Having played the GameCube and Windows versions, I can safely say that, like Sorcerer's Stone, the personal computer and console versions are not the same game. They have different storylines and game mechanics.
Compare the console version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSnL1Sf_8fk
to the PC version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N76r0RjAYBI

You are correct. This seems to already be listed in Terok's games to be split list.

What's different about the PS2 version?
And the GameCube version has an exclusive feature that allows you to connect to the GBA game and unlock a new Wizard Card, but I don't think this is enough to merit a split.

Look at the videos linked from my list. GC and Xbox are exactly alike, but PS2 is not - it's very similar, with the same dialogue in cutscenes, but the camera perspectives are all different. I can't tell if there are changes in gameplay or not.

Did some research. Allegedly, the only gameplay difference in the PS2 version is that when riding your broom, you can land anywhere, but in the GameCube and Xbox versions, there are designated landing zones.
