Advantages: Good graphics etc

Disadvantages: Potions & quidditch difficult

As a big fan of Harry Potter when I got my DSI I chose the HP game thinking it would be really good. Previously i've played the other games for the ps2 which i should have got this one for. Compared to the other games this was a let down. I found it a bit dull and making the potions the candle would burn out half way through making them if the ingredients needed to be mashed. I got stuck a few times and looked up a few cheats which really helped. The game ended quite suddenly and thought it would be better. WHen playing quidditch I thought they didn't really expalin how to play it properly or how to catch the snitch very well after a few goes i finally got the hang of it but tried to avoid playing it but once a game was started it had to be passed to be able to go any further.
Out of the HP games i've played this was my least favourite and i'm hoping the next one will be better. A friend of mine has the game for the Wii and it isn't much better. The graphics are good but don't recommend it unless you are a massive HP fan and like to have all the games in your collection

Summary: good game but disappointing ending
