Versions

Different versions of this game were produced for the different platforms it was released for. Three versions were produced:

  • Computer version (PC) by KnowWonder
  • 6th gen home console version (PS2, Xbox, GameCube) by EA UK
  • 6th gen portable console version (GBA) by Griptonite Games

Reception

The game received favorable reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[3][4][5][2][1]

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. Some scenes do not look quite right — the scale of the characters against the width of the Hogwarts Express clearly do not tally. But these minor disappointments are quickly outweighed by stunning visuals in the later levels. While older teenagers may snub this Harry Potter outing, there’s still good mileage in the bespectacled chappie for younger players."[34]
