    If you're expecting some RPG elements you won't like this game. You are not free to choose wich spell to cast or play only 1 character, you gotta keep switching from harry to harmonie to ron etc... Spells are very very limited .. I think there are only 4 or 5 spells TOTAL. I finished the game in less than 1 day and what can I say ... I spent most of the time collecting beans and cards. It would take only 1 hour to finish the game if you cut all the bullshit off. And what was that BUNNY transforming spell.. jesus.... Seriously .. dont waste your time.. the only fun thing is Ron's voice. Expand

    I had problems getting my microsoft joystick to work with this game (on PC). So I contacted eagames help. They told me that it is simply not compatable with game controllers on PCs. A bit pathetic I think. Particularly after the problems before with XP incompatability with Philosopher's Stone and given the clear profits to be made with the Harry Potter games franchise, I think it';s about time EAgames got their act together.

    Jeez! It's not that bad. Yes, it is annoying that it is so simple to beat the core of the game, but there is a lot to be said for trying to beat all of the mini-games and finding all the wizard cards. Although, without those side-quests, the game would be pretty terrible.

    Unlike the movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban" is one horrendous game that is so easy to beat.

  1. For casual gamers and casual Harry Potter fans - diehards may be let down. [Nov 2004, p.82]
  2. Adds real depth to familiar characters and locations. Gamers not used to the Hogwarts world may still be impressed by the novel approach to the gameplay, the magical graphics and the well-balanced learning curve.
  3. Harry’s third PC outing falls short with simplistic easy gameplay and won’t hold fans’ attention for too long.
