A fine portable adventure game, and as licensed movie games go, it's downright remarkable. The game is on the easy side, but it's good fun even for advanced players; they'll just blow through it more quickly, that's all.
-
83The game doesn't include all of the additional features of the Nintendo DS version but includes enough to make it a worthwhile purchase if you don't own Nintendo's newer handheld.

The lack of RPG depth is a disappointment, but the titles are solid additions to the Harry Potter gaming world. [Jan 2006, p.107]
-
77This is essentially the same as the DS version minus the touch and dual screen features. Unless you hold the games side-by-side as I did you won't be able to pick out many differences.
-
74While the GBA title pushes the system and gives players a truly impressive one-player package mixed with a few multiplayer elements, the DS version only adds to the previous game with duel mode and a few mini-games.
-
Sure, the story mode and graphics are almost identical to the DS, but the DS features are what really made the game stand out, and they are understandably missing here.
-
With overly long levels, it's built for road trips, but will quickly become played out within a few days. If you have to buy a Harry Potter game for the road, consider getting the DS rendition of Goblet of Fire.
-
66Goblet of Fire is a decent game, but exploring the large levels becomes repetitive after a while.
-
40Most companies believe slapping a license is work enough, and while the Goblet of Fire isn't a terrible adventure, it's not nearly as compelling from a visual or gameplay standpoint than what you could pick up for your GameCube.
