Best game adaptation

Also add why it was your favourite and what platform(s) you played it on.

Personally I like the Prisoner of Azkaban the most - on X-box - although the game I devoted the most time and effort to was Chamber of Secrets on X-box and Gamecube. That was the first game where I wanted to get 100% completion (I never did) and also tried to have a perfect run (never completed that either).

I liked Prisoner of Azkaban as it was the first platformer I played that had AI co-op. Which was good given that I had no siblings, lived far away from friends, and my mum cannot play video games and my dad can't cope with 3D space. So it was good to work with people, even if they weren't real.

philosopher's stone was re-made?

Yes. I think it came out about a year after Chamber of Secrets

I've only played Philosopher's Stone on PS1 (though that was ages ago) and the GBA version of Prisoner of Azkaban. Plus I've played bits of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets on an emulator... hehe

If you didn't play the early harry potters on PC, you missed out.

I realised that I never finished Philosophers Stone either. Although it was on GBA, so it was quite...awful.
I have an ever growing pile of shame. Good thing the holidays are near.
I wonder what game I should finish first. Maybe I should start a poll.

I love downloading really bad games onto emulators so that I can laugh at them for 5 mins and then delete them... for free...

It must be fun, having time to play these games...

The number of times I've done that just for the sake of it!
(Great to know I'm not the only one!)

I've only ever owned one Harry Potter game - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the Gameboy Advance. I can't say it was the best of games, but not bad for its time, I guess.

I think that the only Harry Potter game I have ever played was a special feature on the DVD of The Prisoner of Azkaban. It was pretty lame.

Hell yes Harry Potter LEGO years 1-4 for DS
It's the best
5-7 isn't that good - the gameplay has changed.

Ssince my family and I are pretty cheap, we just decided to pick up a random bunch of "definitely-not-pirated" GBA games from one of our trips to China for a fraction of the price. Out of the $10/15 game bundle, one of those games was for CoS (in Chinese) and another was for GoF (in English).

I'll second that. I'm assuming that my totally-not-pirated game was the same one and not some odd unlicensed spin-off. Playing it in Chinese was an interesting experience to say the least, since I still couldn't read well enough to decipher the dialogue and instructions. I'd say that the fact that I managed to get through the entire game without much hassle speaks for how easy it was to comprehend, though I definitely couldn't guess what some of the sprites were without other text. Understandable, with the tools available at the time of making...

The Goblet of Fire was in English, and that was alright. Better monsters to fight, better fighting system in general, better graphics, but not as good of a collectible system. There was also a weird rhythm mini-game for the Yule Ball that I wouldn't have remembered if it weren't repeated in the graveyard duel with Voldemort, for some odd reason. I'd rank it a little above the CoS game.

They had those for a few other DVDs too, I think. Lame it was. Being as obsessed as I was back when they came out, I loved every single moment of them |D

In summary: GoF GBA > CoS GBA
