Maybe it should rank higher…ĭeathly Hallows – Part 2 is not a great game, and I would not question anyone who thinks it should be much lower on this list. This game lets you blow up a giant as Dame Maggie Smith. Book of Potions (2012, 2013, PlayStation 3) I somewhat admire developer EA UK’s risk, but it yielded so very, very little reward. Players are expected to retrace their steps over and over thanks to the concept of collecting enough ‘Triwizard Shields’ to unlock the next level, robbing the story of its pacing all while adapting a Potter story that is beloved for its fast pacing. But, even when I accepted the change, the format is still done incredibly poorly. The switch to a distanced camera removes the series’ usual feeling of exploration I can still recall 9-year-old me waiting for the game to return to the ‘normal’ third-person look I was used to from the previous three games.

It doesn’t sound entirely out-of-place for Potter on paper, but in execution, it makes one of the most exciting entries in the book and film series into a woefully dull affair. After three games of exciting, wondrous Hogwarts exploration (more on those later), Goblet of Fire is so painfully worse in every regard by transitioning the series to a completely different genre that it would never touch again – the dungeon crawler. This game holds the distinction of being one of the biggest gaming disappointments of my youth. It is the lowest point in the entire series, the gaming equivalent of Voldemort’s awkward hug. Topping this disaster off, the game is so broken that ignoring every enemy and just running through the map will complete many of the levels.
Vacuous missions and empty objectives repeat over and over during the camping segments, featuring some of the worst cover-based ‘shooting’ in gaming history.
Whether due to a flawed concept, rushed development, or both, Deathly Hallows – Part 1 has no redeeming features. The result? Not only the worst Potter game, or one of the worst third-person shooter games, but one of the worst games I have ever played, period. But because Part 1 is mostly set in quiet camping environments, developer EA Bright Light had to get… creative. It kind of makes sense, seeing as the last book (and movie) ends with some explosive action. Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is an atrocious game, marking the moment where publisher EA decided the only logical place to take the Potter series was into cover-based shooter territory.

Harry and Hermione battle Death Eaters as you battle with your sanity.Īnyone who has seen the movie that this game is based on will know that there is very little material that can be adapted for gameplay, and blimey does it show here. So, with all that said and done, let’s get into ranking every Harry Potter game, starting with the biggest pile of troll bogeys in the series… Most of all, though, the Game Boy Advance games of the early entries are fantastic isometric adventures, and I highly recommend them to those who like retro gaming!

The PC and PS2 versions of Philosopher’s Stone are just as fun as the PS1 version that I played, as the PS1 and Xbox versions of Chamber of Secrets differ from the PS2 version I will be covering here. It is also important to highlight that the alternative versions of these games on other platforms are also great in their own right. These games were a formative part of many people’s gaming journey, and I truly do see merit in all of them (well, maybe not number 14, but more on that soon). Since then, we have had three mobile games of questionable quality, and that seemed like all the Wizarding World would get until the trailer dropped for Hogwarts Legacy during the truly great PlayStation 5 showcase.Ī few things to note before we start the rankings this is my opinion and is entirely subjective. This list will cover the 13 mainline console entries, from Philosopher’s Stone on the PlayStation up to 2013’s Book of Potions for the PlayStation 3. A total of 17 games have been released in the Harry Potter franchise for more platforms than you can fill a Room of Requirement with.
