i was impressed with the speed in which i received this item. This was part of a group of Harry Potter gifts that i ordered for my son's birthday. He was so excited to get all of his Harry Potter gift's that he took them all to college with him and is the hit of his dorm. His room was designated "the room" to hang out in. when he and his friends are not in class maintaining their 4.0 GPA's, they are busy playing this new and magical game! Thank you for helping me make his birthday a magical experience,
Sincerely, K. Kurtz

NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT VERY GOOD

For one thing, I will say this game's not too awful but there are a number of problems that need to be addressed. For one, missions aren't very exciting, and they almost feel like fetch-quests like you see in RPGs. When it comes to broom riding the controls are awful, and I failed broom test flights numerous times because of the controls, and you have to repeat the course every time you fail. So, because of this I found myself yelling constant obscentities. The graphics are awful (Come on ! Consoles in this time period had better capabilities than this !), and the character voices sound terrible. This game feels like it tries to imitate RPGs too much, and falls flat on its face in the process. The game doesn't take much to complete either (I completed 29% of the game in just over an hour). With that said, this game doesn't suck, but it's not very deep or exciting either.

This game is a pretty nice one once you get into it quite far. But the most frustrating part is when go to Diagon Alley with about 70% of the game done. Other than that the game is very enjoyable.

The Best Things are:

Hogwarts is very nice and a great place to explore.

Hagrid, Professor Dumbeldore, Ron, Hermonie and Malfoy are all in the game

Diagon Alley is a GREAT PLACE to explore

You get to ride a broomstick and play Quidditch

You get to earn House Points for Gryffindor and lead them to the House Cup

Harry attends Charms, Herbology, Defense against the Dark Arts, Potions and Transfiguration classes

Learn Spells like Flipendo, Alohomora, Incendio and many more!

Where the Invisibility Cloak to sneak past Mr. Filch and his cat Mrs. Norris

Fight against Voldemort

Matches against Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle

Retrieve items for Hagrid, Snape and many other people

Fight creatures like Venomous Tentactula and a flying Gargoyle

Collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans for Fred and George to gain entrance to portraits which have secret and powerful items

Collect Chocolate Frog Cards that are scattered all over the Castle and grounds

Collect Choclate Frogs to regain Stamina

Overall This is a Classic Which One of the BEST!!!!!!

I loved it, but I still think it's okay.

I have owned this game for like forever. When I first played it, (I wasn't a Harry Potter fan and was was like younger than 10) I got scared to death by Peeves and got stuck in Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson. I gave up and didn't start playing it until I was 12 and a Harry Potter Fan. Bacisly, young children will not like this game unless you turn the sound off and they know how to read (It has subtitles) or you read for them (It scared my friend's little sister who's a fan of Harry Potter so bad that I had to show her it's okay once you get past Peeves). If you are older and a fan, you will simply enjoy it. Now, the graphics aren't that good (You don't even see the mouth's moving, will atleast not in the PC version) and there were a few times were I got stuck. The game is really fun once you get a hang of it, but sadly it it almost impossible to beat You-Know-Who (I've started games for months and I'm still haven't beat him yet and I have a walkthru too). This is the ideal gift for Harry Potter Fans.

If you are confused about my comments about the game, perhaps you are thinking about remake of this game which is a bit better. Thank you for reading and I hope this review has helped you decide what might be in your future collection.

This game gets boring if you play it for a while. The further that you get, the more repetitve and boring it becomes. Graphics stink, but what can you expect from a PS1 game?

Great For All Ages

Ok, I'll cut to the chase. I've never read any of the Harry Potter books but love playing these games. They stick pretty close to the storyline (from what I've seen in the movies,) and although not incredibly difficult, are extremely fun to play. I'm a teenager, yet still enjoy casting spells and collecting the chocolate frogs. The game has good gameplay and dialogue with plenty of variety. Still, it has a few downfalls: 1) Jumping and doing special maneuvers can be difficult with the controls. 2) Save Points: You kind of have to play for a while to be able to save. This can be frustrating if you're really far and die or really have to turn off the game but haven't gotten a chance to save. *Otherwise the game is awesome. I highly recommend all 2, soon to be 3 games in the series.

In this game the people look like a cross between dead moles, and squirrels.(especially Dumbledore.) In quidditch it's not good! you go way too slow , and have to fly through dumb rings. Fluffy looks like a big blob of chocolate. in the corrider it's stupid! Filch just sits there yelling his head off hoping someone will hear him, when nobody but you him and his cat are there! The only thing he says is "Intruder, Intruder in the forbidden corrider!" or "Oh, we are in trouble now aren't we?!" You can only wear the invisibility cloak for five seconds! I mean in the game you don't even have fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I approve

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.
