This game came out at midnight the same day Deathly hallows part 2 was supposed to drop in Theatres here where I live. My sister and I went to EB Games, got it, and went right back home and played through the entire game so that we could finish it and then see the movie that same day. We wanted the ultimate DHP2 experience and we got it. I had no idea there were 3 versions! Thanks for the nostalgia trips you've sent me through by covering this whole series. It's been a blast
Tbf the last two movies also treated spells like guns. I even remember thinking during the last battle: "wouldn't it be more convenient to just use machine guns and grenades?"
I really prefer how the books handled magical duels. Especially Order of the Phoenix with the ministry battle. Half of the fighting was actually brawling, beating the shit out of each other once you closed the distance. This is why Neville had a bloody nose in the book etc. Would have loved to see those more brutal/physical magical battles in the movies, lol.
i do like that little nod they put at the end of the game showing the ones before. My favorite console game is the 3rd one as i liked the mechanic of switching characters and each of them having abilities as well as being able to learn different spells and my favorite handheld would have to be either the GBC or the 3rd GBA as they are good RPG games. Now if i had to rank the console by best harry potter games it would be 6th gen console (sure the PS2 has the best version of the chamber of secrets but it has more eh games later on where as the xbox and gamecube were dropped after harry potter 4 so i put these all together) PS1 (while only two they are alright and it is the best one for memes) Wii (because it is one of the few playable versions of the 5th game) PS3/360 for handhelds it would be like this GBC (both games are very good) GBA and PSP (now why these are tied is because they have both good pros but equal cons. PSP pro: it had games that looked and played like the console games just a slight downgrade. Con: this would be discontinued later on and the PSP would get cut off after half blood prince. GBA: pro it has a lot of games and the early ones are very good. Con: they were constantly changing and they really only had one really good one being the 3rd game as it was done by the GBC guys.) DS (this one gets the bottom because until the last few games the DS versions werent that great that being said it is one of the other playable versions of the 5th game because of the giant hand and the last two games were alright but it was really held back.) Now combined it would be like this 6th gen GBC PS1 GBA and PSP Wii DS 360/PS3
Somehow these games don't get talked about even though I think a lot of people played them growing up.The early games had creative ways of making you feel like you're in the HP world without just doing a story walkthrough. This was a series I didn't know I wanted, thanks!
Half blood prince was my favorite simply for it being the most complete Hogwarts. I’d walk around pretending going to classes. Then if I wanted to pretend being with Ron and hermione I’d swap to OOTP Also loved watching all of these you did amazing work can’t wait to see what more you have in store!!!
I think the Spider-Man games would do well for this series, the OG ps1 games and then the movie tie-in's had a lot of versions, and then a good mix for some of the more modern ones
I have very fond memories of the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone on PC. The game had some real cozy vibes, and that constant sound effect of a warm fireplace and/or big candles burning in the background was very comforting. It also felt very faithful to the spirit the book, and the visuals emulated the illustrations from each chapter well.
Another Great video! I wish the flagship version from the 4th game onwards would follow the PC/PS2 style of Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban, the art direction for these games, for me, they are immaculate, the devs they were able to create a unique atmosphere. But unfortunately, the PS3 era onwards it's where the "realistic games" trend started in most games...
Hey Flandrew, I'd like to start off by saying that I really loved this series of yours! It's not often I come across interesting Harry Potter videogame videos like this, and it has never happened before that a series like this has compelled me to subscribe to your channel which is something I haven't regretted a day since. Well done! For me, my order of worst to best (all on PC as I have only ever played one other console HP game) is as follows: Goblet of Fire Deathly Hallows Part 1 Deathly Hallows Part 2 Order of the Phoenix Half-Blood Prince Prisoner of Azkaban Philosopher's Stone Chamber of Secrets I've played Goblet of Fire 2 times in my life, the first time as a sort of curiosity thing to find out what the game was about and the second time to see if I could get any joy out of it. For me it just misses the mark completely, I don't feel like it has the sort of magical feeling a Harry Potter game is supposed to have. I absolutely hated the removal of freeroam, the addition of a forced camera perspective, the removal of interesting collectables and so many more parts of that game. The Deathly Hallows games weren't that great for me either, but at least they offered the unique opportunity to explore magical locations that were not available in previous installments and I didn't care that much about all the spamming. I enjoy replaying the fifth and sixth games, while they do not have the same amazingness of the first three games, they still offer a lot for me. Order of the Phoenix still has that annoying forced perspective, but the game is very immersive with a lot of interesting background chatter to make you feel like you're at hogwarts and the ability to cast spells on bystanders. Half-Blood Prince was an improvement on that game for me, with better graphics, more freedom when looking around, more areas to explore and better minigames (I HATE GOBSTONES). Lastly, I feel like we can all agree the first three games were the best. They had that magical feeling about them, I love how every bit of the game is stacked with secret rooms, I love collecting wizard cards and it's always a treat to replay these games. Chamber of Secrets has got to be the highlight for me, with Philosopher's Stone feeling like a stepping stone to this game (which is still a great game, but not as great as its successor). Prisoner of Azkaban feels like a step down as it draws away from the exploration, with a huge amount of cards no longer being hidden but having to be bought, a lot less secrets but still a lot of enjoyable environments to cast magic in. I could write an even more detailed essay on my thoughts and feelings regarding these games but I think that what I've written so far already far exceeds what fits within a youtube comment.
Great series! The perfect ending would be talking about all the other Harry Potter games like the Lego games, the other mobile games (old java ones or even the new ones) or the Play Station spin offs. There is even an xbox kinect game.
Favourite: Chamber of Secrets PC game - Everything about that game is top notch, (at least for the time). The graphics were too good to be true for teenage me, the spells, duels, the music (I still sometimes listen to HP2 soundtrack), the grinding on the duelling club for beans, the grinding on Spell Challenges to score maximum points for a longer bonus bean room visits, the bonus bean room (although the BB Room in PoA was better), Quidditch was a bit underwhelming still it wasn't bad at all, plus I recently found out about all the hidden stuff like challenges and modes in the game, so have been replaying it lately. Least Favourite: Goblet of Fire PC - They took everything that made the first 3 HP games good and chucked it right out the window. The biggest pain in the arse was having to do and re-do the same mission over and over for those stupid shields. And the AI for Ron and Hermoine were dodgy at best. It is still one of the only games that I haven't finished till today.
My god the music, Jeremy Soule just produced some of his best work in the first three HP games. Harry as Goyle from CoS in particular is an absolute favorite of mine. That theremin-like sound is perfect for the out-of-body experience Harry is going through.
