The only reason i bought this game was because im a HUGE harry potter fan... ive read all 7 book atleast 3 times and ahve seen every movie, and own all of them... i even own all but one of the main harry potter video games... that being said this game is not very good...

since i cannot post my full review which exceeded the ridiculously small character limit, ill shorten it up a bit.... the game is a rent, and only that if you are currently obsessed with harry potter and cant wait for the movie... the cut scenes are dumb and pointless, and you are unable to skip them... the potion making is fun, quidditch is pretty good, and the dueling is much better than before...

but there isnt much to collect, and wandering the castle seems much more of a chore than before, and the castle seems smaller on the inside, less rooms to go into, and too many doors that dont open... as well as places that are pointless and have nothing in them...

in short, the game is playable but anyone new to the story wouldn't get it, and those who know it would be appalled by the way its been butchered... so unless you REALLY need to play a Harry Potter game, steer clear...
