Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (GBA)

Product Information

As you progress through the game (and the story), you learn new spells and find hidden items like Bertie Botts beans and wizard cards. The player's health is represented by the lightning bolts in the top left of the screen, and one is taken away for each time the player comes into contact with an enemy. While it shares some similarities with the Game Boy Colour version, like the musical themes, sound effects and spell names, it's a very different experience. Storywise, whole chapters of the books like the Norbert Quest that were completely ignored in the films was made into one of the coolest quests in the whole game! You explore the school and its grounds, gather items for potions, cast spells and battle a dazzling spectrum of adversaries in turn-based wizard challenges.

He says that the mirror will be moved to a new home the next day, but warns that Harry may soon see it again. Before engaging in a battle with Harry, Quirrell reveals Voldemort's face manifested upon the back of his skull.

Too wrong I was: you begin the came by attending your first defence against the dark arts lesson and then once your spell is learnt you do a tricky challenge. In the unlikely event that you're thinking that I've reviewed this game before, you'd be partially correct, as I've taken a look at the Game Boy Colour and Playstation versions of the game.