This was one of the best series of videos I’ve ever watched. Amazing work! I would love to see this series for the Tony Hawk games and the James Bond games. Looking forward to all your future videos, and thank you this wonderful series!
Bit late to watching it, but I just watched your two part series on the first three HP Games for PC and I loved it!, Keep up the great work Flandrew, as others have said, we're proud and lucky to have come across you and we enjoy the content you're making and we can't wait to see more of it, other then that, I'm very eager to watch this video (haven''t yet) and see how not as great the Deathly Hallows games were :).
I've been watching this series of yours since the first episode. This may sound weird but over these weeks my life has changed a lot, but your content is still here, and your background music brings me so much calm and joy. Thank you so much, man.
New flandrew video means it’s a good day. As amazing as Chamber of Secrets was on the original Xbox, sorcerers stone on PC is still the GOAT. That game had genuinely great level design and really engaging mechanics. But fuck putting fluffy to sleep, that had me stuck for about a week when I was a kid.
The PS2 version of Chamber of Secrets was probably my favorite. Its a fun little OOT inspired game with really clever puzzles and dungeons to go through. It's not perfect but it's still really fun and well designed. The graphics have aged incredibly well too. It feels less like the movies and more like the books brought to life.
I very much enjoyed the whole series and, especially in this video, I was having a blast. Thank you for the series, I voted, and will be looking forward to watching your other content :)
Chamber of secrets for PC is my favorite. Replayed it this year and while it is simple, there's no denying the charm it has. Between dueling, Quidditch, making potions, the trading mechanics, and the level of exploration/collectibles, they all add so much and make the game feel so vibrant. If they were all fleshed out a bit more in future games, these mechanics could have made for some great games. I think if the series had stuck to the exploration and spell lesson formula of the first three PC games, it would have been a lot more fun.
Thank you so much for giving me the best video series on this site in a long time. Really enjoyed this journey and I look forward to what you make next!
Can't wait to see what series you'll cover next! These videos have been a delight to watch. I really enjoyed the Chamber of Secrets game on the PS2 myself as a kid, especially since on the PS2 you could freely fly around the map unlike the other versions.
I love this video format, man! I hope you don't stop here. Yes, video game tie-ins usually aren't great, but I'd love to see you take on other series like this!
I could listen to Flandrew review pretty much anything - I never played most of these games and I probably never will but it's more enjoyable to watch these videos than the actual games are.
As someone who's played most of these, I guess I would say that the curve for the games people seem to like to most start fairly high for HP1, go slightly up for HP2, about the same but perhaps less for HP3, then waaaay less for HP4, up again for HP5 and 6, then once again down on HP7. Now imagine a curve graph. Idk where I'm going with this.
My favourite Harry Potter Game is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on the PS1. I know from a classical videogame point of view it is technically not a great game. I ever remember buying it at age 9 for a lot of money and wanting to return it at first. But it has this super weird and mysterious atmosphere to it which makes you think there is something hiding behind every corner. I even thought the atmosphere was kinda creepy. And I loved it. Hogwarts dosen't look like anything in the movie and the plot is all mixed up, but that's exactly what I liked about this game: it is a world of itself and independend from the movie. This is also why I love the Philosopher's Stone GBC game the most of the handheld versions: it is just its own thing. It copies the dialog and plot from the book almost word for word and has almost nothing to do with the movies. It again is its own thing and doesn't try to copy scenes. It is so cool to see this weird version of Hogwarts. Makes a lot of fun exploring it!
I just wanna say how much I appreciate these videos. They were informative and entertaining. Which is nice since most UA-cam videos are one or the other. I found these bc I ordered every playstation and nintendo version of these. Wonderful to find out that they are all completely different games, instead of having 5-6 copies of the same game in a different shape
Have really enjoyed this series, it's validated my obsession with just how many different versions there were of the Harry Potter games and the fact this series led to developer interviews was cool information you couldn't get anywhere else.
i stumbled around this series today and already watched half of it. Very nice videos. I remember growing up with the half blood prince game and the struggle with brewing just as you told in your video, i really enjoyed it tho since i was very young and played on my dads computer. It was one of my first games ever, thx for bringing back that memory.
For me, my favourite Harry Potter game was the Order of the Phoenix on Xbox 360. I loved how the game wasn’t overly hard and made you feel immersed as a student at Hogwarts. The exploration was one of my favourite aspects of the game. The detail of the caste and its grounds was great because Hogwarts was a place I’ve always wanted to visit. As you explore Hogwarts you unlock different “extras” in the Room of Rewards that let you watch videos about the games development which was fun and interesting. My least favourite game was the Goblet of Fire. Most people would probably agree. I simply could not find any fun or motivation to play that game after playing the first 15 minutes. It was awful and instead of going into detail as to why, let’s just forget it existed.
Probably the nostalgia, but Goblet of Fire was the first ever PS2 game I got, first ever video game period, back in Christmas 2005. Love it to this day.
Thank you so much for this opinion. I share it. For me it is the best. Only I played it on the PC (Your comment got to the next video - the big comparison) Once again thanks
My favorite Harry Potter game will always be the PC version of Chamber of Secrets. I remember first getting it as a Christmas present as a kid and me and my family would play it all the time. I especially loved the bean bonus room it made me feel so happy every time I was around all those beans!
What a nice series, I discovered your channel with the first one and now I love every video you upload. I'm happy to be here, can't wait for your next videos.
I'm moving to Northern Ireland and getting engaged this year. I'd love if we could talk about games in person. After watching this I am absolutely in line of thought that you Flandrew know games as if you grew up in my house. That is an amazing feeling to find someone online to speak as if they were from my childhood. Keep making awesome content and I'd like to meet you.
I'm guessing it's been fixed now, but when the PC version of this game first dropped there was a devastating glitch in the McGonagall v Giant level where her spells would just stop working during the QTE that marked the end of the level...you had to quit the game, disable something in the files, restart the game and finish the level, and then quit again to re-enable that thing! Added a bit of stress to Christmas morning, lemme tell ya!
Absolutely loved all these retrospectives for these games, was amazing finding out all the different versions of each game, thanks so much! My favourite Harry Potter game has got to be the Prisoner of Azkaban (PS2/GCN/Xbox), though I played it on PS2, it was the one I played the most and had the most fun on. It gives me so much nostalgia and I love going back to it every now and then, though I also like the Chamber of Secrets and the Order of the Phoenix on PS2 as well. The worst one, in my opinion, is the Goblet of Fire, which was actually the first Harry Potter game I played, completed and threw out because it was just too tedious and boring. I try to imagine what the game would be like if it was kinda like a mix of COS and OOTP, I really think that's the direction the game should have went in, rather than a huge collect-a-thon.
what an awesome series, I’m really glad it introduced me to your channel! I think Chamber of Secrets remains the strongest of the franchise, but the Lego Harry Potter games are my personal favorite!
