I like playing games that are fun and that I can actually finish, simple games. So I enjoyed the fact SS didn't take me a month to beat (or never beat at all, which is mostly the case with me). I had fun with the puzzles and learning the spells. Play for me was quite enjoyable. I also like that some elements of the game (if not the story itself) seems more akin to canon (the book) than the movie. There are some problems. Auto-jump, it's annoying not having a jump button and hoping you run or stop for just the right jump, especially when you want to control your jump into the unknown. The camera angles are bad at times, sometimes you're shooting off a spell and hoping it hits it's target or (as mentioned) jumping into the unknown. But mostly I was satisfied. The save spots are annoying. There are some difficult task where I wish there was a save spot and there wasn't one (they should let you save anywhere). The PS1 character graphics could be better too (but I thought the castle/grounds were well done). Also, I which they would let me skip some of the storybook stuff on repeated task/plays and sometimes they don't let you.

I'm GLAD the chess game wasn't real chess (since I suck), I would have never won. My favorite parts were racing Peeves and Gringotts (gathering coins in the cart, not collecting the forms). And Quidditch is cool, except you can't really lose. Sneaking around behind Filch in your invisibility cloak is cool, but I don't understand why it doesn't work without the invisibility tolken. (the bloody bird in Olivanders in annoying, but just chase him down and stay on his tail until the feather fills up, he always follow the same path)

I'd recomend it for a novice adult player (like myself) or a kid player, for them this game is perfect and fun. Both myself and the kids at my house enjoy it. Even though what I REALLY want is Quidditch World Cup.

you love It, you hate It

I absolutly love harry potter. I have all the books and movies so far and I got this game almost as soon as It came out. I loved It!! It wasn't all that challinging until I got up to the diagon ally. and thats where I am now. The mine carts gave me a big problem and I can't cach that dumb bird!! I started the game over 3 times so I could pick up things I forgot and each time I got stuck at that bird! It really made me mad becouse I love this game and I wanted to see what comes next. overall this game is great. It's easy to learn and quidich is sooooo much fun but I can't give It a 5 becouse I havent played all of It.

Um....

I really hoped that the PlayStation game would be a great one. After I saw the movie, I decided to buy the game, cuz it sounded neat. Well...the game is a bit disappointing. I expected much more than Harry running around, trying not to be late for class, casting spells, etc. But that's practically ALL that he does. The beginning of the game was interesting, but then you start trying to collect beans, run... errands, blah-blah-blah. Even thought I LOVE platform/adventure games, this didn't work out for me. I got to 60 something % and just quit. It was a bit challenging after the beginning, but then it just got WAY to easy and short, so I dropped this game and choose Ape Escape. Now, Ape Escape is a WAY better game than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, so if you want a great platform game, choose APE ESCAPE! And the Harry Potter movie was better than the game, so either just watch the movie or rent it, DON'T BUY IT!
