The house-points are totalled up on your options screen; nice teachers give them for success, and according to tradition, nasty professor Snape takes them away in a desultory fashion. Once the spell is learnt, you can use it in the game. Each class contains a challenge that you as Harry are sent on. You're only able to succeed if you use your spells correctly, which is simpler than it might sound.
Taking up the spellcasting stance with the press of a button, you can direct your wand to the objects around you. If it's 'spellable', then the spell icon shows up and you can cast upon it. This will either open the pathway, gain you some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, a collectable Wizard Card, one of the challenge stars needed to complete the task or give you a chocolate frog to restore your health. If you manage to find 24 of the cards, and of the beans through unlocking secret areas, you unlock a special secret wizard card.
We'd give you more info but we missed the secret area in the Quidditch lesson - bah! This brings us neatly to the flying broomstick game. Starting with a quick lesson with Zoe Wannamaker or rather, her digital equivalent , you're quickly spotted as a star Quidditch player, and promoted to the house team!
Through this convenient plot device, you're propelled into an all-star match against the other houses. As the seeker, your task is to zoom around the pitch and pick up the snitch, a tiny golden ball with wings, to clinch the match. In fact, it's probably the trickiest part of the game, and certainly the most fun, which is why the title includes a separate Quidditch league where the enlightened player can zoom and swoop to their heart's content to build their way up the league.
You can even have private tuition with the Quidditch teacher to improve your lacking broomstick skills. Control has been simplified to appeal to all ages, but this leaves you feeling a little bit clumsy.
You can move back and forwards, turn left and right, jump, and use a spell, with the mouse being indicated as the sensible way to look around. However mouse control is incredibly awkward, so we ended up moving around with the arrow keys - the lack of a strafe only causing occasional annoyance.
Much of the game is platform-style, not dissimilar to a certain Ms Croft's escapades. The way Harry grabs the edge of blocks and bookcases and hauls himself up with a grunt is a dead ringer for the anatomically impossible heroine.
What's a bit silly is that the game includes the ability to enable an 'autojump' function. Yes, that's just what it sounds like - we heartily recommend people leave it off since it not only takes away any difficulty from the platform sections, but also reduces the fun quota to near zero. The game has its fair share of puzzles, although they're not overly taxing, being aimed at an age group with a large span of years. They're made with style, however, as is much of the game itself.
Graphically, it's a feast for the eyes, with convincing representations of the film's heroes, heroines, villains and bit-parts all reproduced. Hogwarts itself looks wonderful, just the sort of place to make kids and adults alike wish that they'd been the ones who'd been picked for wizard school. Likewise, the voices are excellently done. Mimicking the film's cast to perfection, the game is truly immersive - sadly this just heightens the disappointment when you reach the game's ending so quickly.
For a film conversion, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone manages, thankfully, to live up to the hype. It's an excellent title for kids of all ages yes, even the grown up ones , with a fantastic mixture of gaming genres contained within. Alas, a slightly ropy control system, and disappointing length let us down on what is otherwise a truly enjoyable experience.

EA really did strike gold when they snapped up the rights to this franchise before the movies come out. As a result of this though, this first game was more based on the books than it was the movie. Also, this is the PC version I am talking about today that was released in There are many different versions of this game released, including a remake of this title a few years later.
The story follows the events of the first book very closely. You are Harry who has discovered he is a Wizard and off to Hogwarts, he goes to learn how to use his powers. The game does a great job of including all the big set pieces from the book and has all the characters represented pretty well here too. If you liked the book then you will not have any complaints about the story here. Even if you have just seen the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie, you will find the story very familiar.
If you take a look at the graphics of the game now, they are very early 3D graphics, this game was released in after all. However, there is also a PlayStation version of this game and the PC one absolutely destroys it in terms of visuals. View this page in.
