    It reminds me a lot of Zelda, actually, which is a great thing... A shining example of how licenses should be realized in videogame form.

    For Quidditch fans, there's a thrilling version of the aerial sport. [15 Nov 2002, p.144]

    Obviously Potter-ignorant muggles need not apply, but would-be wizards (or witches) looking for a lil' magic this year should give Secrets a try. [Dec 2002, p.228]

    The rich gameplay and engaging story give the game an appeal that very nearly rises above the rough visuals, and they definitely capture the spirit of the books.

    While a lot of the gameplay is uninspired, there are a lot of missions and levels that are not boring. The game has a lot of surprises and secrets that make it addicting to play.… Expand

    I rented this game and beat it in one night.... now no game should be this way.... I am only giving it a 5 because I loved Quiddich! The game is worth renting, but not purchasing!… Expand

    This game is horrible. The dungeons are predictable and repetitive. Spells are pointless; they can only need to be used in the dugeon you get. Not enough fighting with spells. Loved the RPG gameboy version. Day go to class at night do a stupid mission...BORING. Only reason I gave this game a 1 is because of graphics and mini-games. Worst game I have for gamecube. The sad thing is I am a Harry Potter fan.… Expand
