Im not a huge harry potter fan, but this game should be an interesting one to watch. It should sell out very quickly to kids, so reserve yours today.

The game is based on the hit book series by JK rowling. In the GBA game, you must survive the first year at Hogwarts. This game is made Electronic Arts game. You play the Role of Harry potter exploring Hogwarts in his first year as a student wizard. You must enter classes with Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasly and master 29 skills that are used in the book. You must also overcome challenges that come each term, such as looking for Hagrid's lost pets or finding the sorcerers stone itself.

It should be a hit among kids and will sell out very quickly. EA sure knows how to make a lot of money. There is also a GBC counterpart to this GBA game, which should also sell well.

I think that this game will be phenomenal. If the books sold out on the first day, imagine how quick the game will sell out. I recommend this game to Harry Potter fans. Even if you don't like Harry Potter you should take a look at it anyway.

Harry Potter A Great Game

Harry Potter is a great game for kids and adults. Kids will love it because of the use of one of the most well known characters, and adults will love it because its educational and will keep their kids entertained.

Marvelous

I just bought this game, and i didn't think it would really be that good. But I liked Potter so I tried it and I loved it. Im very impressed. Good graphics and smooth controls. The challenges are fun and entertaining. Just be sure to have lots of light while you play, because the graphics are on the darker side. BUY THIS GAME!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!

I got this game the other day and I find it really hard to put down. It has some very frustrating points, for me anyway, because you have to figure out a lot of the moves on your own without directions. You play as Harry and you have to complete different tasks to finish your first year at Hogwarts. This game doesn't rely on lives but you want to save as often as you can so that you do not lose any progress. I found the advance flying setting to be easier to use because it will react like a normal game control should. I'd say this is a good game for the 8 and up crowd, not bad for grownups either.

Gameplay: bad. Everything else: good.

Gameplay: bad. Everything else: good.

This game attempts to combine a puzzle-game with the Harry Potter storyline, but it doesn't do the job too well.
The gameplay is a little like the classic 'Socoban' (push crates around) with a few added moves (levitate objects, knock-back enemies, fall down holes...). But despite this potential complexity, the puzzles never really get any harder: the whole thing is mostly just too easy. (Worse, where it is not easy, it can be frustrating.)

Depth and replay value are supposed to be provided by 'Pumpkin Pasties' (health power-up) and 'Witches and Wizards' cards (collect them all for a better ending). But since some of the doors to these items only unlock at arbitrary points during the game, searching for them is just not fun.

In the game's favour, the graphics and sound are all excellent, there are plenty of different 'Every-flavour' bean flavours, and the NPCs have plenty of interesting quips.

Overall: if you want a fun game, get the PSX version. If you want a game that is true to the book, get the GBC version. If you want a good puzzle game, this is not it.

HP is great as ever

The game is great, and i would give it a 5 but some parts are pointless puzzles and are very complicated. Good buy though.
