Unthinkable: Harry Potter lacks magic!
1 May 2010
At least, it isn't about the games from "1001 Arabian nights", because getting at number five, my pleasure is already a bit diluted and don't have fun anymore.

As in the book, it's another school year at Hogwarts. But, when its reading brought me emotion, this video game leaves me cold. The blame goes to the developers who think above all, chores list, challenge, beat the game, etc… I'm really fed up with the things to collect, the tasks to do.

On the other hand, the graphics have never been so beautiful: it's really a virtual visit of the sets on the movie. But, as the school is huge, five minutes later, you are tired from running in the corridors.

This time, the gameplay is very easy thus you can't be stuck. The only difficult moment for me was to levitate some pack of food up a hill. The final level against Voldemort is playable so it's OK. However, the commands for magic are awful with a mouse so everything has to be done with the keys.

In conclusion, a serious improvement from the previous one (Goblet of fire) but not very inspired!