For me, the best one is Harry Potter 3 and the worst is 4. Actually after the 4 the series took a step down the first trilogy had something magical, which unfortunately the became more movie tie in and lost the uniqueness of the first 3 games. After the trilogy, I prefer to play the 6 one i had fun with my cousin in the duels
Really looking forward to the Poll, I have my predictions which I feel may be quite accurate, although these Polls can often give surprises and insights into the topic! Loved this series! Need more of it, mentioning Zelda which I'm a huge fan of, it would be funny, but interesting to see your take and retrospective on them
It's also worth mentioning that the combat system works marvelously with PS Move. It's honestly one of the better PS Move games. Swapping between abilities, whipping out your shield. You can pretty much ignore cover most of the time, feeling more like a PS2 throwback like Psi-Ops. That said, for however much I've enjoyed Part 2, it's undeniable - Part 1 is the worst entry in the series. Even the blander middle year entries had some coherence to them. Part 1 feels like a proof of concept prototype that EA just published without concern for quality. It makes me grateful the final movie was split in half - at least then Part 2 had the time to be a functional game.
That pensieve moment is a really cool touch. With all the multiverse shenanigans the Marvel movies have been up to lately, it would be really neat to see one of the upcoming Marvel videogames do something similar and have you replay classic bits of old Marvel games as part of a side sequence, or at least show gameplay footage from them as a part of some cutscene.
Unpopular opinion but I really like the concept of just throwing yourself into a battlefield and beating the shit out of enemies in the HP world. Granted I havent played this game in like eight years, but I loved it back then. It was really fun
It's an unpopular opinion but Order of the Phoenix was my favorite game, I absolutely loved the open world feel of it and I actually enjoyed all of the side content and getting to do quests around the castle for fellow students. I did multiple playthroughs of it. I of course loved the original 3, but OOTP is my favorite. I played Deathly Hallows Part 1 and didn't like it so I didn't even bother with Part 2. So I guess the Deathly Hallows games are my least favorite.
Well they kinda just followed the path of the film i think the first 3 one was more following kids in a magic school investigating things,following school years and not rll fighting goblet of fire had the 3 sorcerer tournament which is why i think the games are more action focused For the 5 and the 6 your back whit investigating hogwart and follow the school year The last 2 movie/games tho well first 1 you arent even in hogwart but more important its where the group actively search to stop voldemort maybe the first part could have been a zelda like game but i think it would have been less good the second part tho its literally some sort of magical war you cant rll have made it an puzzle game it wouldnt have fitted at all
As a transgender HP fan it's been pretty heartbreaking to see JK spearhead a hate campaign against my and my kin's existence. Ah well, her loss, just means any further exploration of the wizarding world, I'll be sailing into from the seven seas.
My favorite is probably the Order of the Phoenix. At that time I had a very weak computer that did not run any games, and we played it at my friend's place, just wandering around the castle and throwing benches at the students
Really enjoyed this series, grew up with most of these games and stopped after Order of the Phoenix. If I had to guess the best one will probably be Chamber of Secrets for the PS2/GC I did enjoy the PS1 version for including more segments from the books. Plus the PS1 version of Sorcerer’s Stone (I’m American) did the same thing, like adding the troll and potions in the third floor corridor, it always gave me anxiety slowly lifting the furniture quietly out of the trolls way. I think the PC version added the potions as well but not the troll. Hoping you touch upon the Lego Harry Potter games and the Quidditch World Cup
Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:59 PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/PC 8:05 Nintendo Wii 8:14 Nintendo DS 9:33 Mobile 10:02 Conclusion (Feel free to copy this into the video description to create UA-cam chapters)
My vote would go to Sorcerer's Stone on GBC. It kept the whole plot of the book/movie while also branching out and imagining much of Hogwarts in its own unique way. Great music and no major gameplay problems either. It's still fun to play
I really appreciate all the work you've made in these videos. But before doing a ultimate ranking. It would be cool if you included Harry Potter Kinect and The Wonderbook games of Spells and Potions. Then we can do a definitive Harry Potter ranking vote. :)
Great job on this series, I loved watching through it and it's what led me to your channel. Can't wait to see the poll results and your future videos. Also favorite tie in Harry Potter game is chamber of secrets for pc. But really we all know quidditch world cup is the best.
I still play Philosopher Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban on PS2. I play them at least once a year and they never disappoint me. They’re exactly as I remember and I enjoy every single time I play them. However, if I have to choose one, I’d go for the Chamber of Secrets. It was my first videogame ever and I have a lot of good memories playing it again and again. I enjoy the games from 4 to 7 too, but sadly they were very very different to the first three. Thank you Flandrew for making this videos. I enjoy them a lot! Good job!
For me, HP 1 and 2 for the PC are the best games. The nostalgia I get from playing these games is top notch. Also the music in these games is always a throwback for me. The exploration in HP2 is better compared to HP1 so I think HP2 is a little bit better than HP1. HP4 for PC is one of the worst games I’ve ever witnessed, so repetitive and I didn’t felt the same feeling compared to HP1, 2 and 3. Thank you for these nostalgic trips into my childhood! Keep it up with those Throwback-Video-Games! I’m looking forward for more videos like these. 🙂
Thank you so much for summarizing my childhood basically! Although I've never played DHp2, the first three PC parts, 5 and 6 are the games I hold so dear in my heart. How about a bonus LEGO HP video?
