This review contains spoilers

This is the best Harry Potter game by the time of this review. The story is the same as the movie, but with a few changes to expand it and make it feel like a game, the changes are welcoming and make the story more enjoyable, to the point where people can ignore the plot hole where the Hogwarts express couldn't have let with Ginny but not Harry and Ron. The Characters slightly different from the movie due to new actors and to fit the character designs. The graphics work great for the game, they don't look realistic, but the cartoon look that reminds me of the style of the books fits well as a PlayStation 2 game and the world of the Harry Potter universe is well imaginative here where all locations look fun and interesting to explore and can get lost in with that appealing art style, and places locked off make you just want to check them out even though there's nothing there. The music is beautiful, fits every scene and makes the whimsical wonder even more fleshed out. The Sounds childlike wonder makes kids want to play along as well and wish this world to be the real one. Controls for moving around are loose, but make moving around more energetic and fun, spell buttons are fun to use, but can annoy having to go to menus to change spells so often. The Gameplay is having you casting spells at targets, do spell challenges during class which are just for the gameplay not story, tasks to do at night and sneak past prefects with a fun sneak system with music that can get you scarred to get caught if you don't want to. Bosses are easy to understand how to beat without the game telling you a great way to teach kids how to notice stuff for themselves and the extra tasks you can do are fun, throwing gnomes, flying practice, collecting cards, trading them at Fred and George's shop, finding lost items for points and your performance in classes can affect whether you win the house or quidditch cups and would have to find items to get more points for the former. This is a game beautifully fun and mysterious adventure that needs to be seen to show what people could miss out on, everyone should get it.
