Customer Reviews

Controls not explained!
Let me start off with the good things:
-the graphics are phenomenal
-you can choose your character
Now, the bad things:
-unlike the other HP games, you CANNOT wander around the Hogwarts grounds, which I enjoyed.
-The mouse has NO action whatsoever, not even in the main menu!
-I get stuck on so many levels, because most controls are NOT EXPLAINED! Not even in the manual!
-your "friends" (whoever you're not playing with) are so slow in following you and are almost always occupied with sneezing or wandering around when you need help so badly!
-I tried to install this game for one full year and never got it to install until I did some tricky things

Overall, I would have rated this game five stars if the bad things were fixed.
I think that EA Games was just porting over a Play Station game (I can tell by the graphics style) and not bothering to make it anymore convenient. EA did a poor job here. I would sort of recommend this game.

The worst. Period.
I LOVED the first four (SS, CoS, TPoA, and QWC) games.
The first one was a little too easy (I beat it in three days after some practice), the second one being a bit too hard (I have a fear of fire snails), the Third one and Quiddich World Cup being perfect.

When I bought the first game I was expecting another GREAT game. But here is what I got: graphics that were grainy, NO exploring, and no fun trunks with goodies. it was a HARD game, and i'm still stuck on the second task. I can't believe I decided to buy PetVet later because I wanted this. Here's hoping you can explore in the fifth one.

The WORST game I ever wasted money on!
I wish there was a ZERO in the fun/overall ratings choices, because I would have given it a zero in both categories. It was a total waste of my money.

I got it because I liked the other Harry Potter games so much ... MISTAKE. It is NOTHING like the other Harry Potter games. I should have read the many BAD reviews of this game first!

This game is entirely linear - you cannot go wandering around the grounds and explore, as in the other Harry Potter EA games. The characters do not interact well, in fact when the three characters are supposed to be casing a spell together the other characters are often otherwise occupied. Their tasks are obscure and not well defined.

This game was not made for a PC. Further it was not made for anyone who is casually gaming, or in it for the fun of exploring the Harry Potter world. The game 'mood' (environment) is dark and unpleasant. The only good thing I can say about the game is that the graphics are well done.