All of the harry potter games give me so much nostalgia. I'm just glad I was a kid when I played them and didn't really understand how to identify a "bad game". Even though now realistically alot of them are bad I can still go back and play them and really enjoy them (Apart from Goblet Of Fire. That game can just go magic itself away from existence)
This series had a wild ride. Harry Potter 1-3 were all in the same style. the 4th game is its own beast. The 5 and 6th game were a pair. Then you have 7 part 1 and 2 which were a pair. All sets with different styles of gameplay and flow. I played them all on PS2 and Xbox 360. 1. Prisoner of Azkaban- This is my favorite because one it is the most nostalgic to me. I just really enjoyed the dungeons, switching characters, Hogwarts was interesting to explore albeit mostly barren outside. It just holds the most nostalgia to me. 2. Order of the Phoenix- This is here purely for the Hogwarts. The exploration of Hogwarts was at its peak here. Sure some people didn't like the rounding up Dumbledore section but I didn't mind it because exploring Hogwarts was so fun. The second round was much shorter and cut out the filler ones from round1. So you just had the portable swamps, Colin making you do parkour, and the twins sabotage tour. The gameplay in both combat and movement is a little off but not enough to make me too mad. Just laugh at it. Also Gobstones is fun as hell and is hands down one of my favorite minigames in all of my gaming experience. They even had a full on chess minigame that was impressive. Exploding snaps was fun enough but my least favorite of the three minigames. I just wish Myrtle didn't annoy me every time I leveled up. 3. Chamber of Secrets- I know this is most peoples absolute favorite. The game is good and I am not taking anything away from it. I just enjoy the next two more. Also the basilisk fight always seemed done weirdly to me. 4. Half-Blood Prince- I enjoyed the combat in this game. It was vastly improved on Orders. The other mini games not so much and the watered down exploration for me also holds it back. Seriously screw the potions minigame not fun for the colorblind. 5. Sorcerer Stone- This game is a very fun clone. The PC version was actually my very first game ever. I have so much nostalgia in my heart for this game. 6. Goblet of Fire- This ranks above the Deathly Hollow titles simply because I can play it and laugh at it with a friend. Plus other nostalgic reasons. I did have a Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire party before going to see the movie at theaters and then play the game all night long. Good night. I did really enjoy the maze level though. 7. Part 2- Vastly improves on part 1. The combat is more fun, Harry is more responsive, and there really is no padding. That being said the game is generic AF for sure. The montage at the end was a very nice touch though. 8. Part 1- It is just so tedious due to the amounts of filler this game shoves onto you. The scene of the tales of the three brothers was very well done though. Don't even get me started on the locket horcrux boss fight though. Ugh that thing was annoying. Also the Lego Harry Potter games are surperior to all of these games and Quidditch World Cup is probably above Goblet maybe even Sorcerer but not any higher than that.
Hey I really enjoyed this series and I hope you cover more games released on different platforms, it's a really cool concept! My favourite Harry Potter game growing up was the Prisoner of Azkaban for the PS2, partly because it was based on the movie which I would watch over and over again as a child and partly because of the mechanic of switching between 3 main characters- seriously POA walked so GTA V could run. Also have a soft spot for Chamber of Secrets PS2, there was something so magical about it when I was little. I remember being at primary school just waiting til I could go home and run around diagon alley lol
Chamber Of Secrets on Pc was just my favorite and its just mostly that childlike times of loading it up on my old pc and walking around the castle it was my first pc game and it just had me in such a sense of wonder.
This was a crazy retrospective. I never realized just how many different versions of the same Harry Potter game existed. I'd love to participate in the poll but I've only ever played the ps1 game for the first one and the ps2 game of the second one. Not really enough experience to say that I have a favorite and least favorite.
Never played any of these games but really enjoyed this series! Hope that when you rank them you tell us what you're personal ranking would be as well as what your viewers vote for. Also, if you're still looking for another series to review, pretty sure Splinter Cell had different versions of each game released across different platforms, at least up until Double Agent anyway.
Quite honestly? I think the Potter games were always at its best when they allowed you to explore Hogwarts. It plays directly into the fantasy of every fan of the series of going to school and learning magic. The three PC games emulated this better. Harry didn't suddenly forgot the spells he learned the previous year. Granted, the challenges to test you on your newly learned spell were over the top most of the time, but the way they designed them was actually fun and engaging. They could have thrown in a system like HBP's potion making mini game and a little more variety with their spells and potions and I think basically you could have gotten a very early version of what Hogwarts Legacy will be apparently. Quick question: are you considering covering the early Portkey Games? You know, like Hogwarts Mystery and Wizards Unite, etc? Awesome video as always Already voted
Hy Flandrew, greetings from Austria and thank you very much for this awesome series!!!! i enjoyed every minute. My favourite HP game is with no doubt the flagship of Philosopher´s Stone. I also liked Halfblood Prince, though the walking was annoying but interesting at the same time.
If you remember playing every version of every Harry Potter game, then you are probably named Flandrew.
And of course, you also smacked Ron in the face whenever you could.
Lmaooo
Well, you don't need to remember them all, just the one you remember being the best.
Hi my names Flandrew lmao
But which Flandrew are you?
Here’s hoping you do more video game retrospectives like these in the future. It’s been a fun ride watching your HP videos.
Agreed it’s been a very enjoyable series of videos like a nice nostalgia trip
Thank you, and yes, there’s plenty more to come
@@FlandrewI thought Seamus is pronounced ,,Sea-miss" not ,,Shay-miss" 😅
This game came out at midnight the same day Deathly hallows part 2 was supposed to drop in Theatres here where I live. My sister and I went to EB Games, got it, and went right back home and played through the entire game so that we could finish it and then see the movie that same day. We wanted the ultimate DHP2 experience and we got it. I had no idea there were 3 versions! Thanks for the nostalgia trips you've sent me through by covering this whole series. It's been a blast
Tbf the last two movies also treated spells like guns. I even remember thinking during the last battle: "wouldn't it be more convenient to just use machine guns and grenades?"
Avada kedavra was honestly the worst thing that ever happened to the magic system in Harry Potter for exactly that reason.
I really prefer how the books handled magical duels. Especially Order of the Phoenix with the ministry battle. Half of the fighting was actually brawling, beating the shit out of each other once you closed the distance. This is why Neville had a bloody nose in the book etc. Would have loved to see those more brutal/physical magical battles in the movies, lol.
Well then it wouldn't really be about magic anymore, would it?
@@MattII33 if magic for them is just an inferior alternative to technology, then maybe they shouldn't be making movies about magic.
Yeah they could have used some different spells.. Like Levi Corpus and the likes.
Not just either stupor or Avada..
i do like that little nod they put at the end of the game showing the ones before. My favorite console game is the 3rd one as i liked the mechanic of switching characters and each of them having abilities as well as being able to learn different spells and my favorite handheld would have to be either the GBC or the 3rd GBA as they are good RPG games.
Now if i had to rank the console by best harry potter games it would be
6th gen console (sure the PS2 has the best version of the chamber of secrets but it has more eh games later on where as the xbox and gamecube were dropped after harry potter 4 so i put these all together)
PS1 (while only two they are alright and it is the best one for memes)
Wii (because it is one of the few playable versions of the 5th game)
PS3/360
for handhelds it would be like this
GBC (both games are very good)
GBA and PSP (now why these are tied is because they have both good pros but equal cons. PSP pro: it had games that looked and played like the console games just a slight downgrade. Con: this would be discontinued later on and the PSP would get cut off after half blood prince. GBA: pro it has a lot of games and the early ones are very good. Con: they were constantly changing and they really only had one really good one being the 3rd game as it was done by the GBC guys.)
