I am a big harry potter fan and this game was soo dissapointing. It has almost nothing to do with the books or the movie. All you ever do is go find this, go find that, get rid of your curse, etc. If you don't believe me, go rent it - you'll be so sorry you wasted your money.
This Game STINKS!

I bought this game about 2 years ago. I played it one time and I was DONE!! I never played it again. It has levels that are impossible to get past and its very confusing. It is no fun I STRONGLY advise you not to waste your money. I am in high school and this game is so CONFUSING!! Instead, go buy the book!

this game is exactly like pokemon. class dissmissed.really thats it in a nutshell. they have "magical incounters", which is exactly like pokemon battles. you can also buy things. and, besides the characters and items, it is not like the book at all. in gringotts did harry walk around?
Decent

Like most other gameboy games this is highly dissapointing. I bought it as a gift and after I beleive an hour the game was so lame that even a little 6 year old boy got sick of it and hasnt touched it since. I suggest you invest your money in a computer game like lego racers instead.

This is one of the worst games I have ever played. With horrible graphics and bad sound, I would rather be playing the original Frogger game. The game is O.K. in the begining and in the end it is terrible. Don't buy it.
Just okay

This game is very confusing. It annoys me becuse first of all when you get to Gringotts you are walking through a maze and you are following Hagrid and then all the sudden you (Harry) trip and Hagrid leaves you dispite your screaming. And plus in the book and the movie you ride on a mine car like thing and here you have to find your way through dungeons of the bank for a while battling little things that appear out of no where (pokemon anyone?). Then when you finnaly find your way through the bank and you find Hagrid he leaves you again. And you have to find your way back through the tunnel. Then you go shopping for Harry's school stuff and that is fun but only because I like shopping. After that you go to The train station (I am suprised that Hagrid acually leads you there.) Then when you get on the train you have to find a seat while the train is moving and you battle Malfoy. When you get to school you have to find your way throught the lake while monsters are jumping out at you. So then when you get there by sheer luck you have to find your way to the entrance hall by yourself. Then they do the whole sorting thing and then you have to go up to your dormitory because someone trips you and you get away from the group. Then when you get up there you don't know the password so you have to find a ghost that knows it and when you do he askes you to find him somthing and he will tell you. And i was all confused because I had no clue where I wass going. and then he gives you the password and you get there and go to bed.
In the morning,you wake up late and you have to go to potions class(you have to find your way there again) and Snape puts a curse on Neville Longbottom (child abuse) while he sits there and groans "it hurts". Snape tells you to go find ingredients and you have no clue what they are but nevertheless you must go find them in places that were not in the book or the movie. So you are wandering around Hogwarts with no clue what is going on. Well that is as far as I have gotten in this game. You decide wether you want to but it or not but I would suggest not. :)
not the best,

it was not the best game. it was kinda boring. that is unless you like walking around places that doesn't really have a point to it.it is really boring to just looking for things, nothing really else to do.

Ok this game is one of the worst games I have ever purchased. First of all, there is too much reading and animation. You may as well just buy the movie because this is basically it except the grapics are terrible to be honest and you really cannnot tell that Harry Potter is really Harry. Also some of the battles (pokemon anyone?) are very hard and the system that they use to determine if you will win the battle is very odd because every spell is worth something and everytime you use a spell, it deducts some points from you. :( it is really dumb. Though I love Harry Potter, they could have done better on the game.
Disapointing

This game is way different from what i hoped and pictured it to be. 1st it has a whole bunch of tasks not in the book or movie! Second it is confusing and hard. I really enjoy Harry Potter, but not this. I hope the second game (when it comes out) will be much better, because it needs to.
