When I got this game on GameCube in 2007, I realized that for some reason EA, Decided they should start the new era (Gamecube,Ps2,Xbox) with the Second book or movie first, making this 1 year later and also making it a prequel. Interesting Decision. But anyway, I decided to review this one first, because it takes place first chronologically.
When you pop in the game, you will notice that the graphics look very good for 2003, and at the time, games with choppy graphics were coming out, like Pokémon Sapphire/Ruby, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and The Sims 2
The sound is very good when it comes to Music, Because the creators made calming and natural music when you were exploring the grounds or going on your way to class, Silence when you are In stealth mode, VERY Intense Music when you are spotted and are making a run for it, And some nice boss music when you are in a battle with monsters. But on the other hand, the voice acting is kind of bad, and there is no personality in the dialogue, but because of the really good soundtracks, I still give it a high rating.
This game is also really addicting, and no matter how much patience you have, and whether or not you ragequit of a really tough boss, or a part of stealth you couldn't get past, this game will always have you crawling back to complete the game.
This game has a LOT to do. you will be doing Spell Challenges, In which you will gain these spells: Flipendo: A knockback jinx Lumos: Spell that turns your wand into a Flashlight, where you can find secret passages, and when near a gargoyle statue, you can light it up, and make magical platforms appear. Alhohomora: Spell that unlocks locked doors. Spongify: Spell that makes special carpets Mini-Trampolines Diffindo: Spell that cuts ropes and tapestries Incendio: Spell that makes Blue Fire. You will also need to find Ingredients for Potions, and If you don't you will have to delete your progress and find all of the potions when told to do so.
This game is a little hard, so if you want to complete it, It might take you up to 2 years to do so, but In the end, you will know that It was all worth it and you spent your time well. This game gets a overall score of 9.5 When I got this game on GameCube in 2007, I realized that for some reason EA, Decided they should start the new era (Gamecube,Ps2,Xbox) with the Second book or movie first, making this 1 year later and also making it a prequel.
