OK, this game is kinda good and I like it a bit.
The graphics are not so good and the bean challenges are sorta hard. The Basililsk is so dumb it like shoots little green thingies out of its mouth at you and you never get the sword. If I were to remake this game I would have you fight basililsk with sword, have you be able to fly the car, have more spells, make gringotts a little easier, and change the invisibility cloak(you find it in the hallway and it makes you invisible for a little while then goes back to where you found it-but is an advantage, its very hrd to sneak by Snape otherwise).

This is not worth your money, unless you are a Harry Potter total mainaic.

THIS IS NOT HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE WORST GAME BOY GAME EVER!!!!!!

To start, this game has HORRIBLE GRAPHICS!!!!! Why is it that when you are in a "movie sequence", that you walk around like you have all the time in the world, and then when you control Harry, he move like he's about to miss the bus! Then, you see Moaning Myrtle, who looks like a chandelier! And what is with the music in hagrid's hut? It sound's like the theme song for "happy happy hagrid and his animal friends". Then, the music when you are anywhere else is a variation of the same Un-harry-potterish theme ever! Then it sound's like you'r getting abducted by aliens when you shoot a spell!

The storyline is HORRIBLE. It does not follow the story at all. Why is it that you take so much effort to get to aragogs lair, just to watch a little movie with Harry walking away, as calmly as possible to the car without a battle with Aragog? And why is Percy gaurding Fred & Georges shop? You'd think he'd just send a letter to Mrs. Weasly to tell her to punish them! Then, you have to "tickle" the painting of the fruit, to get to the "safer" passegeway to the shop, full of giant spiky bowling balls trying to kill you. Then, you have to go through "Prefect Palace" to get the potions book, to get you'r pollyjuice potion! How hard is it to find Lochart and ask him for one signiture? Also, the whomping whillow doesn't move ONE INCH. And what's all this stuff in Gringotts? I never remembered in the book that Harry had to battle fire breathing turtles, crossed treacherous bridges full of giant fireballs hitting him on the head, or carts full of jellybeans! In fact, I never read that Harry spent anymore time than five minutes in Gringotts! I also don't remember Harry having to dodge barrels falling from the sky, and find floo powder in the leaky cauldron!Or evil gnomes running around the grounds attacking people! But probably the most frustrating thing is climbing the stairs. And why do you only take to classes a year? I doubt the writers of this game even read the book or even saw the movie. I wonder how many people they hired to mess up the game?

What is with these locked doors? Why are some doors locked with giant yellow robot cogs and some by cut up devils snare? And then, of course, Dumbledores Office door is covered with glitter. Why not just make the doors LOCKED?

I think the makers of this game purposefully made it bad. Or mabey they were paying so much attention to adding another floor so they could have the "floor 6 bonus" to care?

I think I am in for a treat

After looking at the screen shots, I am sure I am in for a big treat. This game rocks. Though I am totally dissappointed by the first game, I am sure this is going to make up for it. I am so excited. Hope this game keeps up my expectations.

Get GBC it's better

I got this game for Christmas and beat it with in days. I was shocked at the easiness of the game. I also own Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for GBC and that was really cool the graphics were bad but the story was awesome. It included things that the movie forgot and was a better game. U had better abilities and more of a challenge. This game was just simple a baby could beat it. I was expecting better because of GBA but I was very disappointed but it gave me a few hours of fun.

Great Game!

Although I expected a lot more from this game, I would have to say that the current features are satisfactory for a GBA game. You don't really get to interact or experience that you are in a "wizarding world" as much as the PS2 version, but it should keep you pretty busy for a while. One reason is the limited technology on GBA that the publisher can't make the game as detailed or as long as the PS2 or Game Cube version. However, this should satisfy a lot of people, especially for kids 12 and under and Harry Potter fans. I would have to say that the graphics are excellent. Much better than the Game Boy Color one. The game is not really difficult, but there are still some levels that will challenge your skills, such as your first flying lesson (which took me a while) and the jelly bean challenges. Overall, it's a pretty good Harry Potter game for GBA.

yikes

i expected much, much more from this game. i thought that after harry potter and the sorceror's stone came out on gba, the makers would realize how horrible this game is. it starts off okay with a cute little intro to the game, but it just goes downhill from there. going up and down stairs is extremely difficult and quidditch is almost unbearable. there are many times when you have no clue what to do or where to go because there is no direction whatsoever. when i got this game, i expected a whole lot more. maybe the people who realeased this should have spent more time on creating a quality game instead of focusing on the quantity.

cool game

My favorite part was earning spells and wizard trading cards. I didn't really understand the game until I got past Gringotts. Messages from the owls were very helpful. I had fun beating the trolls, too. It's hard to catch the golden snitch. The game kept me challenged for a couple of months until I finally beat it. The basilisk was really easy to beat at the end of the game. I recommend it to any Harry Potter fan.

Its ok I guess

I just got the GBA for Christmas and including the game Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets I wanted to get Godzilla Domination but when I went to the store and saw the back off the game and saw how horrible the graphics were I changed my mind. The Harry potter game has great graphics I know I don't know much about the GBA since I just go it but when I played that harry potter game I felt like I was watching a movie on a DVD player! The story line is great although I kinda didn't understand it. It would have made sense if I didn't keep skipping over it because I was so excited about playing the game. The things I didn't like about it was that you had to collect things and when I beat the game (in two days)I didn't finish collecting everything and I felt like I really didin't beat the game. ANother thing I didn't like was when you play the game over again after you beat it you start to realize they talk a little too much. I'm 14 about to be 15 in 3 weeks if your'e like 7, 8 or 9 or if you just got the GBA this would be a great game for you.

It was ok

This was my second Harry Potter game, the first being Sorcerer's Stone on GBC. I loved this game!

Okay, so I'm one of the older people into games, but it was a nice challenge. Keeping me busy at the doctor's office, when I needed sleep but couldn't, and other activities too boring to mention.

The graphics were okay, much better than GBC. In reality, GBC sucked! After completing COS I went out and bought this one for GBA. Unfortunately, rule #1 is never buy it used. I need to purchase a NEW one!!

There are lots of things to turn, but it was never boring playing this game!! GET IT!!
