and battled spiders, bats and rats. This game reminds me of Zelda, another good RPG. The graphics are great for a Gameboy game.

I have'nt played the game yet but I purchased it off the internet. I am getting it soon and the first thing I am going to do is read the instructions so I can better understand the game. Even though I have'nt played it I know I will Like it because I love all things that have to do with Harry Potter. Well,most things anway. But, if you have played this game you know how cool it is. I just can't wait to make new discoveries in the land of Harry Potter and Hogwarts. Thank you.

The best GameBoy game ever (Kari)

This game is the best GameBoy game I've ever played. I've had it for two days, and I've played it for over six hours. I like that you can pick your own spells, and you battle bats and other icky creatures. I also like that you can talk with Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, and other characters from the book. It's challenging. In one of the challenges you have to find potion ingredients for Snape, and it takes a LONG time (I haven't finished it yet). If you are a Harry Potter fan I think you should try this game.

Harry Potter as an RPG: it works!

Of all the Potter games I have played through (GBC, GBA, PSX), this is the best. It follows the plot of the book very well, it's fun to play, and it has great re-play value too.

It is slightly disappointing that you can't play Quidditch, but there are plenty of other fun 'minigames', and if including Quidditch would have compromised the rest of the game, then leaving it out was a good decision. (Real Quidditch fans should stick to the PSX version.)

The standard RPG format works very nicely: 'random' battles leading to turn-based combat, combat-experience improving your character, money earned being used to buy items, and the occassional 'boss' fight to really challenge you, all fitting in cleverly with the plot of the book.

The most interesting feature of the game is the 'Famous Witches and Wizards' cards. There are 101 (yes, 101!) to collect, and each one comes with a nice image and a bit of text on the witch/wizard it depicts. Early on in the game, you select a 'deck' to collect: most of the cards can only be collected if you are collecting the deck that they belong to (the rest are common to all decks). This means that in order to 'Collect them all' (ahem) you will either have to play through the whole game four times (once for each deck), or do some trading with a friend (make sure you collect different decks!). The best part is that the cards are not there just to look at: throughout the game you can receive 'Card Combos' which allow you to use the cards to cast extra-special spells in combat. With about 50 different combos to find and use, this game has a lot of longevity!

Overall this is a surprisingly deep, involving game, with solid gameplay and well-thought-out detail. It's amazing it fits on the cartridge.

okay...ive seen better

This was not a bad game. But beleive me-your using your money on an okay game when you could be playing something interesting like Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages. You'll spend hours hopelessly wandering dungeons,Hogwarts,and a million other places. The story of the game strays from J.K. Rowling's actual story: like in Gringott's Harry rides in a cart, he doesn't walk around. I bought this game in hopes I'd have the fun I had reading Harry Potter. Boy was I disappointed!
It really takes a ton of perserverence, fighting all the impossible battles with powerful creatures that are constantly a step stronger than you. So if you've bought all the better games in the world (quite a few, in my opinion), you're so strong a Harry Potter fan you'd (...) someone who dislikes it, or you're a complete fool and/or (...),buy this game.

Good Game

Well this was a very good game. The graphics compared to the other versions are okay but it's a gameboy color! I've played better games but I am not disappointed. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone follows the story line as close as possible with quest after quest after quest! The only thing is did they have to go through a dungeon before they went into the entrance hall? Plus I don't remeber fighting rats and bats and suits of armor. I got it yesterday and I've been playing for about three hours. Non of it is too hard however I understand I'm not that far in the game yet. (...) I reccomend this for beginners and veterans alike plus harry potter fans.
Go see the movie! It's really GREAT!!!

This is GREAT!

This game is so fun!!!
I have gotten past so many things!
I wish there was another game to go with the book series!
Like the Goblet of Fire was an awesome book!
Also, I liked the third book, the prisoner of azkaban.
The second book, though, had the most action.
I liked the basilisk.
You guys should see if there's another one put there!
Then, you could make the most money off of me, I'm like nthe biggest walking Harry Potter fan alive!
Writre to me if you guys get another Harry Potter game, on Game Boy Color!
Love,
