Description official description
In the first Harry Potter game for the Game Boy Color, the story of Harry's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is told in the form of a traditional role-playing game.
Playing as Harry, one advances through the plot of the book and the movie by fulfilling quests, battling monsters and gaining experience and levels.
Combat is turn-based, with Harry being able to use a variety of spells against various critters and other enemies. In addition, card combinations of Famous Witches and Wizards Collector's Cards can be used to produce powerful magical effects. These cards can be found all over the freely explorable Hogwarts. Potions that refill stamina and magic points can be found, bought or mixed by Harry himself, but only with the right ingredients.
As in other Potter games, Harry also competes for house points for Gryffindor, hoping to win the House Cup in the end.
The game features several mini-games that, once found in the main game, can also be accessed from the main menu.

This is a fun RPG that will appeal to all Harry Potter fans of any age.
The Good
Harry Potter 1 for the GBC is probably the best of the HP1 video games, mostly because it follows the storyline of the book and movie so well. Fans will 100% guaranteed enjoy this game, and the presentation really puts you into this game, a facet that's uncommon in portable games (okay, Game Boy Color games.) The battle scenes are also lots of fun once you get the hang of them. And all the HP fandom aside, it's a great RPG that can compare to the Zeldas and Pokemons of our world.
The Bad
Some parts of this game were very difficult, especially the late boss battles. (and that stupid bathroom troll!! he's harder than voldemort.) Also, the music will begin to grate on you after a time, and the random battles, which are fun at the beginning, will agonize you whenever you try to walk through a dungeon quickly.
The Bottom Line
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for GBC has all the aspects a good RPG should have. However, some parts of this game will cater only to original HP fans. But the bottom line is this: If you're a Harry Potter fan, then buy this game. It gives you the feeling of actually being in the first book/movie, and is great fun to play through. If you're not a HP fan, then I recommend becoming one, because the books are great reads and the movies are wonderful, and especially this game is great, so you should get this game when you become a fan.

I love the books, I love the movie, I love the game!!
The Good
An excellent way to convert the magical world of Harry Potter into a video game (I am reviewing the GBC version, I don't know about the PSX, PC, and GBA versions). One of my favorite tasks was getting across the lake to Hogwarts, Snape's class is as spooky as possible on the small GBC screen. The game is quite funny in parts.
The Bad
The satire of the book is hardly present, and the small screen isn't welcoming Hogwarts that well.
The Bottom Line
Cool game, but buy it only if you are a fan of Harry Potter books or a fan of the movie. 9.5/10

Trivia
Content
Sometimes the game is a bit more faithful to the book than the Warner Bros. movie: in the game, players need to smuggle a baby dragon out of the castle, an episode which is missing entirely from the movie.
