Probably the best in the series.

This is a great game and is terribly underrated (by gamespot's review). The castle and it's grounds are huge and beautifully made. Walking around the whole place, especially outside, is really eye candy. As for the gameplay, it does lack a bit, but I think for what is there is really fun. I love making potions, I thought that was done really well. Dueling is great too, the analog stick is a bit of a pain at first, but you get use to it.

Quidditch is pretty fun, though I would of liked a bit more control over flying, sometimes I feel I could just let go of the controller and it would do it all itself! Lol.

Gamespot's review seems to keep comparing it to the book, but from what I can tell, the games are more based off from the movies. And in the movie, there wasn't much of anything else but making potions in Slughorn's class and playing quidditch.

While it's short, it has replayability in my opinion. I'm definitely going to play it all over again. It's a must grab for any HP fan, and at least a rent for anyone else.

    I've been a fan of Harry Potter ever since the first book, Sorcerer's Stone, came out. I've read all the books and seen all the movies. I thought the first two movies were really good, the third decent, the fourth mere... Read Full Review
