Harry potter undergoes his quest running along side the film. I found that there was parts missing from the film which is dissappointing however there are segments from the books for example the mentioning of Harmani and Ron being prefects. Gameplay
There is lots to do in this game which makes it fun. You can Interact with surroundings casting spells to undo umbridges doings such as reveille hidden idems, put paintings back on walls, talk to any character in the game and even the portraits etc. These are what makes the game what it is giving lots more to go on your way to your objectives. Fighting can be abit annoying as ron kept casting spells on me as he was behind me causing you to loose a fight when on hard. Overall the game play keeps you gripped bringing parts of the film and book to life.

Graphics
The graphics could be alot better concidering the power of the 360 however the creators have produced a rather large scale hogwarts and surrounding area for you to explore. Everything is recognisable as to what it is however at times the game feels a little tacky. The characters have enhanced faces taken directly from the real characters and the creators managed to gain the rights to use the music which would be dissappoining without it. Overall i'd say the graphics are bearable, they are not the worst ive seen but could of been less kiddyish if thats a word.

Controls
The main contol through the game is the right stick, you use rotation movements or up down, left right etc to cast different spells. The left stick is for moving around. Sometimes this causes problems because the camera can get stuck or not turn where you want it to go which can be fustrating at times however it doesnt spoil the game. Other contols are very simple and easy to use making them exceptional for the target audiance.

Extras
You get to earn points which allow you to watch video clips about the making of the film from different characters point of views which is quite cool.

Good points
Gameplay keeps you gripped to complete it.
Lots to do and find
Addictive at times.
Repeated comments from harmani are annoying. Would be better to just ask her yourself instead of her repeating herself over and over.
Massive area to explore.

Bad points
Ron and Harmani follow you everywhere and tend to get in the way
graphics could be better.
hard at times to change camera angle.
Lots of running around

6/10
