Yes. There were sooo many bad movie tie in games. Animated movies especially...

Incredible how Flandrew goes from almost apologizing to Ron for all the abuse he put him through all series, to literally spell-kick him while he's down.

One thing nobody seems to bring up about this game when reviewing it are the multiple spell options you could pick from...I mean, they were largely interchangeable so it's not too surprising people just focused on blasting Stupefy, but 'Confringo' in particular was stupidly overpowered (it was basically sending a bomb at your enemy) and had a very short cooldown, so you could just spam that and blast through levels in seconds. The one time I played this game, I remember mowing through more than a hundred respawning Death Eaters in the final level before finally realising "...oh, wait, is this a level I'm supposed to lose?" and letting them capture me so the story could progress.

Anyone else REALLY love the graphics/aesthetics of the Deathly Hallows DS version at all? Because I sure do! There's a certain colorful charm to it all as it's more in line with the PS1 game's graphics. The graphics obviously can't be realistic so they have to stylize the characters and that's honestly the BEST way for the art direction of limited graphics to go as to make the characters and the world's settings to look charming and distinct.

Thanks for doing gods work and taking the proverbial weight off of my chest as well edit: It's weird to think that gaming companies would utilize multiple different developing teams for different products for one film, to reach a broader audience.

I'm a trophy hunter so when I played the PS3 version, naturally I played on hard to try and get all the difficulty trophies in one playthrough, as is done in most games. For whatever reason this game doesn't unlock all easy or normal trophies when you complete the game on hard. IT FORCED ME TO PLAY IT THREE TIMES. I wouldn't have minded if it was Deathly Hallows Part 2, since I actually liked that game. But part one had the stiffest shooting controls out of any shooter I'd ever played. Also a glitch occurred early on which made my controller vibrate non-stop until I stopped playing, for what ever reason I finished it like that.

The movie Ratatouille had tie in games on every single platform imaginable, and there was like 8 different versions of it on everything.

I never played the game but could've sworn one of the spells Harry could use was supposed crucio, one of the in-universe forbidden spells, and that it was basically a submachine gun. After looking it up, apparently it was in one of the previews and fans took issue so the it was changed for the final release. Good on them.

I've been binging your videos for the past couple of days and I love them. They are funny, informative and just a pleasure to watch & listen. glad I found your channel!

Hey just found this channel in my recs and I've just been watching video after video. This is good stuff man, excited to see more.

I get so amped everytime I see a notification for the next one of these videos! It's a shame that I feel like there is so much more fun to be had in most of the earlier games, particularly 1-3 and their various version than there are in the rest, but it is what it is. I do think it would have been awesome though if 4-7 could have had games that followed in the footsteps of the first 2 or 3 PS2 games though, that would have been incredible. One side note, you did call this Deathly Hallows Part 2 at the beginning of the video 😂 Everyone makes mistakes, I almost didn't say anything, but just wanted to let you know. Can't wait until we really to get to the Part 2 video 😁 Edit: I see you fixed the intro, nice touch 👍

Thank you for your great work as always! Dedicating quite a bit of your time to play these games for our viewership is a always appreciated, especially on how you carefully explain the differences between these games. Just one more game and I'm looking forward to that as well. Keep up the good work 👏

I've honestly never been a fan of any of the games post-Prisoner of Azkaban. I think it would've been better if the 4-7 games had kept the gameplay of the first three games but just built on the gameplay. And I'd have been curious to see how 7 would've implemented spell challenges had they gone in that direction.

I've never played any of the games you've reviewed, but grew up during that time. Your videos and comments are great, I think most people would enjoy this more than playing the actual game :D

Great video as always can't wait what you will do next . Star wars episode 3 lol . But seriously you did a good job creating your video and I appreciate your time editing all this together. Cheers from Las Vegas Nevada!

