I played this after finishing "Sorcerer's Stone" for the XBox, and getting halfway done "Chamber of Secrets". I have found this to be the best installment of this license yet. The cameras are pretty user friendly, and switching between the playable characters is easier than I expected. The control scheme was pretty decent, and the change in graphics style worked for me. My only complaint is that the game wasn't longer. It's nice to play a game where the other characters kick in and do some of the work, though you do have to try to get out of the way when the spells are being cast, or you will get hit. And there could have been a bit better instruction for the "Hippogriff" and "Owl Racing" challenges. Figuring out whether you need to hold the button in or hit it repeatedly eats up a bit too much time. Overall, I really enjoyed this game, and I'm already thinking about replaying it. Can't really say the same for the previous 2. I really hope the next one, if there IS a next one, is done the same as "Prizoner of Azkaban" as far as controls and graphics, even if storyline doesn't allow for the use of Ron and Hermione as playable.
