This game does not have any exploring of Hogwarts, and the levels are very limited, there are only ten or so short ones. You can't go around opening secret passageways and unlocking treasure chests like the predecessors, and the spell-casting system is unsatisfying, even if the graphics are much improved.
With the spell-casting system, you can only cast a spell when you are in the right circumstances, unlike the freedom that you had before where spells were assigned to different buttons.
Pros:
Better Graphics
Cooler-Looking Spells
Cons:
Not being able to explore Hogwarts
The limited amount of playing time
the new spell-casting system
Really, if your a Harry Potter fan, get the Prisoner of Azkaban. Or Battlefront II. That's not a Harry Potter game but it's the best game you'll get this year.

Not Worth the Money!

It is a decent action game. However, it is not like the previous three games where you have the opportunity to walk around and explore Hogwarts - there is none of that, no interior Hogwarts at all to walk through. You don't really lean any new spells they just occupy one button on your controller. ALso, they totally did away with Fred and George's Joke shop and now you use your beans to gain strength through wizarding cards but the whole thing is just stupid. I, like 20+ others that I know, am completely disappointed and feel that the game, was a waste of money. It was absolutely no fun at all to play. It's just a bunch of tasks outside of Hogwarts - you don't see an interior of the castle at all. Save your money.

Not as good as the movie...

It was a weak start, it was good and enjoyable, but with their
earlier creation, Pirates: Legend of The Black Kat, Electronic
Arts, I mean, they brought us, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, b-
ut I found The Prisoner of Azkaban more intense, the narrator s-
ays the most, come on! this is Harry's second longest adventure!
we need a break from Narrator Land! It's got some pros though...

Pros:

Mad Eye Moody is just as familiar as in the fanastic movie.
The ascend to the key on a Hogwarts tower while rain was just as
cool!
The Enchanted Forest was cool and daunt!

Cons:

Cedric, Fleur, and Viktor need a bigger role.
Igor Karkaroff or Madame Maxime are not in the game!
They skipped HALF the parts and chapters of the book and movie!
The Pensieve and all.
No exploring Hogwarts ..
----

The Electronic Games workers need to pay attention to the book
and movie before doing a game! 3/4 stars

Nice game, but no roaming around!!

I do not have this game yet, but I'm getting it for Christmas. The graphics, enviroments, and the trailers look excellent.But, lately I have been hearing people say that there is no roaming around at Hogwarts like the previous games, and instead you pick levels from a pensieve and collect tri-wizard shields to procede to the next level.Also,people were complaing about how bad the camera was. But, I think it will be a fun game while your waiting for the movie to come out or if your bored.

A very disappointing birthday gift.

I just received the UK Version for my birthday. Nothing like the previous HP games. Instead of improving the "adventure" game, they have taken the "adventure" out of it, along with the enjoyment! An enjoyable adventure game, has become yet another continuous "fighting" game. My hands were sore after playing for 20 minutes. In a world filled with way too many fighting, thug, and war games, these days good adventure games are hard to come by. There are many unenjoyable aspect to this games, but it would be too lengthy to go into them all. There is one thing I feel I must mention. With previous HP games, we had a choice of how we set our controllers, but with this new game, up is down, and down is up, and we could find no way to access or change the control format to correct this. Making play quite difficult at best. Of course, as with most fighting games, if the level is not completed, the entire level must be repeated again and again. Unless you can somehow manage to learn to function the controls in reverse. My husband & I are both very disappointed that one of our favourite adventure games, has been changed so drastically. We hope our review will inspire the programmers to do better. We enjoy our HP games, and so looked forward to this new games with great anticipation, only to find that the new game paled in comparison to the previous HP games. This is one purchase we will be sad to returned. There is no point in keeping a game we will never enjoy.

This Game is...

This is easily the stupidest Harry Potter movie, and game. Don't bother wasting your money (unless you already have; sucks for you) on this piece of crap. Complete junk. Boring, same stupid spells, no upgrades... The only difference in this game is the characters look older. Like, 16-7 year olds. Like they do in the movie. They should seriously keep actors that look younger. Not some hairy legged, big-chested gorillas that act like they're two year olds that keep throwing themselves onto one another due to raging hormones. Real big disappointment. Mike Cenzz, out.

Goblet of Fire Sucks!

This game is a waist of money. It is very short with no resale value. The movie is just a bad. I have lost faith in Harry Potter because of the idiots who designed this game and the movie!!
