Harry potter was a big hit with the film . It was also big with its books and sold alot . The game then also got quite alot sold but i didnt really like it that much . This is probably because im not a harry potter fan. The game although does have quite alot to it and is quite good . Its got things you seen in the movie and you do things that you had seen in the movie. First you start off at your house and stay there and go to ron weeslys house. Ron is your friend and he is a friend from hogwarts. You do quite alot of tasks here at Rons house. You do things like help his dad . and find cards. Then soon the magic will come in to it. You will then be using your wond to do such things like have duel with Ron and his 2 brothers. Also you do things like learn new things with your wand . The soon after all that you begin your jurney to hogwarts. Then whilst in hogwarts you do different tasks with your teachers like flying through circles in a certain amount of time. You do much more and this is all quite fun and challenging. You thn meet up with your other friend hermyny. And you 3 will be doing things and see things no other person will have in hogwarts. It can be a bit scary at times as it so big and creepy, easpecially when you inside and your walking in a dark place because you dont know what will come out. In the school you also have to do many tasks. Things you may have seen in the film you will have to do things like that. The hogwarts school is designed well and looks like it would . But at the start its a bit different

The graphics are genarally quite good. At the start the graphics are a bit cartoony but then when you get to hogwarts the graphics look better . When you are looking at the story lines then the games story graohics aren't actually as good as they should be . There better when your playing. The graphics for the outside of hogwarts is another good thingd but hogwarts graphics are very good so its just the starting few tasks which aren't as good. So overall the graphics are good just not that good at the start.

The sound is good aswell. The characters sound like they do sound normally. The sounds of the story lines are very good though. They really talk well and its understandble. This is good as you know whats going on and what you will need to do in your next task because some story lines in the game explain what you have to do for them.

The game play is acutally quite good. Not as good as standerwise as the sound and game play but its still good. The screen isn't brilliant and i think that could be improved . The controls are actually hard to know because when your doing things like broom and going through the circles there different controls so it can be a bit confusing.

Overall the game is good but thats if its your type of game. If your a fan of harry potter its your type of game and get it. If you liked the movie or the book then again get this game as you will like it. If you liked any of his other games than thats another reason to get it as it is a good adition to his games.
