Once he runs out of HP games I'd like to see him do this with something like the Spiderman games. Spiderman 2&3 have a crazy amount of different versions.
I remember thinking I got scammed buying PC version of Spiderman 2 in Tesco, cause it was so different from all the screen i've seen of thr game everywhere, ugh..
@@Sanscripter it was the dark ages of gaming in one sense. Yeah you could have different experiences etc. with the same game on a different devices, but if you didnt know how different it is, well..
Andrew, I find it weirdly admirible that you seem to actually give an honest attempt at playing these games. Many other people making YT videos would just list off differences from a reddit comment or some Wiki page, but you actually seem to have tried the Wii version, and even the mobile version. It's cool, though likely a lot of work. Cheers
Half blood prince has the best post game. Where all the student and faculty are fine with Malfoy being a death eater, the teacher that everyone dislikes murders the headmaster of the school, and Voldemort splits his assets in 7 locations and let harry searched for them in the next two games. Best post game ever
The GBC Philosopher’s Stone is one of the treasured memories of my childhood. I really wish they’d continued down that route with later games, it felt like the perfect combination of gameyness and exploration. Imagine that kind of creativity and kooky uniqueness in design with the graphical and performance capabilities of later generations
Unless you meant GBC which Griptonite Games did for the first two games then GBA for the third, for some dumb reason EA didn't bring them back for the fourth game's DS version (maybe because Foundation 9 hadn't revived them yet? They shut down between 2005 and 2007). Griptonite Games was eventually sold to Glu Mobile. A truly bad ending for everyone.
For me it is the GBA version of the Prisoner of Azkaban, good lord, I spent so much time as a kid trying to 100% it xD, it was also made by the same studio that did the GBC's versions of PS and CoS
I would love to see a video on The Sims 2, they were SOOO different on DS, PSP, PC, PlayStation, Gameboy. It’s crazy how the DS, PSP and GBA had the same plot, running a creepy desert hotel but were all so different
2:28 "Unfortunately you can't have one sentence conversation with the NPC students anymore." NPC girl: "Ok, Harry..." Harry: *"HEYYYY!!!"* 😂😂😂 i laughed so hard with this!!
It is crazy to think how they used to have a movie tie in game all the time for major blockbusters and now they've all but disappeared. For every 10 bad ones, their was always a gem. Shame they went away
To be fair, I think it’s for the best. Nowadays, making a good game in a short amount of time is simply impossible, and whatever they could put together would stand out like hell from other video games. It would be a waste of resources and people’s work. Fans also deserve more than few repeating sequences and copy- pasted assets. I’m really enjoying the era of licensed games that are in. Games being their own thing in a familiar universe just gives so much freedom to the devs!This is how we can get games that are both set in the beloved universes and are also just objectively good - not good because of pink glasses of nostalgia.
To be fair, 99% of them were horrible, but 7-year old me didn't care! The tie-in games tended to be cheaper as well, had a blast playing the Over The Hedge and Asterix games as a kid
I love tie-in games, novels, boardgames, toy-lines, and merchandise in general. It's just so interesting to see how movies are translated into these other mediums, agreed?
Tie-in games like this are a lost art I think. It seemed that once ago every major film that was released had some sort of video game accompaniment, and although it's been said time and time again that these sort of games were generally not very good, there's something about their presence that I miss, like they added to the experience of the movies they were based on. These days, we're fortunate (though I use the term loosely) to see a major film even have a phone app tie-in, never mind a big console/PC game.
Absolutely. It's a shame how much of a dying art it is right now. There's occasionally a few here and there but for the most part, the best they get is a mobile game. Imagine how a Spiderman no way home tie in game on consoles would play like.
Fun fact: if you watch episodes of America's Got Talent from around the time this game released onwards, you'll notice that during the intermissions they actually use this game's soundtrack, like the dueling and potion games, as they sit and talk at the judges' bench. I don't know if WB or EA gave them permission, or if the soundtrack is actually royalty free. I remember playing this as a kid with my mom and we both heard it on AGT several times on several episodes.
@@supernoob17 yeah, back then they had this small area of video games, PS2 and Wii games. I haven't been there since I was a child, but I don't think they have the game section anymore.
Absolutely love this series good work man! I never played all of the games but your presentation is hilarious and has just the right amount of depth to the analysis. Any ideas on the next series of games you will do? I'd be interested to see something like Lord of the Rings or even Eragon even though it's only one game.
