Yet, the game still ranks quite highly. Why? Because it has an undeniable, loveable charm and a to-this-day fantastic atmosphere. Little-known UK developer Argonaut Games were given the task of being the first to bring Harry’s world to home consoles and they did an admirable job, setting up the gameplay elements to come. Sure, you have to get past the hilarious idea of Hogwarts sending its students (usually a silent, dopey Harry) on increasingly dangerous missions to pass classes, but the Zelda-lite gameplay oddly fits the world wonderfully.

In 2005, World of Harry Potter was released for PC, containing all of the first three novel games, and the Quiddich World Cup game. [15] Following Prisoner of Azkaban, EA, specifically EA UK (which was later renamed as EA Bright Light), took charge of creating all versions of the game. The PC and Mac releases were developed as ports of the console release. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), the style from previous titles was reduced to a more linear, level-based system, as the character followed certain scenes from the film. Multiplayer components were factored into the game's release: up to three players from the same console. [16] This was also the first game in the series to be released on Nintendo DS. [17]Anyone who has seen the movie that this game is based on will know that there is very little material that can be adapted for gameplay, and blimey does it show here. Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is an atrocious game, marking the moment where publisher EA decided the only logical place to take the Potter series was into cover-based shooter territory. It kind of makes sense, seeing as the last book (and movie) ends with some explosive action. But because Part 1 is mostly set in quiet camping environments, developer EA Bright Light had to get… creative. The result? Not only the worst Potter game, or one of the worst third-person shooter games, but one of the worst games I have ever played, period.

A total of 17 games have been released in the Harry Potter franchise for more platforms than you can fill a Room of Requirement with. This list will cover the 13 mainline console entries, from Philosopher’s Stone on the PlayStation up to 2013’s Book of Potions for the PlayStation 3.

Developer Eurocom took the basic formula of Argonaut Games’ Philosopher’s Stone and advanced it for the next console generation, creating a game that many will distinctly remember as the best. Chamber of Secrets took the first game’s principles and expanded them, letting players explore a gorgeous Hogwarts as they uncovered mysteries and collected Bertie Bott’s Beans to trade for items with Fred and George. Yes, the lesson trials got even more ridiculously perilous and the logic of the classes got Flipendo’d out the window, but each one had a distinctive atmosphere with a new spell waiting at the end of each dungeon.
