  • Summary: In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, AlAlbus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore’s Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead. With the ability to play multiple characters, including Harry Potter, Dumbledore and Sirius Black, the videogame of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix offers fans the opportunity to wield a wand, explore all around Hogwarts, and experience one of the most exciting and dangerous years in the life of the Boy Who Lived.

    A very entertaining game and an extremely good effort from Electronic Arts. Unfortunately, the problems such as the jerky camera, Ron and Hermione getting in the way and nonsensical lack of save points between missions do bring the gameplay down somewhat.

    The game might look and feel right but thanks to some glitches and gameplay features that just don’t work, this is not Harry’s finest moment.

    If you're fully under Potter's spell, though, a few dodgy viewpoints won't ruin the magic. [Sept 2007, p.116]

    The terrible frame rate, frustrating navigation, and bland gameplay result in a title that only the most diehard fans of Harry Potter should play. If you’ve got another system besides PSP, do yourself a favor and pick up the far superior home console version instead.

    This is game will appeal most to Harry Potter fans wanting to experience another adventure from the series. For people wanting a challenging game with lots of action should look elsewhere. The loading time and camera faults will be outweighed by a brilliant Hogwarts campus that fans of the books will enjoy. Potter addicts could spend hours simply wandering around the Castle and grounds. A must for Potter fans.… Expand

    Great graphics for PSP, fully spoken dialogues, explorable Hogwarts etc. its almost as good as its PC and other stuff siblings (in terms of gameplay, the PC version is much worse). The part that saddens me is the part where you are supposed to find four gargoyles without being told where they are. It took me so damn long I almost couldnt finish it. Otherwise, this game is well worth your money. And it costs VERY little money today.… Expand