This was the last Harry Potter Movie game worth a damn because they decided to make the Deathly Hallows games crappy third person shooters. Although to be fair the DS version of the Deathly Hallows games was okay.
I like your mixture of facts, gameplay, and humor in these videos. I never played the later Harry Potter games (GoF is as far as I went) but it's neat to see what actually happened with them. Though to be honest I'm kinda glad I stopped with GoF, because what I really enjoyed was the Zelda-like aspects of the first three games.
6:06 exactly, I remember this distinctly, any duel would actually just take 2 spells, there's one that takes some time to load but it's stronger, death Eathers never saw it coming...
Fantastic video as always! It's just a little bit disheartening that we are now closing in on the end of the main Harry Potter games, sure has been a lot of fun!
Whilst this game improved upon the OotP game in terms of gameplay, I always much preferred the depiction of Hogwarts in the OotP game. It felt so much more full and immersive what with all the students hanging around (which seemed to drastically decrease with HBP) and ways to interact with the environments, as well as many of the characters being voiced by their film counterparts (and in that respect the HBP game also drastically decreased the number of recognisable characters compared to OotP. There are hardly any of Harry's classmates other than Hermione/Ron/Ginny/Katie/Draco/Crabbe/Goyle VS almost everyone from the 5th film in the OotP game).
i feel similar, i really have a fond memories of Order of the phoenix on the PS2, really weird they never did a harry potter game like it should after the lesson Ootp was (hopes up for hogwarts legacy tho? idk, life is weird rn so maybe its too late)
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
basically ootp had the exploration but barely anything else, while hbp had everything else but because of that limited the exploration. kinda sucks because the first 3 games had both the exploration and all of the gameplay features and those games are OLDER than 5 and 6 so it blows that we only got one good aspect from each game but not both goblet of fire and deathly hallows on the other hand are atrocious deviants hahaha
Somehow I skipped the Order of the Phoenix game after owning the first 4, but I loved this game on the PS2 (despite the lower graphical quality, which I didn't notice from not having a PS3/X360 at the time). Being able to truly feel like you were exploring Hogwarts was amazing, dueling was super cool if a bit easy, and hunting down all the shields was something fun to do after beating the game (giving off Legend of Zelda vibes trying to find all the heart pieces with minor puzzle solving) oh and yeah the speed force running lol
Every now and then you stumble across a channel that feels like it was made just for you! Have ADORED the Star Wars vids, especially for finally diving into the massively under-discussed Phantom Menace game (would love a versions vid on that btw, like there's not MANY differences but as someone who had it on PS1 and PC I know there are several - most pointedly the Thermal Detonator being massively nerfed on the PS1, while being MIRV level recklessly destructive on PC. I remember having so much fun with HBP - one of those games like PM that's SO FLAWED but with so much to enjoy. Particular highlight is a final scene after Snape owns Harry, and Hagrid walks out to deliver the cheeriest of "YARYT 'ARRY?"''s, whilst his hut stands a blazing inferno behind him - absolute classic. Thank you Flandrew, absolutely loving your vids!
I was SO waiting for this one! After having the first 3 for PC being childhood classics in my life, the demo for the 4th one made me take a break from the franchise. Years later I got a copy from HBP for the DS and all I could think was "...what happened to this franchise???". Glad to see it being addressed now!
I remember being so excited for this game as a 12-year-old. Had the release date memorized, and convinced my mom to get me to the mall before it even opened to buy this from GameStop with my own cash for the PS3. Wound up beating the game hours later, but still played it for the rest of the summer. Tons of fun!
I remember enjoying the wii version a lot actually, maybe its not as fun when you have to replay the same game 4 times, but I remember LOVING dueling and liking potions, I think I even wanted to 100% it but got lazy lol
@@jamj59 I remember spending hours as a kid and could never find the last one even though it felt like I searched the entire map top to bottom. I didn't really know what the internet was so couldnt look it up, and eventually gave up with 124/125 of the crests.
My favorite parts of the Wii version were the dueling clubs, the sprinting instead of walking, and the Felix Felicis. My favorite part of the DS was the gob stones mini games.
