    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a 2005 computer and video game that was released right before the film release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Both the game and the movie are based on J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth novel in the Harry Potter series. The game follows the three main characters of the film — namely Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley — and there is an entirely new spell-casting system that allows for collaborative spells. The characters themselves more closely resemble their film counterparts than in previous games. It also has higher-quality graphics than the previous Harry Potter video games. However, the game play in the fourth video game is much more action-oriented, which is a change from the previous games. In addition, players can play the game with friends, and can combine their magic and spells to make them more powerful. Players can also capture moving beans using Accio and increase their power with collectors, creature, and character, cards. There is no RPG iteration of the game, unlike with previous titles. In addition, it was pointed out that unlike the previous installments, there was not much room to "run around" such as in the second game where you were allowed to move freely within the castle and on the grounds. The game is divided into several non-consecutive levels, some of which are locked at the beginning of the game until the player collects enough Triwizard Shields to unlock it. It is noted as the last Harry Potter game released on GameCube and Xbox, its also the first Harry Potter Game to get an E10+ Rating in North America .… Expand

    Sorry for the low score but this game really deserves it. This is the fourth Harry Potter game to be released so you'd think EA would have realised they had a good game going. But no, They decided to change everything. You cannot change any graphics or screen resolutions. You cannot change any controls. In fact the only option in the "Options" panel is "Subtitles". This game is a real Console game. Nowhere near the great PC game it once was. The controls now consist of ONLY the keyboard. No mouse at all involved. The game overall is terrible. If you want a good game get one of the previous three. You'll like it better.… Expand

    Totally dated. A straight console port! No way to change the resolution (it's 800x600)... A shame

    HarryP. You must have horrible taste or be a small child.. most likely both. This is a shit game, pure and simple. Agrivating to no end. Most of the monsters spam attacks and your npc team is so stupid they just keep getting knocked down. The controls are horrible so you're constantly running into something that hurts you and makes your character scream and cry. Which is what this game made me too. Worst Ever!… Expand

    Really a treeible thing, not bieng able to choose the resoloution or controls. Well the controls are fine by me (I learn fast !!!). But i really want to increase the resolution. I got a 7800GT and it really is a shame to be playing at 800 x 600. (looks more like 640 x 480) The Anti Alaising was fixed with the control center for ATI and nVidia so that isnt a problem. On the whole the game is crap because of the camera angels. I quit playing this game and switched back to Farcry for the time bieng.… Expand

    I know a 1 is harsh, but i've waited for that game expecting a big thing, cause the three before were SO great. Now the controls have changed, you can't rotate the camera, you can't aim your spells, and its more like a RPG than an adventure game. I feel like i'm playing in my playstation 1 game again... You can't change controls OR resolution, or graphics, and you don't explore the whole castle, you chose levels, over and over again, cause when you get a shield, you go to the main screen again. Really dissapointing game, especially considering the previous three.… Expand

    The game's not perfect. There are some camera issues. Some AI issues. And I really would have preferred to have more control over spells. But it still arrives as a solid entry to the series. Kids will probably like it a lot.

    A remarkably solid and substantial game. Certainly no one should be ashamed of owning it or giving it as a gift this yuletide.

    It's a worthwhile platforming experience for hardcore Potter fans, but some may be put off by all the collection quests and backtracking.
