I bought this game for PC right around the time it came out. I did not have an Xbox at the time. It was really fun on PC with lots of time to explore the castle, collect beans, play Quidditch, and trade beans for different items, not to mention learning magic.

I liked this game so much that when I got an Xbox 360 I decided to get this game for it as well.

I was very excited and the game was fun at first. It did have a recurring problem though, where the the picture moved very slow but the audio moved at regular speed. But it was really no big deal and I kept playing the game. The environment around the school was very cool and it was fun exploring the castle.

Then it started getting really challenging when you would sneak out at night or do a "Spell book challenge." Like many people have said before, the camera angles do not do anything to help you jump in the right direction. This led to falling off of a platform and losing all of the beans I might have been carrying. It was extremely frustrating. Also books, ghosts, and flying jars for some reason attack you, causing you to drop your beans. The fire crabs get extremely annoying too.

Overall I was not too impressed. At times it was fun but mostly just frustrating. To be honest, I would much rather play the game on PC. There is so much more to do and it is so much more fun.

This game is the worst game I have ever played! ok, so not as bad as Syberia for xbox but bad enough that I would rate it 2 stars! even though the storyline is ok, the game ended to quickly. Also, the battle scenes (Harry practicing his magic on the washing machine) was very fake and very boring. The washing machine moved in a pattern all the time so there was no surprise to what it would do next.

If you ever want to play this game, I suggest that you should be able to withstand the annoying save games (you can't allways save the game whenever you want). So go ahead and give it a try if you aren't afraid of wasting your money.
Extremely fun but too short - Reviewed on 2004-07-13

ok so basically when I bought this game I couldnt wait to play it. it was really addicting but then all of the sudden I was at the basilisk. all in all, its super fun but its too short. (the quidditch is my favorite part) I ended up beating it in 2 days. I was just disappointed. the voices in this game dont even resemble the real voices of the characters. ok so there's only 6 days and on each day you do 1 class except for like 1 day you do 2 classes. Iwould not recommend this game to people who like slightly challenging games. its cute for little kids but i give it one thumb up.

This game is great. I would question the buttons and handling myself but the magic and action makes up the missiong star. This is a great game for anyone.
