Nice and free gameplay but lack in many other factors
The graphic is quite good but when students are speaking, you can hardly see any emotion in their face while their voice is trying to describe anger, happiness..... but the fact that the real actors in movie play game character is nice and all of their voice have good vocal energy especially Cho (But once again, the face disappointed me)
Well, if you can live with the graphic, you should look about the camera and the control. The point is, you can't control your camera and all of your discovery you must find to complete the game is through that stupid camera always turn or zoom in, zoom out right when you don't want to. Control is a real disappointment too. If you don't have a good mouse, it will hardly recognise your spell casting(I got this problem when I play with my own mouse; then I switched to my dad's wireless mouse and things seem to be better) and moving, sometimes Harry or any other controllable characters will ignore your order and just stand there doing nothing. Which will make you mad after some time.
Harry Potter 5 have a lot of missions but many of those missions are running around the castle, from this wing to that wing to find some medicine, book for some people. Sometimes it also give player some nice mission like fetch the owl for Cho or some challenging one - Running around all of the catsle to find 5 talking gargoyle for Dean or find 5 stuffs that Luna lost but overall, the game did some good work in this mission part
Finally, Hogwart. In the castle, there are many secrets to find but nearly all of them are just burning some torch, moving armor, fixing broken armor or a goblet, moving pictures or chairs around to put it in certain point. Some of them are intresting like finding that golden egg Harry used in Book 4 and toss it in the water to hear it. And after all of those discoveries, Mertyle will appear(You can;t help it) and say that there is something new in the secret room which is some game developing videoclips(If you are a fan of Rupert Grint, Emma Watson or any other Harry Potter actors/actress, this is the part you love most) talking about what they feel.....
So, this is a good game if you want to try for something new, to walk around the Hogwart and finding some secrets and stuff but not for the person who want a game which they can enjoy and actually play.
