Confession: I HATE Harry Potter on Gamecube
1In this video, I'm sharing with you my confession: I HATE Harry Potter on Gamecube! I know, I know...a lot of people love the series, but I just don't get it. I'm not alone in this sentiment, by the way... tons of people hate Harry Potter on Gamecube.
So what's the appeal? I guess some people just love the hype, but for me, it just wasn't that great. I guess if you're a big fan of the series, then you might enjoy it, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Thanks for watching!
In the novel video games, gameplay is featured around puzzle solving with some action-oriented scenes. Releases in the series generally followed the plot of the associated novel. The protagonist learns spells or other techniques from classes within Hogwarts school, which are often used to solve the puzzles at hand. While some are similar to those used in other Harry Potter media (such as "Wingardium Leviosa", used for levitating objects), other spells are unique to the video games (such as "Flipendo", described as the "knockback jinx", an attacking spell, used to push objects, or "Spongefy", to make an object turn into a bounce pad).
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. However, in later games (specifically the final two entries), entries employ first person shooter and stealth sections.
