A port of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The Game Boy Advance version is a top-down puzzle game. The player explores Hogwarts, and must attend classes which often include a challenge of collecting a certain number of items, such as challenge stars or potion ingredients. This game features the familiar monsters from the other games in the series, such as snails and gnomes. By performing admirably in learning spells and completing missions, Harry can gain extra House Points so that Gryffindor might win the House Cup. If he misbehaves by attacking other students or being caught wandering the halls at night, points will however be deducted.

It's a silly little GBA game that lets you play through some of the events of the film version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. You do get to cast a few spells, but it's not a robust mechanic by any means. Very typical sort of action-adventure game with maze-like corridors to navigate and enemies to blast ("Flipendo!"). It's harmless, a little boring, and didn't leave much of an impression.
(This is from my third time playing this game)
While some of the puzzles are fun enough and the game looks alright for the most part, the game just felt like it got worse with each subsequent playthrough.
Trying to hit enemies is a pain, navigating certain areas is a chore, and the flying sections just blow. Oh, and how they adapt the story isnt all that great either.
I'm glad I never have to play this again.