DS (this one gets the bottom because until the last few games the DS versions werent that great that being said it is one of the other playable versions of the 5th game because of the giant hand and the last two games were alright but it was really held back.)
Now combined it would be like this
6th gen
GBC
PS1
GBA and PSP
Wii
DS
360/PS3
you didn't play the PC games?
@@Mmmeeee4 nah I don't really have the PC or laptop for that but basically if I were it would be this
3
2 and 1
5 and 6
4 and part 2
Part 1
Somehow these games don't get talked about even though I think a lot of people played them growing up.The early games had creative ways of making you feel like you're in the HP world without just doing a story walkthrough. This was a series I didn't know I wanted, thanks!
First three felt magical
While the ones after became call of duty
Half blood prince was my favorite simply for it being the most complete Hogwarts. I’d walk around pretending going to classes. Then if I wanted to pretend being with Ron and hermione I’d swap to OOTP
Also loved watching all of these you did amazing work can’t wait to see what more you have in store!!!
I think the Spider-Man games would do well for this series, the OG ps1 games and then the movie tie-in's had a lot of versions, and then a good mix for some of the more modern ones
Yes!
@@intheclear3492 I asked Flandrew himself about this the other day and he said it was actually on his to-do list!
I have very fond memories of the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone on PC. The game had some real cozy vibes, and that constant sound effect of a warm fireplace and/or big candles burning in the background was very comforting. It also felt very faithful to the spirit the book, and the visuals emulated the illustrations from each chapter well.
I think (and maybe this isn’t the case as I never played it) it feels like it took visuals from a mixture of the book and movie
Another Great video!
I wish the flagship version from the 4th game onwards would follow the PC/PS2 style of Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban, the art direction for these games, for me, they are immaculate, the devs they were able to create a unique atmosphere. But unfortunately, the PS3 era onwards it's where the "realistic games" trend started in most games...
They become call of duty 🤣🤣
Hey Flandrew, I'd like to start off by saying that I really loved this series of yours! It's not often I come across interesting Harry Potter videogame videos like this, and it has never happened before that a series like this has compelled me to subscribe to your channel which is something I haven't regretted a day since. Well done!
For me, my order of worst to best (all on PC as I have only ever played one other console HP game) is as follows:
Goblet of Fire
Deathly Hallows Part 1
Deathly Hallows Part 2
Order of the Phoenix
Half-Blood Prince
Prisoner of Azkaban
Philosopher's Stone
Chamber of Secrets
I've played Goblet of Fire 2 times in my life, the first time as a sort of curiosity thing to find out what the game was about and the second time to see if I could get any joy out of it. For me it just misses the mark completely, I don't feel like it has the sort of magical feeling a Harry Potter game is supposed to have. I absolutely hated the removal of freeroam, the addition of a forced camera perspective, the removal of interesting collectables and so many more parts of that game. The Deathly Hallows games weren't that great for me either, but at least they offered the unique opportunity to explore magical locations that were not available in previous installments and I didn't care that much about all the spamming. I enjoy replaying the fifth and sixth games, while they do not have the same amazingness of the first three games, they still offer a lot for me. Order of the Phoenix still has that annoying forced perspective, but the game is very immersive with a lot of interesting background chatter to make you feel like you're at hogwarts and the ability to cast spells on bystanders. Half-Blood Prince was an improvement on that game for me, with better graphics, more freedom when looking around, more areas to explore and better minigames (I HATE GOBSTONES). Lastly, I feel like we can all agree the first three games were the best. They had that magical feeling about them, I love how every bit of the game is stacked with secret rooms, I love collecting wizard cards and it's always a treat to replay these games. Chamber of Secrets has got to be the highlight for me, with Philosopher's Stone feeling like a stepping stone to this game (which is still a great game, but not as great as its successor). Prisoner of Azkaban feels like a step down as it draws away from the exploration, with a huge amount of cards no longer being hidden but having to be bought, a lot less secrets but still a lot of enjoyable environments to cast magic in. I could write an even more detailed essay on my thoughts and feelings regarding these games but I think that what I've written so far already far exceeds what fits within a youtube comment.
Man, these DS devs are really punching above their weight. The portable versions of deathly hallows all seem better than the flagship ones
Great series! The perfect ending would be talking about all the other Harry Potter games like the Lego games, the other mobile games (old java ones or even the new ones) or the Play Station spin offs. There is even an xbox kinect game.
100% second doing the Harry Potter Lego games.
+1 for doing the Lego games; the handheld versions are unique and interesting
The Lego Harry Potter games are low key better and more fun than any of the main ones
I'd be 100% behind an actual series on every Lego game ever (HP, SW, LotR, Pirates, etc.
@@tradeka4206 I dunno, Prisoner of Azkaban on PC is till one of my favourites
Favourite: Chamber of Secrets PC game - Everything about that game is top notch, (at least for the time). The graphics were too good to be true for teenage me, the spells, duels, the music (I still sometimes listen to HP2 soundtrack), the grinding on the duelling club for beans, the grinding on Spell Challenges to score maximum points for a longer bonus bean room visits, the bonus bean room (although the BB Room in PoA was better), Quidditch was a bit underwhelming still it wasn't bad at all, plus I recently found out about all the hidden stuff like challenges and modes in the game, so have been replaying it lately.
Least Favourite: Goblet of Fire PC - They took everything that made the first 3 HP games good and chucked it right out the window. The biggest pain in the arse was having to do and re-do the same mission over and over for those stupid shields. And the AI for Ron and Hermoine were dodgy at best. It is still one of the only games that I haven't finished till today.
My god the music, Jeremy Soule just produced some of his best work in the first three HP games. Harry as Goyle from CoS in particular is an absolute favorite of mine. That theremin-like sound is perfect for the out-of-body experience Harry is going through.
This was one of the best series of videos I’ve ever watched. Amazing work! I would love to see this series for the Tony Hawk games and the James Bond games. Looking forward to all your future videos, and thank you this wonderful series!
Bit late to watching it, but I just watched your two part series on the first three HP Games for PC and I loved it!, Keep up the great work Flandrew, as others have said, we're proud and lucky to have come across you and we enjoy the content you're making and we can't wait to see more of it, other then that, I'm very eager to watch this video (haven''t yet) and see how not as great the Deathly Hallows games were :).
