I would like to know your opinions on the best hp game, because I was thinking of getting one but I'm not sure which.


Can you help me out?

The latest one, Order of the Phoenix is definitely the best one. I believe that is the consensus from all of us here. But it's still an iffy game to buy, unless you're a hardcore Harry Potter fan and just want the game because "IT'S HARRY POTTER, MAN!!!" Mad Eye Moody

OOTP is the best so far.
However, i'm a big gamer and i found that i completed it in just two days.
Also the right analogue stick to cast spells was a good idea but could
have been excecuted better. I felt that the spells where require very similar
movements and i ended up just mashing it around. This is forgiven by the fact that
there aren't many battles and it's mostly exploration.

I've only played Ootp for Ps2, its pretty fun but i beat it so fast and once you beat it you can walk around hogwarts and play mini games but thats about it, i don't even know if you can get hurt in the game...lol... But i bet it would be pretty fun for Wii i heard you use the remote and sway it in the air to do spells!

To be honest, I really liked the Philosopher's stone, it rocked, even though it was released after the chamber of secrets (wtf) it was a great game, and OOTP is good too though.

I haven't played the OOTP yet, but I really like the COS one. The POA was pretty good too.

The Sorcerers stone was ok

I LOVED the Chamber of Secrets

I never got to play PoA but it looked fun

Goblet of Fire looked horrible

OoTP looks amazing, but it gets boring so fast

I gotta say CoS

If you don't have a 360, a good running PC or a Wii, then get Prisoner of Azkaban! It rocks!

Isn;t it pathetic I;ve only played the Sorcer's Stone for PC? My little bro is a big gamer, so I might have to get him to get it.

For anyone who has played OotP, are you only limited to playing Harry? Or can you go as someone else?

you get to be Dumbledore, Siruis, and Fred & George but only for a very short amount of time. Its really easy too, not much of a challnge and its insanely boring. I was disappointed with myself after about 2 hours of playing it. Its just not as good as it seems.

My personal favourite is OotP. I'm not sure what it's like on other consoles, but for the ps2, it's excellent. Especially the control system. You can just about interact with anything in the environment.

My favourite feature of it is that you can unlock rewards, which you can view in a reward room.

You can even challenge people to duels, if you want to. One thing is, unlike most games, you have no health bar, so you can't die, or get hurt.

Even though it's quite short, it's fun and entertaining. The graphics and music are very good. It sticks with the movie very well. You even see some of the characters from the book that didn't make it in to the movie. And you get nearly all of the movie actors voicing their own characters.

Of all of them, the OOTP videogame is the best so far.

Im surprised nobody mentioned Quidditch World cup. The game was kinda iffy, but I think it had so much potential.

Lol I've only ever played the philosophers stone on the PC and the PSone. Never tried it on the PS2. Chamber of secrets was my fave tho as it was jus FUN to play lol. I only ever played prisoner of azkaban ONCE when I rented it out for the PS2...It was not bad. Prob better than the chamber of secrets but I didn't get very far in it. Never played goblet of fire cos it jus looks RUBBISH...Well everyone says it is lol. And the order of the phoenix LOOKS like the best one I guess. But from wat most ppl are sayin: It seems a little too SHORT.