Loving this series of videos! Can we have More coverage of the DS version next time, please? I didn’t get a sense of of its competent/fun enough for my child :) a video going through the games in chrono order of release on handhelds to compare/contrast improvements (and detriments) across iterations, etc might be interesting in its own right.
Thank you for your outstanding work! This marks the last decent Harry Potter movie tie in game. Hopefully you make it through the grueling Deathly Hallows games. 💪
So I haven't been a subscriber for very long, I saw your first couple of "All versions of Harry Potter" videos and I really like the fact that you're going in more of that direction for your content. After you run out of Harry Potter and Star Wars games, I'm really curious to see which franchises you're going to do next!
I could play PoA or OotP over and over again, but I'm done with this one after 8 or so glitchy, failed potions. Not to mention getting accosted by slytherins every few meters
You gotta admire the composer for this game, this time James Hannigan, he truly respected Jeremy Soule because he snuck his themes of Hogwarts across the castle and didn't really try to outdo him with his own themes, although the Potion-making OST slaps real hard!
I finally want to start all those HP games. Your comparisons are absolute gold! Helps a lot to decide which version(s) to play. Definitely going to play some of them several times on different systems to get the most out of it.
i love this humor lol i was having a blah day then i stumbled onto this vod and ill say my fav humor moment is this entire vod lol amazed that not alot of people are seeing this satire as gold lol relating this to real life is freaking hilarious esp after you pointed it out that hagred has the consistency of a chocolate Santa i can say that about alot people i see on a day to day basis lmao!!
This game was a let down compared to OOTP in my opinion. In OOTP you had a huge castle full of secrets, objects you could interact with, characters you could talk to. But in this game the castle is just a static set piece you use to run around from one of three minigames to another. No objects to interact with, no secrets to find, only lame shields to collect.
I loved Order of the Phoenix, I did multiple playthroughs of it as a kid. I don't understand the hate it gets. Half Blood Prince was the last Harry Potter game I ever played, the Deathly Hallows games were just CoD clones.
I remember my brother getting the Half Blood Prince game on DS from a game store that was closing down at the time. Neither of us finished the game because we got stuck on a certain potions level
I have such a strong nostalgia for the flagship version of this game despite the property it's connected to, the sense of scale to this digital castle is incredible. I'm also glad I've found another person who appreciates the sense of humour this game has! The on-rails felix felisis segment is hilarious given the context of the potion itself!
12:09 later on in the PSP's life most big companies didn't bother making good ports for the PSP and made upscaled versions of the DS version instead. This also happened a lot with the Lego games from that era (Indiana Jones 2, Lego Star Wars 3, Pirates of the Caribbean come to mind)
This is the 2nd video of yours I've seen. I really like your style.. Although, I would prefer it as an hour long video or something. Like 14 min just leaves me wanting more of your thoughts on a particular game/topic
Great video, as usual. Not enough versions, and not enough differences between versions. I miss Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, back when there were five completely frickin' different games for each one.
Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:45 PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/PC 9:33 PlayStation 2 9:57 Nintendo Wii 11:06 Nintendo DS/PSP 12:34 Mobile 13:00 Conclusion (Feel free to copy this into the video description to create UA-cam chapters)
Once he runs out of HP games I'd like to see him do this with something like the Spiderman games. Spiderman 2&3 have a crazy amount of different versions.
He will never run out lmao

There’s a ridiculous amounts of games like these he’s prolly good for a while
Web of shadows, friend or foe etc

It's cool, though likely a lot of work. Cheers
It adds something which keeps me coming back and rewatching the videos. There’s a genuineness to it.
I respect the dedication to his craft and attention to detail
Half blood prince has the best post game. Where all the student and faculty are fine with Malfoy being a death eater, the teacher that everyone dislikes murders the headmaster of the school, and Voldemort splits his assets in 7 locations and let harry searched for them in the next two games. Best post game ever
The GBC Philosopher’s Stone is one of the treasured memories of my childhood. I really wish they’d continued down that route with later games, it felt like the perfect combination of gameyness and exploration. Imagine that kind of creativity and kooky uniqueness in design with the graphical and performance capabilities of later generations
The only two Harry Potter games Eurocom made were that one and Harry Potter for Kinect.
I _really_ wish I was making the second part up.
