Harry Potter und der stein der weisen

I have played this game and i must say that i am amazed how close it is to the book. for those who havent read the books but are fans of the first movie i would suggest that you read the book first as there are some tasks in the game that where not in the movie. the potions game on the way to the stone is a perfect example. even though i love the game i give it a 8 as i have never been able to complete it straight to the end with out using the lvl cheat to get past fluffy but i still recommend it to anyone who is interested in a game that challenges the mind while entertaining the senses.

This game, where you control Harry Potter, is set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I liked it a lot because it is like you are actually taking a tour of Hogwarts. It was also fun because there are so many secret passages with surprises that it makes the game always a challenge. Finally, I liked it because it's not terribly easy, especially when you're in the Quidditch game, and that also makes it very interesting and fun to play.

Wonderful as a book, this, the first of the Harry Potter stories has been very skillfully turned into a screen delight. The sets, the effects, the cast are very true to the book. Some adaption to the plot has occurred, but with no detriment to the story. This is a movie for all ages.

The game is not really incredible or try to make an other story or something like that. But i found the game good with the story that they tell in a book like an audio with a book open and with the story of the movie. I become nostalgic and i love it just for that. That was pretty good and i love the quidditch games even if it have a classic gameplay. Nice to feel Harry Potter vibes with that game.

I am a hardline online gamer, have been for 5 years. I bought this game because 1; i like the books, and 2; it seemed a gentle enough game to introduce my son, all of 3 years and 10 months, into the educational values of a decent computer game with a good, non-violent story attached. This game is great, and my son loves it ( i control Harry with the direction keys, my son casts spells on switches, trees, doxy's and gnomes etc with the mouse. His hand/eye co-ordination is developing a treat). This is a thoroughly engaging, well thought out and imaginative game. The graphics and lighting are pleasing, the attention to detail is authentic and amusing (example; wizard card details), the levels are well designed and their variety has a good balance and is close in feel and plot to the first book. It;s a great kid's game, and adults may well enjoy it too. I certainly have.

btw, of special note should be the music by Jeremy Soule which is absolutely superb, far better than the movie's score in my opinion, and whoever the voice talent was who did a ripping John Cleese impression for the voice of Nearly Headless Nick deserves a round of applause.
