Of the five different versions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone video games, this is my favourite. Despite the grinding, odd sprite choices (I’m not sure why everyone is bright pink) and repetitive battles, it’s the most faithful to the source material, and I just find the idea of a turn based Harry Potter RPG so engaging.

On the down side, it’s basically baby’s first RPG. Losing a battle let's you keep any XP, and the lack of difficulty makes it a bit of a slog.