Unless you meant GBC which Griptonite Games did for the first two games then GBA for the third, for some dumb reason EA didn't bring them back for the fourth game's DS version (maybe because Foundation 9 hadn't revived them yet? They shut down between 2005 and 2007). Griptonite Games was eventually sold to Glu Mobile. A truly bad ending for everyone.
@@mattwo7 oh yeah that's what i meant lol. typo

The magic system was boring as hell though in those early versions. Never felt really magical just pressing a button

Games being their own thing in a familiar universe just gives so much freedom to the devs!This is how we can get games that are both set in the beloved universes and are also just objectively good - not good because of pink glasses of nostalgia.
To be fair, 99% of them were horrible, but 7-year old me didn't care! The tie-in games tended to be cheaper as well, had a blast playing the Over The Hedge and Asterix games as a kid
@@jemert96 exactly. The og spiderman game wasn't amazing but still fun. Now spiderman 2 tho was groundbreaking
Now a days it's the opposite: If a game is popular enough they'll make films about it.
I love tie-in games, novels, boardgames, toy-lines, and merchandise in general. It's just so interesting to see how movies are translated into these other mediums, agreed?
Tie-in games like this are a lost art I think.

@@mythmaker6554 even The Da Vinci Code has a tie in game. It truly is a lost art

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
It's crazy but the lack of health bars helped immersion for me.

Had the release date memorized, and convinced my mom to get me to the mall before it even opened to buy this from GameStop with my own cash for the PS3. Wound up beating the game hours later, but still played it for the rest of the summer. Tons of fun!
Excellent. Been waiting for this one.
Another great video bud, you can tell how much more confident you are on the mic. The hard work is paying off mate, keep up the great work.
New Flandrew video, it’s gonna be a good fuckin day.
I remember enjoying the wii version a lot actually, maybe its not as fun when you have to replay the same game 4 times, but I remember LOVING dueling and liking potions, I think I even wanted to 100% it but got lazy lol
Same here - took hours to find all those crests
@@jamj59 I remember spending hours as a kid and could never find the last one even though it felt like I searched the entire map top to bottom. I didn't really know what the internet was so couldnt look it up, and eventually gave up with 124/125 of the crests.
@@Braincain007 i remember using UA-cam videos to find all of them so i cheated :( but yes it was a real grind
Love these videos comparing versions of games! Gj dude!
My favorite parts of the Wii version were the dueling clubs, the sprinting instead of walking, and the Felix Felicis. My favorite part of the DS was the gob stones mini games.
Loving this series of videos! Can we have More coverage of the DS version next time, please? I didn’t get a sense of of its competent/fun enough for my child :) a video going through the games in chrono order of release on handhelds to compare/contrast improvements (and detriments) across iterations, etc might be interesting in its own right.
Dude holy shit!!! Thank you for this, I just watched the ootp video and was sad to not see a half blood prince video. New viewer here thanks again
Keep um coming your doing these videos pretty fast and got consistently good quality. Cheers broski
Thank you for your outstanding work! This marks the last decent Harry Potter movie tie in game. Hopefully you make it through the grueling Deathly Hallows games. 💪
So I haven't been a subscriber for very long, I saw your first couple of "All versions of Harry Potter" videos and I really like the fact that you're going in more of that direction for your content. After you run out of Harry Potter and Star Wars games, I'm really curious to see which franchises you're going to do next!
Thank yo ufor going miles upon miles with these videos. It has been so interesting!
I could play PoA or OotP over and over again, but I'm done with this one after 8 or so glitchy, failed potions. Not to mention getting accosted by slytherins every few meters
Not gonna lie. When my sister and I played HBP on PS2 for the first time, we both beat it in roughly 4 hours, not counting the post-game content.
I love this style of series you're doing for various franchises! Always gives me something to look forward to after a long day. Keep it up!
Greatest series on UA-cam, can’t wait for the next one 🤌🏻
Oh no only 2 videos left!! I love this series
The record player scratch effect was so HILARIOUS! I remember it like yesterday!
I played through the ps2 version probably 20+ times. Loved this game!
I’m sorry the record scratch at 5:20 gotta be one of the funniest things they ever did in the HP games
2:55 GOTTA GO FAST
this is now my favorite series on youtube, i'm anxiously waiting for the next videos
I love this series! Can’t wait for the next one :D
You gotta admire the composer for this game, this time James Hannigan, he truly respected Jeremy Soule because he snuck his themes of Hogwarts across the castle and didn't really try to outdo him with his own themes, although the Potion-making OST slaps real hard!
