Not as good as I thought it would be. I think I still like the PlayStation version better... Outside Hogwarts looks really empty, the story is not complete and it's a little bit short. It is still entertaining somehow, just not as good as the 2001 version in my opinion. Plus, the ending is totally anticlimactic.
I know that it's primarily directed towards children, but this is laughable at times.
The level design is annoying. Dialogue and cutscenes are unbearably slow, and unskippable. The controls are slow and clunky, and sometimes even unresponsive, with the gameplay almost constantly working against you. You spend most of the game picking up hundreds of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, and Harry tells you the flavor of each bean he picks up, and it gets annoying after three. There are big gaps in the story that wouldn't make sense to anyone if they haven't read the book or watched the movie that honestly didn't bother me because I just wanted it to end.
I played this game all the time as a kid (ALL THE TIME), and I can still see why, but this is not good. Fuck this game.

Been playing old HP games as I'm currently in a nostalgia trip.
This revisit of the Philosopher's Stone game after the release of the Chamber of Secrets for PS2 feels very improved after it's equivalent for PS1, however, the gameplay is quite short in comparison. They left out many main and side quests for this one.
No need to get overly critical, still is a children's game.