I've been watching this series of yours since the first episode. This may sound weird but over these weeks my life has changed a lot, but your content is still here, and your background music brings me so much calm and joy. Thank you so much, man.
Thank you
Loved this series, sad to see it end. Great work on capturing and describing all the versions so thoroughly Flandrew!
I love Harry yelling "Filpendo!" in the first game and the turn based RPG from the first GBC game was amazing, so those are probably my favourite ones
New flandrew video means it’s a good day. As amazing as Chamber of Secrets was on the original Xbox, sorcerers stone on PC is still the GOAT. That game had genuinely great level design and really engaging mechanics. But fuck putting fluffy to sleep, that had me stuck for about a week when I was a kid.
The PS2 version of Chamber of Secrets was probably my favorite. Its a fun little OOT inspired game with really clever puzzles and dungeons to go through.
It's not perfect but it's still really fun and well designed. The graphics have aged incredibly well too. It feels less like the movies and more like the books brought to life.
I very much enjoyed the whole series and, especially in this video, I was having a blast. Thank you for the series, I voted, and will be looking forward to watching your other content :)
Chamber of secrets for PC is my favorite. Replayed it this year and while it is simple, there's no denying the charm it has. Between dueling, Quidditch, making potions, the trading mechanics, and the level of exploration/collectibles, they all add so much and make the game feel so vibrant. If they were all fleshed out a bit more in future games, these mechanics could have made for some great games. I think if the series had stuck to the exploration and spell lesson formula of the first three PC games, it would have been a lot more fun.
Thank you so much for giving me the best video series on this site in a long time. Really enjoyed this journey and I look forward to what you make next!
I've watched & love every single one of these Potter-Comparison videos for all the games, great mate! 🥳
Can't wait to see what series you'll cover next! These videos have been a delight to watch. I really enjoyed the Chamber of Secrets game on the PS2 myself as a kid, especially since on the PS2 you could freely fly around the map unlike the other versions.
I love this video format, man! I hope you don't stop here. Yes, video game tie-ins usually aren't great, but I'd love to see you take on other series like this!
If tie-in games were still here, we would get to play Fantastic Beasts, Fast and Furious, 007 games, and so on.
What a great memory...
I could listen to Flandrew review pretty much anything - I never played most of these games and I probably never will but it's more enjoyable to watch these videos than the actual games are.
We made it to the finale! These videos were awesome!
I'm really enjoying this channel, your subtle sarcasm really does a lot for your commentary
Thanks! Nice series. Because of it, I started to collect every handheld Harry Potter game :)
I get so excited to see your game comparison vids. It's a subject that rarely gets tackled.
Thank you for doing this series, I really enjoyed all the videos even though I didn’t play any of the games as a kid!
Thank you for this series! It’s been a blast!
As someone who's played most of these, I guess I would say that the curve for the games people seem to like to most start fairly high for HP1, go slightly up for HP2, about the same but perhaps less for HP3, then waaaay less for HP4, up again for HP5 and 6, then once again down on HP7. Now imagine a curve graph. Idk where I'm going with this.
My favourite Harry Potter Game is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on the PS1. I know from a classical videogame point of view it is technically not a great game. I ever remember buying it at age 9 for a lot of money and wanting to return it at first. But it has this super weird and mysterious atmosphere to it which makes you think there is something hiding behind every corner. I even thought the atmosphere was kinda creepy. And I loved it. Hogwarts dosen't look like anything in the movie and the plot is all mixed up, but that's exactly what I liked about this game: it is a world of itself and independend from the movie.
This is also why I love the Philosopher's Stone GBC game the most of the handheld versions: it is just its own thing. It copies the dialog and plot from the book almost word for word and has almost nothing to do with the movies. It again is its own thing and doesn't try to copy scenes. It is so cool to see this weird version of Hogwarts. Makes a lot of fun exploring it!
I just wanna say how much I appreciate these videos. They were informative and entertaining. Which is nice since most UA-cam videos are one or the other. I found these bc I ordered every playstation and nintendo version of these. Wonderful to find out that they are all completely different games, instead of having 5-6 copies of the same game in a different shape
Finally, a game that answers the question "What if Harry Potter was an unhinged Star Wars Fan? (Pew Pew)"
I loved this series, both the videos and the games, it's got its ups and downs but playing each one back to back is a great journey
Have really enjoyed this series, it's validated my obsession with just how many different versions there were of the Harry Potter games and the fact this series led to developer interviews was cool information you couldn't get anywhere else.
i stumbled around this series today and already watched half of it. Very nice videos. I remember growing up with the half blood prince game and the struggle with brewing just as you told in your video, i really enjoyed it tho since i was very young and played on my dads computer. It was one of my first games ever, thx for bringing back that memory.
And thus, an era has come to an end.
Looking forward to the final ranking video's!
sad this series is over, it's very well made! looking forward to the future of the channel, glad I found you
I mean, FLIPENDO!!
Congrats, Flandrew. It's been a fun trip to see you review Harry Potter games. It certainlly bring back memeries of the younger times.
For me, my favourite Harry Potter game was the Order of the Phoenix on Xbox 360. I loved how the game wasn’t overly hard and made you feel immersed as a student at Hogwarts. The exploration was one of my favourite aspects of the game. The detail of the caste and its grounds was great because Hogwarts was a place I’ve always wanted to visit. As you explore Hogwarts you unlock different “extras” in the Room of Rewards that let you watch videos about the games development which was fun and interesting.
My least favourite game was the Goblet of Fire. Most people would probably agree. I simply could not find any fun or motivation to play that game after playing the first 15 minutes. It was awful and instead of going into detail as to why, let’s just forget it existed.
Glad I get to finish this series! What a wonderful content creator!
Thank you so much for doing these videos! It was wonderful to watch the comparison for all the games of HP
Probably the nostalgia, but Goblet of Fire was the first ever PS2 game I got, first ever video game period, back in Christmas 2005. Love it to this day.
Thank you so much for this opinion. I share it. For me it is the best. Only I played it on the PC (Your comment got to the next video - the big comparison)
Once again thanks
My favorite Harry Potter game will always be the PC version of Chamber of Secrets. I remember first getting it as a Christmas present as a kid and me and my family would play it all the time. I especially loved the bean bonus room it made me feel so happy every time I was around all those beans!
What a nice series, I discovered your channel with the first one and now I love every video you upload.
I'm happy to be here, can't wait for your next videos.
Great video as always Flandrew. :) I’ve enjoyed watching this whole series.