I love this series so much. Harry Potter and its games really were a "Friend" in my Childhood. And this comparison of different versions is so interesting. Keep up the good work

Great video as always, you compare the versions with each other, with the movies and even with the books at times, very informative even for people that might not even have a clue. I played most of these games and your descriptions and comparisons are spot on. I hope to see more of these movie-game comparisons with other movie series, especially the game versions that flopped, like Pirates of the Caribbean for example. Spider-Man would be good as well.

Nice way to enjoy my sunday. I'd love to see you talk about more videogames that you have a connection with since childhood.

More of this harry potter content even if its the same videos rehashed absolutely love these videos of yours, keep them up.

I loved playing the first two both on playstation and on Gameboy, but it's such a shame to see how simplified this series got. Going from magical atmosphere and a literally rpg to just run of the mill cover shooter breaks my heart.

Really, really enjoying your content

Yes, another awesome video!!!

Babe wake up, Flandrew just dropped another comparison video.

I grew up with the first games on PS1, but it would take a loooong time before I got my hands on an Xbox 360, around by the time the Xbox One was coming out. So I didn't know much of what modern games were supposed to be like, and when I got my hands on this game I just... couldn't play it for more than 15 minutes. But I kept playing because I thought "I guess this is what games are now." Also hearing that nice HP1 for the GBA music at 8:30 really made me smile. Another great vid, Drew!

Had no clue there was a DS version. Looks pretty cool tho

I'd never owned any of the HP games growing up as the books and films came out. (Except Quidditch World Cup on the GBA. Probably why I didn't bother.) However, I've really been enjoying this series - so much so that I decided to finally scratch a 25-year old itch and buy Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets on GBC. Might have to add this one to my DS collection; I bet it's dirt cheap. Thanks for all your insight and analysis so far - looking forward to the finale!

Despite how boring and repetitive Deathly Hallows is as a game, I can’t help but find the Goblet of Fire to be worse. At least you knew DH wouldn’t be like the other games due to Hogwarts only being a factor during the last portion of the story. With GoF however, we had three wonderful adventure games that could of easily been repeated… however EA decided to make it different and overall worse game. There was no expectation with DH to be like the others, but GoF had no reason not to be like the previous games.

I haven't played Goblet of Fire game in a LONG time but even still I feel like the game is nowhere as "bad" as you people make it out to be as it was still a fun, but different, co-op gameplay experience to play along side the trio with. It''s not phenomenal or anything but I still feel like Goblet of Fire can still be a joy to play and not as "worse" as you people make it out to be. Edit: And the Deathly Hallows game isn't THAT "boring and repetitive" I'd say. It was fun overall and not at all "boring" but yeah it can kinda be repetitive when your just doing the same thing essentially throughout the whole experience with not much of a mix-up.

So if i expected DH to be a survival rpg with crafting then it would be worse than GOF because it didnt hold up to my expectations? Nah, this game is absolutely dreadful. This game has the charm of a rotting corpse, all characters are literal robots without facial animations, it's incredibly repetitive, there is 0 coherence in story, like 2 dialogues in the whole game. GoF has most of that but at least characters in it are somewhat charming. Both are button mashers so no use in putting one above the other in terms of gameplay.

The movie was like a road movie for the most part. They should've made this something like an open world traveling or survival game.

In the Intro, you say part 2 instead of part 1. But as always, great video with a nice touch of humour 👌

I attempted this on my Wii and man was this a struggle. Since it had a graphical downgrade, it was hard to see half the time where I'm going. And too much third person shootouts and first person sneaking missions. To give the Wii version some credit, at least the motion controls were decent in this one. Well, comparing them to the previous titles. I must say that this channel is both nostalgic and educational at the same time. Which makes this some entertaining content, mixed in with humor.

I think it's interesting to look at the different priorities of each version of the game when you compare them like this. The flagship version was obviously more interested in showing off nice graphics and flashy gameplay, while the DS version was focusing more on the story due to hardware limitations. There's a good game somewhere there if you combine the two.

I think that, since this video was so short, you could've presented both parts. I am looking forward to the last video in this series

Didn't the Xbox 360 version have Kinect support?
