“Unannounced” Harry Potter Project

Normally I only write reviews after movies or games have already been released and I have had a chance to see them or play them. I am going to break from tradition for a moment and provide some speculation. Earlier today while writing a review about a video game, I visited James Hannigan’s website to do…

Review: Deathly Hallows Part 1 Game

From start to finish: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a much more difficult game than I had previously anticipated, compared with the relative ease of the previous games to complete. Also by comparison, this is the only game in the franchise that is not set within Hogwarts. (The Goblet of Fire video game did…

Review: Half-Blood Prince Game

From start to finish: Where Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix gave me what I really wanted out of a Harry Potter game–authentic free exploration of a realistic Hogwarts–Half-Blood Prince really improved on that concept. Even more previously inaccessible locations were added to Hogwarts (thanks to the Aurors for opening them), making the…

Review: Deathly Hallows Part 2 Game

From start to finish: I understand that I’m writing these last few reviews of the Harry Potter video game franchise out-of-order. I vastly preferred this game to its predecessor, Deathly Hallows Part 1, in part because this game features Hogwarts, where the previous one did not. Of course, the story for the Deathly Hallows Part…

Review: Order of the Phoenix Game

From start to finish: I do believe I have died and gone to heaven. Hands down, this has to be my favorite video game. However, before I give it too much praise, let me first share some critique that caused me more amusement than frustration. The makers of the game, prior to its release, bragged…

Review: Goblet of Fire Game

I’ve decided that it’s necessary as a Harry Potter website owner to go out and buy the Goblet of Fire computer video game and experience so that I could review it here. I really didn’t like this game. Here, I’m going to list the many changes made from the previous games, especially Prisoner of Azkaban,…

Review: Prisoner of Azkaban Game

Has this game changed from the previous one? Of course it has! How do they compare? Well that’s why you’re reading this page. The Prisoner of Azkaban may have been much shorter than the previous game, but it has changed much, and so I have much to write here. I’m currently using the review of…

Review: Quidditch World Cup Game

First, I should probably point out that this page will be used to compare the Quidditch World Cup game to both of the previous games, since it isn’t a “normal” game so to speak, meaning that it isn’t an action/adventure game based upon any particular book or movie, but more of a sports game. The…

Review: Chamber of Secrets Game

I would like to say that EA made an amazing amount of improvements from Sorcerer’s Stone to Chamber of Secrets, or all that I would have made anyway. I’ve really analyzed the first two games, and have come up with every improvement or general change that I can think of between the two games. This…
