The third Harry Potter adventure game is wonderful!

The Good
I like this game because:

  1. I like to play adventure games.
  2. I love all Harry Potter books/movies/ games.
  3. As the two other games, it follows the movie, that follows the book.
  4. You can re-play the 3 challenges until you find all the shields (and not from scratch).
  5. You can repeat the final exams until you pass.


**The Bad**
It's impossible to finish the Hippogriff Courses Mini-game! And you can't finish the game unless you finish the Hippogriff Mini-game! You can't control Buckbeak's velocity, it's too fast, and it's very difficult to fly through the tiny rings using a mouse. I tried the fifth course hundreds, thousands of times and never made more than 5000 points (twice, until now...); and you must to do 5600 points to win. I can't finish the game only because of this mini-game... I won Dementors and Voldemort, but I can't win this mini-game. :-( I wish the developers freely distribute a patch changing this mini-game to only 3 or 4 levels...

**The Bottom Line**
A wonderful game for Harry Potter and Adventure games lovers, but frustrating when you can't win the Hippogriff Courses Mini-Game.
