Pretty much like the movies. I like the first and The Prisoner of Azkaban, but the rest are poo to me. Wouldn't expect too much from a game based on it though. Just don't see it translating all that well. IDK though.

i think the world of Harry potter could translate fantastically. they just never put the talent or the budget behind one of those games to make it good

I guess it could. I've just never experience a really good game based off a movie, so IDK what to look for. :P Now, if they made a game based in that universe, but not based directly on the movies, then I think it would work much, much better.

Not too sure there has been one just based on the universe and not tied in to the games.

I think a prequel that involves Dumbledore would be pretty gnarly. They could make up some awesome battles back in the heyday of Dumbledore's prime.

The first one for PC was pretty good for its time. And the game for the second movie on the Game Boy Color was quite fun too.

To be honest i don't see the world translating well into games, not good enough bounds in the magic and creatures(I only saw the movies, sorry of it was better in the books). But i am not a fan...

Pretty much any versions of Chamber of Secrets beside the PS1 version since I didn't try that one, the GBC version of the Sorcerer's Stone, and the console and PC version of Prisoner of Azkaban. All of them are at least decent, a few being pretty darn good.

I didn't mind The Chamber of Secrets on the GC. Although it was a little short once you knew how to beat everything.

the universe of harry potter is PERFECT for a game. Its already got tons of monsters, an awesome setting, good characters, pretty much built in game mechanics with all of the magic stuff, and the spells would work great as powers.

it would translate fantastically

Harry Potter is not the only licensed property with bad games. Actually, it's pretty common.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the PC were awesome. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and Chamber of Secrets for the GBC were very cool. The best was probably Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the GBA, it was a darned good RPG.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on the PC. A bit clunky, but it fully encompasses what I'd expect from a HP game. Also, I liked HP5 somewhat on the newer generation consoles, though it gets tedious after some time.

A much better question would be has there been anything outside of the Harry Potter books that weren't terrible?

The answer is no, only the books are worth reading, everything else is, for lack of a better word, HOGwash..... teehee. :P

OK, they're not TERRIBLE, but I wouldn't call them great either.
