This game was horrible, I wasted my money on it and I recomend that you don't waste yours. I have never played such a bad game, there is no action and too much violence, this game is not appropriate for young kids under the age of 12 regardless what the label says.

What I think about about Harry Potter? I think it is a great book and movie. Lots of people around the world can experence Harry Potter. I appreciate J.K. Rowling because she helped me and people all over the world that reading IS fundemental. Thank you J.K. Rowling, Christopher Columbus, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupurt Grint, and Emma Watson in showing the whole world how responsible you really are.
A wild ride through Harry's world!

I previewed this game recently and I am astonished at the quality of the graphics! I reviewed the game on three different platforms (PS2, Gamecube and XBox) and the graphics engine is exceptionally good. Gameplay is challenging, and although younger kids will no doubt have some problems with many of the button sequences, I think any child five or older will get something out of this game. There is no question this will be the hit of the holiday season so order now!

This game is the best game i ever played. I just love the story. There is not a lot of violence to the person who said that. It is a game of magic and that is my favorite topic. I would say that you should get this game. If i could be in charge of rating it I would give it a 1,000,000,000%. So get it right away.
Great game, way better than the first!

Picked up a copy of this game for PS2, and while I can't comment on the other platforms, I can say that this game is a lot of fun.
It does play similar to Legend of Zelda in that you acquire things and spells as you move through the game to help out.. lots of side games and other tasks included to give you a breather from regular gameplay and rack up points for Griffindor.
The only downside to this game (and the reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars) is the frequent and lengthy load times as you move between parts of Hogwarts.. sometimes 15-20 seconds of loading for every couple minutes of moving around. A "warp" feature similar to Zelda would have helped out here and taken away the need to always go back and forth through frequently-used parts of the castle.
Great graphics, good level of difficulty and LOTS of fun.. highly recommended!
very bad game

we bought this game and we were very excited about it but it turned out to be a huge dissapoinment!!! you would get stuck in levels and when you want to go to next level or even open a door to go inside somewhere you'll have to wait for the game to load for a while,and it's not worth $49.99 at all.
OMG the loading time!

I think this game is great with the exception of the extremely long loading time. The graphics are pretty good. There are a few glitches but overall the game is set up nicely! I love the story and was surprised at how close to the book a lot of the quests in the game are. This was a great buy, I'm just mad about the loading time. I think I see a few gray hairs now! Overall a good purchase!

This game is great! Explore and buy things in Diagon Alley or save Ron at the Whomping Willow! I was NOT impressed with the first game however. I loved to buy Stink Pellets and The Standerd Book of Spells (Grade 2). Find Ginny's stuff that she lost while at Diagon Alley. It was hard to seek past the owner of The Magical Mengirine. Battle creepy monsters and magical plants at the Whomping Willow. Watch out for whomping branches as you complete this level! At the beginning of the game, you land at the Burrow. You have to help Ron, Fred and George Weasley de-gnome their garden. Knockout the gnome then spin it all around and THROW! Try to beat Fred's score, 128! If you toss it and it does not go far you will be lowered to 3. After de-gnoming their shed, you have to duel their washing machine! "Dad tried to charm it, but now its everything BUT charming!" Fred said. Pretty soon you're not going to duel some puny little washing machine! You will be dueling real people! Of course, you get to explore and play in Hogwarts after completing early levels. You have your very own Rememberball! You can check it for new tasks or look at a map of Hogwarts, the Whomping Willow and Diagon Alley. At the second level, you land in Borgin & Burkes! You have to hide from Malfoy's dad then sneak past the creepy hand guarding the Lumos book! Retreive and get yourself out of there!!! In some places such as Borgin & Burkes, the floor is brittle and if stepped on BREAK and you'll have to find your way back up on the floor you were on (HINT DOWN BELOW!)! This is a Harry Potter Fan dream! It's worth all the money!!!
NOTE: This may give part of the game away!!!
Brittle Floors: When you think your on a brittle floor, cast Lumos. This will make the brittle spots of the floor glow. This is not a cheat code. In fact, thats how you get past them. Also, before you climb a ladder look up on the ceiling. The brittle floor will be gray while the strong floor is yellowish.
NOTICE: Nothing will glow if nothing is brittle.
It's bad don't get it i made that mistake
