always hear the first few games are pretty good but differ depending on console. There's a pic that show all versions one all consoles and which are the same and which are best to play.

if i remember correctly, the console versions were mostly the same (ps2 had it's usual ps2 issues), the pc version was slightly different and both gba and gbc were different.
this is how it was for the first 4 games i think.

if anyone finds that pic showing all the different versions of the potter games please post!

This is why I love 4chan. Never played this as a kid, but huge huge huge Harry Potter fan. And apparently this game is good? AND there's multiple games based on console?

Oh lawd, downloading the PC version right now.

Oh shit, I was just thinking about Harry Potter.
These games were probably my favorite thing along with the PS1 era Tony Hawks, every time I see screens of it or hear music from the earlier movies I get so nostalgic.
But there's nowhere good to discuss it ever, especially when you aren't a woman or a teenage girl.

>> No.2291001

Related: I once had a weird instance on HP&CoS for PC. I can't find anything about it online but for some reason I spawned on a big platform, with Harry Potter's hometown below and a starry sky above. Can't walk off because invisible walls and there is nothing to do. Don't know how it happened, don't know what it's for (maybe testing?), either way it's an oddity from my childhood.

I remember playing this at my neighbor's PC. She didn't have one of her own, it was some old shit machine, I still remember it had an AMD K6 with 166 MHz, way worse than my very first computer.

N64 and PSONE graphics I can handle because they were products of their time. What I can't handle are all the people who refuse to go back and play them because either the graphics make their eyes bleed or the textures look like they have the consistency of vasline on drywall. Really, if you can't deal with so called "shit graphics" then should probably find another hobby

That being said, I do have a legit problem with old pc games where the color pallete is made up of nothing but magenta and cyan

As a college student, I can honestly say most kids between 16 and 20 never shut up about it.

It's Sunday now but I'm putting the first 3 on my PC right now, hope you had (and are still having) fun brah, I'm playing with you.

Also if you haven't played the two GBC games they're fun.

Luckily I think the first 3 books where the best (Goblet of Fire starting becoming too teen/adult and less childhood fun) and all the versions of the first 3 games were the best.

Most people I know (and all women I've met) nowadays consider themselves die hard Potter fans, but have only seen the movies. Blows my mind. I grew up with the books and fucking love them, on the same level as I love most Tom Clancy books. I liked the movies, too, they were pretty damn good adaptations (the first 3 are comfy as fuck GOAT), but most "die-hards" are really just try-hards, holy fuck. How can these people consider themselves fans when they haven't even read the fucking books?
