About this deal

In some segments, Harry partakes in the game of Quidditch, in which he flies on a broomstick and must locate and catch a Golden Snitch fluttering about the arena.

Tim Wapshott of The Times gave the game a score of four stars out of five and stated, "The game remains faithful to the spirit of the book, but it is perhaps a little too linear and predictable. Amrich and Harris lamented the scarce save points, with the former claiming that "you should expect to play for an hour or two each time you pick it up if you want to make real progress".

It's got a solid storyline based on the book and film, and dozens of quests that branch outwards from situations from the film . However, he opined that the game's adherence to the source material's narrative deprived it of energy and a sense of adventure, explaining that the personal nature of the story's conflicts made for little action that could be easily translated into a video game. Some scenes do not look quite right – the scale of the characters against the width of the Hogwarts Express clearly do not tally.

The Game Boy Advance release played as a traditional Role playing game, similar to games like Dragon Quest. For unlike the Game Boy Color version, the game kicks off with Harry already at Hogwarts, and with some fast learning to do. The colours, the amazingly detailed backgrounds, I love Pokémon, but these games put Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal (We don't need to talk about the other Pokémon games graphics-wise XD. I've still got to play the PC and Playstation 2 versions of the game, but this is the Game Boy Advance release. IGN commented on the game not forcing "random battes" from similar RPGs as a positive, but saying that it wasn't "enough to make Prisoner of Azkaban a successful RPG.To Harry's surprise, Professor Quirinus Quirrell stands in the final room trying to extract the Philosopher's Stone from the Mirror of Erised. Interact with characters like Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy and Rubeus Hagrid, and overcome challenges and puzzle to defeat You-Know-Who. As a long-time Potter fan who has read all of the books and watched every movie, I've always been particularly interested in this chapter of the franchise. Be Harry Potter in this Game Boy Advance game, discovering a world filled with wizardry, fun and ever-present danger. Following a strong introduction sequence, it's quickly down to the action in the Game Boy Advance version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone .

Whilst we purchased this as a presumably robust testbed for epilepsy treatments, none of the team could have predicted the carnage which ensued. The game is visually really good, with characters looking noticeably alike their realities, and it's also great that you can wander up to any student when roaming the grounds and they have a comment. This effect lasts until you switch spells once more or enter a different room, though this effect is impossible to apply to Lumos' colour. However, he faulted the overhead camera perspective in relation to the objects and sprites, which he said were drawn for a side-scrolling environment and made judging the position of some objects difficult.

Harry befriends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and they partake in a competition between the houses of Hogwarts to win the House Cup upon the year's end, in which points are granted for satisfactory performance and detracted for infractions. In terms of following the story of the book and movie, there are points where the game deviates; the importance of Snape's collecting quest is exaggerated and many memorable moments are left out in favour of classes and dungeons which have no relevance to the story.
