Oh joy, another piece of Potter merchandise. Electronic Arts' Potter games have exceeded expectations, though that wasn't hard given the propensity of movie tie-ins to deliver soulless, poorly executed games like Transformers. This one requires you to traipse around an impressively accurate Hogwarts and reach certain objectives. Fights and cut-scenes drive the story forward, and collectable items unlock power-ups. Fans will persevere with the awkward controls, but the hand-waving that makes the Wii title so much fun has inevitably disapparated.
