Game Boy Color version

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
