    As we approach the release of the fantastic-looking Hogwarts Legacy, it's a good time to look back at the plethora of Harry Potter games received over the last two decades. As we go through each and every Harry Potter game, you may start to understand why even non-Harry Potter fans such as myself are excited about this game.

      @@retrorebound8887 I think they're a really good mix of book and movie details (for the PC and PS2/Xbox/GC versions in particular; the PS1 versions had some really odd moments that strayed way off the mark) which allowed the devs quite a bit of freedom to inject them iwth a lot of whimsy and charm, especially in the art direction. The later ones are completely railroaded into being gamified versions of the films.
      It was especially sad to see Peeves telling the trio at the end of the PoA console game that he would see them next year lol... knowing that he would be missing until the Lego games / Hogwarts Legacy.

      The reason why Jeremy Soule doesn’t do more work is because of allegations of Sexual assault and harassment. To my knowledge it was settled out of court and he has been quiet since.
      His music is nostalgic for me and perfectly complements John Williams’s score, but it’s important to recognize the history.

However, my favorite of the bunch was the Chamber of Secrets game boy color version that was the sole game my sister owned. That game was so fun, immersive, and covered more of the book and the world then the movies in a final fantasy kind of style!! Going around and collecting wizard cards and building your magical creature info book, or playing ghost bowling with old Nick and the gnome toss challenge, ahhh…there was just so much detail and explanation in that game.

I’m kind of surprised Matty didn’t talk about the PC versions of Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets (and possibly Prisoner of Azkaban). Then again, the only way to play those PC versions is to get a cracked/pirated version of them due to their usage of install codes on the back of the cases no longer supported on Windows

    I remember someone bringing The Philosopher's Stone on PS1 to the place where we hang out after school and me playing the Gringotts minecart stage. Being a fan of the book and movie I instantly fell in love with it and so I got it for my birthday that year. It is janky and so bad it's good, but fuck me I loved that game!
    Then when The Chamber of Secrets came out (still my favorite of the movies), I wanted the PS1 version because that was the only one where you play the scene where Harry and Ron outrun the Hogwarts Express in the flying car... but instead I got the GBA version where both it and the confrontation with Aragog in the Forbidden Forest was cutscene-only. Still loved the game though despite its shortcomings.
    For Prisoner of Azkaban I had upgraded to a PS2 and so I got that game for my birthday and loved the hell out of it as well, especially flying around Hogwarts on a hippogrif.
    The rest of the games I bought for my own money used long after they released but they also got worse and worse.

    I 100% was both a LOTR and HP fanboy as a kid in the early 2000s. I also loved (still do) Star Wars. Generally the kids around my age used to love a combo of at least two of those franchises.
    Many or even most of us even loved Pokémon, as well. I remember so many times being at my best friend's place, he had a TV and couch in his room even at 11 years old. He also had a playstation 2 with sockets for 4 controllers.
    On that playstation we spent hundreds of hours playing Star Wars Battlefront 2, Lego Star Wars 1 or Revenge of the Sith. If we weren't playing on the playstation then we were playing Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire OR Prisoner of Azkaban on our flip-Gameboy Advances while watching a movie like Star Wars or LOTR, or a TV show like The Simpsons. And we had a lot of hours logged on Pokémon too.

    I cannot stress how great the potion brewing minigame is in the Wii version of Half-Blood Prince.
    It's all motion-controls, and the controls are all so natural feeling. You target vials by point & click, then raise your Wii Remote to pick it up, then pour it like you're pouring a real glass of liquid. You can pour things as quickly or as slowly as you want, and it's just a ton of fun.
    As a kid, I used to boot up the game all the time just to sit down and play potions for 30 minutes.

