Not as good as I expected to be....but its still a good game to play.
The good things about this game: you can explore Hogwarts, the graphics look great for a PS2, u can cast more spells now, u cant get lost now that u have the map to guide u, the dialogue and music sounds great.
The bad: short, too much walking around, some tasks are annoying
Overall, i'd say that this game isnt as bad as the gamespot rating, but if u'r a harry potter fan, then this game is a must. *I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but i loved the movies*
