Enter the wizarding world as Harry Potter himself in a gassed up version of the movie. With Ron and Hermione by your side throughout the entire game, you must complete certain tasks and learn new magic until the final battle with Vuldi himself. To the movie fans, this is good news because this game is very identical to the movie.

The Tri-Wizard Tournament:

Just like the movie, Harry gets chosen to participate in three dangerous tasks known as the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Travel the exterior of Hogwarts and beyond as you work your way up to the final fight with Lord Voldemort. You can also play mini games to earn magic beans which help to increase your abilities. Unlock the three tournaments as you play through the levels and Professor Moodys challenges.

The three tournament tasks are way fun. In the first one you have to ride your broom in an effort to escape a fire breathing dragon. The second task is an underwater mission in which some of your friends must be rescued from sea creatures. The final task is the maze, but if you have seen the movie then you already know all of this. Finally you get to kick The Dark Lords behind in the graveyard.

I thought this game would be boring, but it proved to be very entertaining and I couldn’t put it down. The first few levels follow no real order so you can play those levels in any way you want, and go back when you want. You have to collect magic shields to progress and some of them are hidden. You must solve little puzzles in order to find some of them which has always been a favorite of mine, but for the most part they are easy to find. The mini games are the type where you must flip a picture and match it with another and so forth so if you don’t feel like playing the real game, you have these to play. A plus to this game is that you get to equip yourself with spells inbetween levels, so if you know what your up against you can plan ahead.

Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, and Fun:

The graphics and sound are ok, but it would have been better if the real actors would do the voices. The response time for spells and the attacks is off by a fraction of a second so you kinda have to think ahead. If you get the controls down and your comfortable with casting spells then your going to have a good time playing this game. The only problem I really had was the response time. If this game had spot on controls, it would be a lot better but all in all it’s still a great game.

I recommend this game to fans and non fans alike. The developers could have really messed this game up if they didn’t try, but it turned out to be a great game. If you missed out on this one and you like the series, go out and pick up a used copy. You won’t regret it.
