I've played for about three hours, pretty fun.

If anyone is thinking about getting it and has any specific questions about the gameplay or anything, I can try to answer your questions.

You got it? How fun is it?

Well since it's on Wii, you have the power in your hands, flicking the remote like a wand in different motions.

On a scale of 1-10 for just fun, I'd give it a 8.5 or a 9. I haven't got to do many duels yet though so that could come up.

What do you do in the beginning?

You fight off the dementors but it's nothing exciting, very short, you just shake the wii mote like mad.

Then you go to 12 Grimmauld Place and Sirius teaches you like 3 spells then you get to Hogwarts really quick where you run into some people and go up to the common room and explore a little bit.

The first 30 minutes is really an introduction to the game and how to use spells and play but after that you are more free to do what you want and that's cool.

At the moment I have to find like 22 more people around the castle to tell them about the first DA meeting

how do you move?

with the nunchuck stick that attaches to the wii mote.

They have pretty good movements too when you run, looks realistic to me.

It's rather simple to control.

yeah I could see them using this as a basis model for a Massively Multiplayer Online Harry Potter video game, which would just be toooo sweeet

Tell me what else you do!!! Do Hermione and Ron look real?

yeah they look real, i'm sure they look better on 360 and PS3 even. A lot of the characters have the actor's voice overs as well.

You can pretty much talk to anyone in the castle, some of them just blow you off and a lot of people just randomly yell at you as you run by and say "Potter stinks"

My Review:

Graphics (9/10)- Not to bad some points in the game didn't look right but it was really good compared to the other HP games.

Sound (8.5/10)- I found the sound to be really good, not to many promblems.

Camra (7/10)- I found the camra really hard to work with sometimes. Mostly when you where going up and down stairs, or if you where in a tight place.

Controls (7.5/10)- Some spells are glitchy and are hard to remember. It would work better on a regular game pad but it does add more gameplay.

Gameplay (8.5/10)- There is alot of things to do in the game as well as lots of exploring (a step up from GOF). After you beat the game there s not that much to do though, other than completing the rewards in the game.

Overall- Its a good game and the best out of any of the HP games.

I am really enjoying the game so far, but I am having trouble with the controls, too. The camera angles are starting to bother me a bit, also. But overall, it is def. my favorite of the games.

I think the sound is a 10, the music is fantastic and crystal clear

Nah, not just a duel game, I want them to make an entire world. See Everquest and Worlds of Warcraft, only have it totally based in the magical world. I want to duel but I want to team up with other players and fight bad guys, magic creatures, build up skills, have a total roleplaying experience online. Dueling is such a small part of what they could do.

I mean, if Pirates of the Caribbean can have it's own MMORPG and so can Star Wars, why not Harry Potter's world.

They really should make a harry ptoter game thats free-roaming. So basically a non-linear game, kidna like elder scrolls or diablo. you just roam around and do watever but thers still different things for you to do. start young, grow up, learn differnet things and basically use the world and characters of HP but also make your own. idk i thik itd be muchb better then playing a game as linear as the ones out now.
