Leave the nonmagical world behind and enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for Game Boy Advance.

Be Harry Potter, learning to master all things magical in a world filled with wizardry, fun and danger. Overcome adversity and challenges and encounter unforgettable characters from J.K. Rowling's worldwide bestseller.

As Harry Potter, players will hone their magical skills and advance through three terms of study during Harry's first year at Hogwarts. Each term will challenge players to meet a number of objectives, such as collecting and mixing potions with Professor Snape or piloting a flying broom through the Forbidden Forest in search of Neville Longbottom's Remembrall. In order to pass the first year of study players must complete over twenty-nine different objectives while avoiding enemies and obstacles.

The Game Boy Advance version takes advantage of the enhanced portable console to provide action-driven puzzles and mini-games that promise to capture the daring and adventurous spirit of Harry Potter. Players experience Harry Potter's world through an isometric 2D perspective, including top-down Quidditch and broomstick flying sequences that deliver the speed and excitement of competition. Scenarios such as chasing down Hagrid's runaway pets, learning to cast spells and negotiating the maze of Gringotts will add challenges and objectives while remaining true to the book's story line.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone features more than twenty characters from the novel, including Harry's friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley and Hogwarts professors, Dumbledore and Snape. Just as Harry did, players experience the adventure that is life at Hogwarts along with the challenge of finding the Sorcerer's Stone.
