i know but OOTP was the best so far so staying true both with the film and sorta with book, plusit had great graphics and the voice over were done by the actual actors from the film, That was a pretty cool thing, Smile

OOTP on the 360 drives me mad.

Hermione's & Sirus' voice are just awful.

You have to complete all the mini games [chocolate frog games & gobstones and stuff], repair everything around the castle and pick up all the things you find, I think anyway.

I don't really like the games that much. Most of them are pointless, and like someone said before, don't have to do anything with the books and movies.

It's not that they were bad, but they just weren't fun to play.

OotP was way better than GoF, but the voices, yes. Some were lame. I mean if you do the real actor voices then get them all! I liked that OotP actually sticked to the story. I have finished it but I didn`t find 1 portrait password and didn`t do some other things. It was quite fun. I like what happens when you run into Snape. lol Laughing

I like all the Potter games except Goblet of Fire. Order of the Phoenix is my favorite, though. Before that came out, I beat Chamber of Secrets like 10 times, I got addicted to the GC and GBA versions. (kinda sad, really)

I love the Harry Potter game boy games. The ps2 and computer games are severely lacking, but I did enjoy OotP. It was a lot better than the previous games, but it also could've been a lot better. Maybe HBP will be better.

The Harry Potter PC Games were all really good. I enjoyed The Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix the best though, because of it's 3D-ish game screen and better graphics then the first three.

i agree with you 4 and 5 was way better, i've played all of them and it seems that the Quidditch world cup and Hp5 was the two best HP video games that came out. Hp6 might turn out to be better than Hp5 i can't wait

The trailer is awesome and has the same 3D-motion as the 5th, it is sure to be a favourite on my PC.

no it was one of the trailer of Harry Potter not in General, I'm really looking forward to it, As for the others I'm currently playing OOTP on my XBOX, and its way better than the previous games

I never liked any of the Harry Potter video games except for two:

1. The Quidditch World Cup game. I had it for my PS2 and it was so much fun. They did a really good job with that game.

2.OOtP, but only on the Wii, because using the remote as a wand is fun and interactive.

Other than that, the games were fairly boring and they get repetitive.

Also the layout of the castle changes with every game. Cant they just get the design from JK and WB and stick to it?!!

Am I the only one who thinks the 3rd one was the best Harry Potter game? (Not for the PC.. for the Gamecube, PS2, etc..).. I liked the 5th one at first, but then it just got repetitive and boring. They focused too much on graphics and not gameplay. I mean, all you do in this game is practice spells, find the DA members, occlumency, and fight at the Ministry. (Not counting the minigames).. I just think they could've made it a bit longer, to be honest. And also the camera was awful! And the 4th was a disgrace, in my opinion.. I like exploring Hogwarts, I didn't even get far in this game, because it bored me.

And the 6th one is supposed to be really good. I've seen a couple of screenshots and info in a Nintendo magazine. Smile And they said they've sorted out the camera angles. Smile

agree on all parts. They need to focus on graphjics, but make the levels longer and more challenging. But I did like the Hogwarts free roam feature. The only problem with that is that once you have disscovered everything and know your way around it gets boring