I'm moving to Northern Ireland and getting engaged this year. I'd love if we could talk about games in person. After watching this I am absolutely in line of thought that you Flandrew know games as if you grew up in my house. That is an amazing feeling to find someone online to speak as if they were from my childhood. Keep making awesome content and I'd like to meet you.
Thank you and congratulations on the engagement!
I'm guessing it's been fixed now, but when the PC version of this game first dropped there was a devastating glitch in the McGonagall v Giant level where her spells would just stop working during the QTE that marked the end of the level...you had to quit the game, disable something in the files, restart the game and finish the level, and then quit again to re-enable that thing! Added a bit of stress to Christmas morning, lemme tell ya!
It's been great watching your channel grow with these series, man! Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing you do more!
Absolutely loved all these retrospectives for these games, was amazing finding out all the different versions of each game, thanks so much!
My favourite Harry Potter game has got to be the Prisoner of Azkaban (PS2/GCN/Xbox), though I played it on PS2, it was the one I played the most and had the most fun on. It gives me so much nostalgia and I love going back to it every now and then, though I also like the Chamber of Secrets and the Order of the Phoenix on PS2 as well.
The worst one, in my opinion, is the Goblet of Fire, which was actually the first Harry Potter game I played, completed and threw out because it was just too tedious and boring. I try to imagine what the game would be like if it was kinda like a mix of COS and OOTP, I really think that's the direction the game should have went in, rather than a huge collect-a-thon.
what an awesome series, I’m really glad it introduced me to your channel! I think Chamber of Secrets remains the strongest of the franchise, but the Lego Harry Potter games are my personal favorite!
The Lego Harry Potter games are so good, I had such a blast playing them when I was young.
For me, the best one is Harry Potter 3 and the worst is 4. Actually after the 4 the series took a step down the first trilogy had something magical, which unfortunately the became more movie tie in and lost the uniqueness of the first 3 games. After the trilogy, I prefer to play the 6 one i had fun with my cousin in the duels
Really looking forward to the Poll, I have my predictions which I feel may be quite accurate, although these Polls can often give surprises and insights into the topic!
Loved this series! Need more of it, mentioning Zelda which I'm a huge fan of, it would be funny, but interesting to see your take and retrospective on them
Thank you Flandrew! Me and my family love this video serie!
Fantastic retrospective and reviews you have done! Thanks for the entertainment.
It's also worth mentioning that the combat system works marvelously with PS Move. It's honestly one of the better PS Move games. Swapping between abilities, whipping out your shield. You can pretty much ignore cover most of the time, feeling more like a PS2 throwback like Psi-Ops.
That said, for however much I've enjoyed Part 2, it's undeniable - Part 1 is the worst entry in the series. Even the blander middle year entries had some coherence to them. Part 1 feels like a proof of concept prototype that EA just published without concern for quality. It makes me grateful the final movie was split in half - at least then Part 2 had the time to be a functional game.
thank you Flandrew it's quite a ride watching these series
Top quality video. Looking forward to the next series
That pensieve moment is a really cool touch. With all the multiverse shenanigans the Marvel movies have been up to lately, it would be really neat to see one of the upcoming Marvel videogames do something similar and have you replay classic bits of old Marvel games as part of a side sequence, or at least show gameplay footage from them as a part of some cutscene.
Your sense of humor is always superb
Unpopular opinion but I really like the concept of just throwing yourself into a battlefield and beating the shit out of enemies in the HP world. Granted I havent played this game in like eight years, but I loved it back then. It was really fun
"The Yamcha of Harry Potter" 💀
It's an unpopular opinion but Order of the Phoenix was my favorite game, I absolutely loved the open world feel of it and I actually enjoyed all of the side content and getting to do quests around the castle for fellow students. I did multiple playthroughs of it. I of course loved the original 3, but OOTP is my favorite. I played Deathly Hallows Part 1 and didn't like it so I didn't even bother with Part 2. So I guess the Deathly Hallows games are my least favorite.
Not a fan of JKs recent comments on stuff, but It's also sad to see how the games went from imaginative to literally an FPS
Granted, I don't know how they would've pulled off what they did with the older games to Deathly Hallows.
thats why Legacy will be legendary
@@FrantzVissarionovitch yeah I'm not buying it or I'll buy pre owned becausenI don't want to give any more money to promote the IP of a woman like her
Well they kinda just followed the path of the film i think the first 3 one was more following kids in a magic school investigating things,following school years and not rll fighting
goblet of fire had the 3 sorcerer tournament which is why i think the games are more action focused
For the 5 and the 6 your back whit investigating hogwart and follow the school year
The last 2 movie/games tho well first 1 you arent even in hogwart but more important its where the group actively search to stop voldemort maybe the first part could have been a zelda like game but i think it would have been less good the second part tho its literally some sort of magical war you cant rll have made it an puzzle game it wouldnt have fitted at all
As a transgender HP fan it's been pretty heartbreaking to see JK spearhead a hate campaign against my and my kin's existence. Ah well, her loss, just means any further exploration of the wizarding world, I'll be sailing into from the seven seas.
Enjoyed all the happy Potter videos, already a fan of the channel so looking forward what you do next
My favorite is probably the Order of the Phoenix. At that time I had a very weak computer that did not run any games, and we played it at my friend's place, just wandering around the castle and throwing benches at the students
Really enjoyed this series, grew up with most of these games and stopped after Order of the Phoenix.
If I had to guess the best one will probably be Chamber of Secrets for the PS2/GC
I did enjoy the PS1 version for including more segments from the books. Plus the PS1 version of Sorcerer’s Stone (I’m American) did the same thing, like adding the troll and potions in the third floor corridor, it always gave me anxiety slowly lifting the furniture quietly out of the trolls way. I think the PC version added the potions as well but not the troll.
Hoping you touch upon the Lego Harry Potter games and the Quidditch World Cup
I have never been faster to a video than these darn harry potter vids
Chapters:

(Feel free to copy this into the video description to create UA-cam chapters)
I've loved watching this series, I look forward to what else is to come!
My vote would go to Sorcerer's Stone on GBC. It kept the whole plot of the book/movie while also branching out and imagining much of Hogwarts in its own unique way. Great music and no major gameplay problems either. It's still fun to play
Hate the series is over, your content rocks bro!
I really appreciate all the work you've made in these videos. But before doing a ultimate ranking. It would be cool if you included Harry Potter Kinect and The Wonderbook games of Spells and Potions. Then we can do a definitive Harry Potter ranking vote. :)
Great job on this series, I loved watching through it and it's what led me to your channel. Can't wait to see the poll results and your future videos.
Also favorite tie in Harry Potter game is chamber of secrets for pc.
