Harry Potter Video Games

Discussion

I am a die hard Harry Potter fan, I read the books while they were coming out and went to the 2007 midnight release of DH, saw all the movies (they were okay but the first two and the last two were pretty good ), and played all the video games. This fandom has always talked about the books/movies. But as a kid/teen growing up in the 2000s, I always played the video games as a little boy and loved them so much, but all the other boys my age were into Zelda and other video games. So I really wanted to discuss the video games with my fellow Potterheads. What was your favorite video game for Harry Potter (rank them in order)? PC or Game Consule? I'm probably the minority, but other than GoF, I loved all of the Harry Potter games! Some more than others, but they were all great.

8 Goblet of Fire PS2 - You barely could explore Hogwarts and the game play was terrible blah. This was by far the worst game of the series.

7 Half Blood-Prince PS3 - I actually liked this game, potions and dueling were pretty good, but it always came off as a weaker version of Order of the Phoenix to me

6 Philosopher Stone PS1 - Terrible loading screens, but exploring the castle was awesome and it was the nostalgic beginning of the adventure. This is typically everyone's favorite game besides PoA.

5 Deathly Hallows Part 1 PS3 - Okay I understand the hate for this game but I actually loved it. You explored Great Britain and the scenery was beautiful. I actually liked listening to Potterwatch Passwords and the Daily Prophets. The side missions were annoying, but overall I liked the game.

4 Order of the Phoenix PS3 - The castle was beautiful and exploring it was amazing. Hogwarts was gigantic and I imagined Hogwarts like this while I read the books. You could freely use spells and explore around without restrictions. This game legit felt like you were in Hogwarts for real. The game play and storyline was a bit weak, but the castle made up for it.

3 Chamber of Secrets PS2 - GOD AWFUL LOADING SCREENS, but besides the point, the chocolate frog cards, Bertie botts every flavour beans, and roaming around the night were amazing. Quiddtich was the best in this game and I personally think this is the darkest and scariest game out of the series. The prefects were b**** in this game tho.

2 Deathly Hallows Part 2 PS3 - I loved this game dear god, the game play and scenery was beautiful. The spell halo shooter style was great (I'm in the minority with this one) and the battle sequences were awesome. It was sad game overall yet still awesome to play with different characters. I still think we should have played with Luna rather than Seamus tho.

1 PRISONER OF AZAKBAN PS2 - By far the best Harry Potter game in the series, playing as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, finding chocolate frog cards, roaming around Hogwarts, dueling. God I just loved that game so much. The story line was fantastic and it brought back the feels of Harry Potter

If you haven't played the Harry Potter games, I recommend Prisoner of Azkaban for PS2. But regardless, rank the games in order of worst to best and explain? I'm probably going to get criticism for my order lmao.