Matty THE EYE TOY!!! window washing, ninja chopping, plate spinning, that one where they would mirror you and you had to like fit in a frame or something??? that game was literally my entire childhood with my brother and friends for a good 2 or 3 years. i remember playing a lot of things on 'easy mode' by standing really close to the camera and moving around haha. i would absolutely fucking LOVE to see a video on that. if you do, please go through every different mode in that original game. and dont forget about Eye Toy: Play and Play 2, i never played them but thats the beauty of this channel!
    -your friend with the open back headphone advice. i was also on an episode of Ham Live with Paul and talked to you guys about settlement mode in Starfield haha

    The first three Harry Potter games on PC, as well as Philosopher's Stone on PS1 (all completely different versions from the PS2/Xbox versions) are my favourites and are so nostalgic to play. I still go back to them every now and then. I would absolutely love if you covered them in some way on this channel.

      @@godussop391 He was mainly talking about the PS2 versions of the first three which are completely different from the PS1 and PC versions (they don't even share the same development teams). The PS2/Xbox versions of those games, while still decent, are the ones I like the least, which is why I was saying he should cover the PS1 and PC versions in more depth.

    I thought about selling my old HP games, but the memories are too good to exchange for money.
    About memories: i have two versions of the chamber of secrets: first one was the dutch version, second one in English. The first version was so over played that the game stopped working right before the first duel between harry and draco. For like two years i only played the beginning of the game over and over again until i finally found the game again in a local toy store and begged my mom to buy it again for me

    I grew up with GBA so both Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire GBA versions were part of my childhood. And I gotta say. The GBA version of Goblet of Fires only thing it does better is you only need to play each level once which makes it astronomically better, but it still sucks. My brother had them for PS2 and I never got to play so when I watched him play I never got you had to go back and look for more crests on each level so I thought I wish I could play it. Well many years later as an adult I got a preowned 360 and preowned copies of the first 4 Harry Potter games on OG XBOX and can say I should have been more careful of what I wished for. I also got the last 4 on Wii, the Lego collection on PS4 and preordered copy of Hogwarts Legacy Digital Deluxe now predownloading on my PS5. I played Quidditch World cup on GameCube at my friends place when I was little, but as someone that was never a sports fan I enjoy Quidditch a bit, but think of it more of as a minigame thing.

    Quidditch World Cup will always be my favorite. It was the first game I personally owned. All the other games I played before that were my brothers games that my mom forced them to share with me. It is in desperate need of a remake especially because there isn't quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy.

    The PS1 _Harry Potter_ games were my favorites growing up. I wish I had the opportunity to play _Quidditch World Cup_ but I didn't have a PS2 at the time, and by the time I did, I forgot about it.
    I know it's been said so many times, but _Hogwarts Legacy_ is the exact type of game Potterheads like myself envisioned whenever we played these early _Harry Potter_ games.

      There’s something about the Lego games man I just love all of them. Speaking of that if you haven’t played it yet I’d highly recommend checking out the recent lego the sky walker saga game that covers all of Star Wars pretty much. It’s so good and is a remake of the Lego Star Wars games from years before

      @@jeremyroberts8822 yeah I've actually checked that out from many videos, and gameplay wise it looks pretty wild in terms of innovation.
      I'm personally over star wars though, still think it's fun but not that interested in it anymore.
      In general I didn't enjoy much of the writing in that game, can be hit or miss with lego games I noticed, but if they can continue to make other things like DC or Marvel games with that level of gameplay I'll be interested enough to keep my eye on it.

    I grew up loving both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. In my area people loved both for different reasons, but never really compared the two. As a kid I played the early games on GBA but never the console versions until last year when I saw a video comparing all the versions by Flandrew. I bought the first three games for PS2 and never looked back. I tried playing the first console game after beating the second, but it was too derivative of the former. I enjoyed Prisoner of Azkaban much more than the PS2 version of Sorcerer's Stone.

    5:17 I never expected someone to open an old manual for a game and say it's boring when nowadays there aren't even any manuals at all for modern games. Also back then all manuals, or most manuals were black and white on the inside. (edit: ok I didnt expect the later once to also be black and white lol)
    It should also be noted that the copy of Philosophers stone you have was released after Chamber of secrets, which is also why it looks so similar to it. They wanted to rework the old one to match with the new one and have a game to release while there was no new movie.