But really we all know quidditch world cup is the best.
I still play Philosopher Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban on PS2. I play them at least once a year and they never disappoint me. They’re exactly as I remember and I enjoy every single time I play them. However, if I have to choose one, I’d go for the Chamber of Secrets. It was my first videogame ever and I have a lot of good memories playing it again and again. I enjoy the games from 4 to 7 too, but sadly they were very very different to the first three.
Thank you Flandrew for making this videos. I enjoy them a lot! Good job!
Nice, looking forward to the next series retrospective
For me, HP 1 and 2 for the PC are the best games. The nostalgia I get from playing these games is top notch. Also the music in these games is always a throwback for me. The exploration in HP2 is better compared to HP1 so I think HP2 is a little bit better than HP1.
HP4 for PC is one of the worst games I’ve ever witnessed, so repetitive and I didn’t felt the same feeling compared to HP1, 2 and 3.
Thank you for these nostalgic trips into my childhood! Keep it up with those Throwback-Video-Games! I’m looking forward for more videos like these. 🙂
I'm gonna be honest hp and the deathly hallows part 2 was one of my favourite hp games
Thank you so much for summarizing my childhood basically! Although I've never played DHp2, the first three PC parts, 5 and 6 are the games I hold so dear in my heart.
How about a bonus LEGO HP video?
I’ve got so many requests for them, that I’ll definitely have to cover them
Hey Flandrew Do Knights of the Old Republic!
All of the harry potter games give me so much nostalgia. I'm just glad I was a kid when I played them and didn't really understand how to identify a "bad game". Even though now realistically alot of them are bad I can still go back and play them and really enjoy them (Apart from Goblet Of Fire. That game can just go magic itself away from existence)
This series had a wild ride. Harry Potter 1-3 were all in the same style. the 4th game is its own beast. The 5 and 6th game were a pair. Then you have 7 part 1 and 2 which were a pair. All sets with different styles of gameplay and flow. I played them all on PS2 and Xbox 360.
1. Prisoner of Azkaban- This is my favorite because one it is the most nostalgic to me. I just really enjoyed the dungeons, switching characters, Hogwarts was interesting to explore albeit mostly barren outside. It just holds the most nostalgia to me.
2. Order of the Phoenix- This is here purely for the Hogwarts. The exploration of Hogwarts was at its peak here. Sure some people didn't like the rounding up Dumbledore section but I didn't mind it because exploring Hogwarts was so fun. The second round was much shorter and cut out the filler ones from round1. So you just had the portable swamps, Colin making you do parkour, and the twins sabotage tour. The gameplay in both combat and movement is a little off but not enough to make me too mad. Just laugh at it. Also Gobstones is fun as hell and is hands down one of my favorite minigames in all of my gaming experience. They even had a full on chess minigame that was impressive. Exploding snaps was fun enough but my least favorite of the three minigames. I just wish Myrtle didn't annoy me every time I leveled up.
3. Chamber of Secrets- I know this is most peoples absolute favorite. The game is good and I am not taking anything away from it. I just enjoy the next two more. Also the basilisk fight always seemed done weirdly to me.
4. Half-Blood Prince- I enjoyed the combat in this game. It was vastly improved on Orders. The other mini games not so much and the watered down exploration for me also holds it back. Seriously screw the potions minigame not fun for the colorblind.
5. Sorcerer Stone- This game is a very fun clone. The PC version was actually my very first game ever. I have so much nostalgia in my heart for this game.
6. Goblet of Fire- This ranks above the Deathly Hollow titles simply because I can play it and laugh at it with a friend. Plus other nostalgic reasons. I did have a Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire party before going to see the movie at theaters and then play the game all night long. Good night. I did really enjoy the maze level though.
7. Part 2- Vastly improves on part 1. The combat is more fun, Harry is more responsive, and there really is no padding. That being said the game is generic AF for sure. The montage at the end was a very nice touch though.
8. Part 1- It is just so tedious due to the amounts of filler this game shoves onto you. The scene of the tales of the three brothers was very well done though. Don't even get me started on the locket horcrux boss fight though. Ugh that thing was annoying.
Also the Lego Harry Potter games are surperior to all of these games and Quidditch World Cup is probably above Goblet maybe even Sorcerer but not any higher than that.
Hey I really enjoyed this series and I hope you cover more games released on different platforms, it's a really cool concept! My favourite Harry Potter game growing up was the Prisoner of Azkaban for the PS2, partly because it was based on the movie which I would watch over and over again as a child and partly because of the mechanic of switching between 3 main characters- seriously POA walked so GTA V could run. Also have a soft spot for Chamber of Secrets PS2, there was something so magical about it when I was little. I remember being at primary school just waiting til I could go home and run around diagon alley lol
Chamber Of Secrets on Pc was just my favorite and its just mostly that childlike times of loading it up on my old pc and walking around the castle it was my first pc game and it just had me in such a sense of wonder.
I would love to see you check out every version of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Been hanging out for your next episode!
This was a crazy retrospective. I never realized just how many different versions of the same Harry Potter game existed. I'd love to participate in the poll but I've only ever played the ps1 game for the first one and the ps2 game of the second one. Not really enough experience to say that I have a favorite and least favorite.
Congrats on finishing the series!!!
Never played any of these games but really enjoyed this series! Hope that when you rank them you tell us what you're personal ranking would be as well as what your viewers vote for.
Also, if you're still looking for another series to review, pretty sure Splinter Cell had different versions of each game released across different platforms, at least up until Double Agent anyway.
Watched Every harry Potter video of yours awesome man
Quite honestly? I think the Potter games were always at its best when they allowed you to explore Hogwarts. It plays directly into the fantasy of every fan of the series of going to school and learning magic. The three PC games emulated this better. Harry didn't suddenly forgot the spells he learned the previous year. Granted, the challenges to test you on your newly learned spell were over the top most of the time, but the way they designed them was actually fun and engaging. They could have thrown in a system like HBP's potion making mini game and a little more variety with their spells and potions and I think basically you could have gotten a very early version of what Hogwarts Legacy will be apparently.
Quick question: are you considering covering the early Portkey Games? You know, like Hogwarts Mystery and Wizards Unite, etc?
Awesome video as always
Already voted
The super-hero tie-in games also had a lots of differences, it would be a nice theme too
Hy Flandrew, greetings from Austria and thank you very much for this awesome series!!!! i enjoyed every minute.
My favourite HP game is with no doubt the flagship of Philosopher´s Stone.
I also liked Halfblood Prince, though the walking was annoying but interesting at the same time.
Thanks for the fun series!