0:03 If Rockstar made a harry potter game
I remember playing this on the PS2 and honestly other than some potions stuff and Nick leading you around and that Ron section that's all I remember
Thanks for the videos! Love it
I finally want to start all those HP games. Your comparisons are absolute gold! Helps a lot to decide which version(s) to play. Definitely going to play some of them several times on different systems to get the most out of it.
i love this humor lol i was having a blah day then i stumbled onto this vod and ill say my fav humor moment is this entire vod lol amazed that not alot of people are seeing this satire as gold lol relating this to real life is freaking hilarious esp after you pointed it out that hagred has the consistency of a chocolate Santa i can say that about alot people i see on a day to day basis lmao!!
2:08 Did he eat the Gum-Gum Fruit?
This game was a let down compared to OOTP in my opinion. In OOTP you had a huge castle full of secrets, objects you could interact with, characters you could talk to. But in this game the castle is just a static set piece you use to run around from one of three minigames to another. No objects to interact with, no secrets to find, only lame shields to collect.
how you can produce one video per week at that level of quality is mind blowing
Sleep is overrated
I loved Order of the Phoenix, I did multiple playthroughs of it as a kid. I don't understand the hate it gets. Half Blood Prince was the last Harry Potter game I ever played, the Deathly Hallows games were just CoD clones.
I remember my brother getting the Half Blood Prince game on DS from a game store that was closing down at the time. Neither of us finished the game because we got stuck on a certain potions level
Whoooo!!!! Looking forward to this! Haha
That record scratch actually being in the game is so hilarious
I think I permanently damaged my wrist by playing potions minigame using mouse....
screw physics broken duels is where i am now we wait for both deathly hallows games
Your channel must grow
I have such a strong nostalgia for the flagship version of this game despite the property it's connected to, the sense of scale to this digital castle is incredible. I'm also glad I've found another person who appreciates the sense of humour this game has! The on-rails felix felisis segment is hilarious given the context of the potion itself!
Great work as always with these harry potter games, waiting for the next one now 👀
You’re on absolute fire with this video
Love this series keep it up man!
Played this over and over on the Wii for a few years
The hot ones reference was unexpected but had me laughing
Lol the guy moaning when you run into him is beautiful
Honestly the PC version for HBP is awesome. The potion making mechanics and the dueling are so immersive. Love this game
12:09 later on in the PSP's life most big companies didn't bother making good ports for the PSP and made upscaled versions of the DS version instead. This also happened a lot with the Lego games from that era (Indiana Jones 2, Lego Star Wars 3, Pirates of the Caribbean come to mind)
Yeah it’s a bit odd how they couldn’t manage to fit PS2 games onto the PSP.
Top 10 NOT pog moments
Best part of this game are Harry's outfit changes and getting to play as other characters for a bit.
Wow, I only watched the Order of the Phoenix video half an hour ago!
This is the 2nd video of yours I've seen. I really like your style.. Although, I would prefer it as an hour long video or something. Like 14 min just leaves me wanting more of your thoughts on a particular game/topic
Great video, as usual. Not enough versions, and not enough differences between versions. I miss Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, back when there were five completely frickin' different games for each one.
I can't remember if played this or order of the Phoenix, but this video unlocked some deep memories
'I can't help feeling judged on main menu' lmao!!
This game was a comedy from start to finish, and in that regard I loved it.
The godammm sprinting lmaoooooo
Love your sense of humor man!
Oh boy I feel bad for you having to review the last games Harry Potter and the shooting simulator lol

Strut your stuff Ron lol
Shark eyes? More like they're tripping more ball than a Pokémon trainer.
Cant wait for the last Harry potter games deathly hallows has the best portable games on both nds and the PSP
Glad to see Harry's onset Parkinson's hasn't fully gone away yet.
Your jokes give me proper belly laughs, well worth the wait! 😂
Harry looking confused in the menus represents all of us playing this game for the first time.
The hot ones reference had me rolling! 😂🤣
These videos give me life
This series it’s quite interesting. Keep going!
PS2 Harry looks like someone killed him, carved off his face, and pretended to be him at Hogwarts with a skin mask 🤣
6:22 identical masterpiece
The record scratch made me die laughing there's no way you didn't add that in
