..."Prisoner of Azkaban" is any good...the other three are older and have relatively primitive graphics and mediocre gameplay -- far be it from EA Games to go back and update older games to match newer games...however, what dragged the rating down to a single star was EA Games customer service...my set came without the serial numbers needed to install the games!...I emailed their customer service who then insisted I snail mail proof of purchase and a photocopy of the white strip on the back of the jewel case to their office in California...once verified they would send me the needed numbers by return snail mail...are they kidding?!...what a JOKE!...anyway, I went online and after about five MINUTES of searching found a "warez" site that allowed me to download the serials for free!...and also bear in mind that the games REQUIRE the CD to be in the computer when playing even if you transfer the entire game onto your hard drive.
This games are GREAT fun...but

I am the biggest Harry Potter fan and when I founf out that they were coming out I couldn't be happier, and I wasn't dissappointed!
Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone
Classic, A very fun game to play on a cold winter day. My one complaint is the quidditch can be a bit hard to play, and the classroom assingment could also be hard if you don't have a good mouse. I also at the end get pretty hard. I only beat Voldmort once. 4/5
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secerts
What ever problem there were with Sorcerer's stone, they fixed in Chamber of secerts. The quidditch is much smoother, the classroom assingment has nothing to do with the mouse. My only complaint is that the classroom challanges are a bit long. 4/5
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Without a doubt the best one yet. I look great, it a bit challanging but also fun. The classroom assingment are so much fun that you want more of them. 5/5
Harry Potter and the quidditch world cup
yeah, this is where the BUT comes in. This game is not the best game in the series but i guess it worth a look if your getting for free. 2/5
I LOVE IT!

I am a ten year old and I loved the first three games (I don't have the quiddich game). I like the second game the most because you get to chouse were you go and when you like. Unlike in the first game, you don't have to go to class rite when some kid says it's time.
Bad Idea!

I wish I didn't order this game. My children are fans of Harry Potter. I am sure the games are good but the biggest problem is that it came with no serial number issues therefore I have to pay MORE than absoutely neccessary! I had to buy new codes for my games so that they can be unlocked for my children to play. I ordered this in april and It is still unplayable because they want to inspect the cds to make sure it is not hot! It is not worth the trouble!

This item was shipped to me from Amazon.com with no serial numbers on the jewel case so it won't even install. It looks like people had problems with The Sims game as well. EA's website will give you a serial number replacement but it will cost you $10.00.
Love it!

For those looking on the jewell case for the codes, please just look on the back of the MANUAL that comes with the game before you go giving it a bad rating. Just because you cant figure it out does not mean the game is bad.
That said I love the game, the graphics are lower end but they are older games. The puzzles are fun and I am really enjoying it more then I thought I would.
The reason for the 4 stars is the fact that you will have problems installing if you have more then 1 profile on your computer, to me that is a bad idea. Lots of us have more than 1 profile on our pc.
The game is loads of fun with a good replay value in my opinion.
FUN Games

All 4 games in here are fun. There's little character changes in the gnomes, imps, etc. from one game to the other. The PoA game you get to be Ron, Hermione & Harry - which is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
The kids will really enjoy.
The only irritating thing was having to keep the cd in the disk tray even after installing the games, in order to play them. If you ask me, that's just penalizing the actual buyer for the potential of someone else pirating the stuff - and if you can pirate it, then you can create an autoexec for it...
Loads of fun for the whole family!

I am currently playing the sorcerers stone. It is very fun. I like all of the puzzles. One thing that I don't like is that there is no freedom to wander around the castle. It is still very fun though.
I am excited to play the other games that come in this set.
