How good
do you think you know Harry Potter? Test your memory, magic skill, knowledge
and escape from various traps to survive Hogwarts. Survive the 4th through 6
years at Hogwarts from The
Goblet of Fire, The
Order of the Phenix, and The Half-Blood Prince. Play up to 4 players in the
years of Hogwarts school
of Wizardry and
Witchcraft. You'll not only be tested in magic but chased by the schoolmasters,
dragons and Death Eaters. Hone your wits, speeds and prepare your magic wand in
the 14 different games.
Based on
the 4-6 films of Harry Potter, there are tests, events, and cut scenes from
those years. As you play and navigate each year, you'll be tested in dexterity,
memory, and speed, from navigating the Marauder's Map, escape from a dragon,
practicing against the Dark Arts, avoiding falling Prophecies, making potions,
or solving some puzzle, see if you or your friends can get through the years of
Hogwarts, and for the one who makes it to the end must face the Pensieve...
For those who are Harry Potter fans and don't have game consoles, this a great
game to play either by yourself or with a group of friends on your DVD player
with your remote. All the 14 games are based and use clips from the movies, but
in order to play all of them you must complete each year before going onto the
next game. Selecting from 3 different level settings depending on how
challenging you desire and see who know his Harry Potter. In the games of being
either chased or just trying to escape you press the arrows as they flash on
your screen, others test of your knowledge and skill of Harry Potter. But the
most fun I enjoyed was navigating the Marauder's Map, watching the footprints
appear on a map and making a quick decision to get through without getting
caught, it felt like you were in the movie at that point. Great family fun for
all.
