Now we get to the big ones, three of the most beloved instalments in the Harry Potter game series that all share the same amount of high praise. The top three were tough to choose, and I am flip-flopping between them as I write now. They are truly all as good as each other, so let’s go ahead and examine why. Earlier games in the series contained "secrets" which were a countable list of hidden extras. The games contained "beans", based on "Bertie Botts every flavour beans", used as currency, and Famous Witch or Wizard cards, used as collectables. [41] However, in later games (specifically the final two entries), entries employ first person shooter and stealth sections.

On April 17, 2023, it was announced that a new game, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, was in active development by Unbroken Studios. It is going to be a multiplayer team competitive Quidditch game. A limited playtest was held on April 21–22, [37] though a release date has not been set. According to the FAQ that was released, [38] the game "has been in development for several years by Unbroken Studios". 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. 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. 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.

This game holds the distinction of being one of the biggest gaming disappointments of my youth. 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. 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. Generally, the video game adaptations of the Harry Potter series were designed to be released to coincide with the release schedule of the film series. The first game in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone [c], was developed by five different teams, each creating different versions for different consoles. The games were developed by Argonaut Games [5] ( PlayStation), Aspyr [6] ( Mac OS), Griptonite Games [7] ( Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance), and KnowWonder [8] ( personal computer). Two years later, Warthog Games released versions for sixth generation consoles ( GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox). [9] The version was released after the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and used many of the same assets. [10] The game featured puzzles aimed at "eight- to fourteen-year-olds" and aimed to capture the mood of the novel of the same name. [11] The Kinect experience in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 gives players the ability to get closer to the action than ever before, using physical gestures to cast magic and defeat their deadly opponents. Players essentially cast magic from the palm of their hand, completely controller-free, to enhance and deepen the overall play experience.Hogwarts Legacy". Hogwarts Legacy FAQ.

Instead, Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup was released in its place. Previous games had featured Quidditch but only focused on Potter as the Seeker; Quidditch World Cup puts players in control of the team's Chasers and the rest of the team's players via mini-games. [25] The game featured both matches played at Hogwarts, and matches played internationally.
