Some spells also take two button presses to perform and won't work if you don't time them properly, so you're forced to try again or end up casting the wrong spell. This sounds easy, but it's difficult to target specific objects because the game often refuses to let you, even if you're looking right at the object. You cast spells by pressing the right shoulder button to take out your wand and then pressing specific face buttons to cast. The game starts off with a tutorial where you'll learn basic spells like wingardium leviosa (levitation), reparo (repair an object), accio (pull an object toward you), and depulso (push an object away) by helping people fix broken dishes, pack their suitcases, and move furniture-not exactly riveting stuff. You'll also encounter nearly every recognizable character from the Harry Potter universe along your journey. Ron and Hermione will be by your side the whole time offering hints on where to go or what to do next.

You'll spend nearly the entire game controlling Harry.

It's easy to understand how a three-hour movie might have to leave bits and pieces out, but it's puzzling that an eight-hour game can't tell even the most basic aspect of the story.

This all makes perfect sense if you've read the book, but the story's exceedingly difficult to follow if you haven't read it because vast segments of the story are told via brief full-motion video cutscenes and newspaper clippings.

With the help of Ron and Hermione, Harry rallies the students together to form Dumbledore's Army in an effort to ready them for a fight against the dark lord. To make matters worse, Voldemort is threatening to rear his ugly mug again, and Harry fears that the school will be unable to defend itself. After narrowly avoiding expulsion for using magic in front of a muggle, Harry finds that Hogwarts' new defense against the dark arts teacher seems to have it out for him. Order of the Phoenix follows the story of the book and the movie of the same name. Don't believe her? The game will prove it to you. Ginny's right, cleaning isn't very exciting. Even the most diehard Potter fans will grow tired of seeing the grand staircase as they return from their umpteenth fetch quest. There's a faithful re-creation of the Hogwarts campus to explore, but once you've seen the sights, there's not much else to do. The latest game, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, continues that trend. For some reason, though, the video games that have been released alongside the movies haven't been able to reach the same level of quality that the movies and books have achieved. The movies haven't disappointed either group, and are among the highest-grossing films of all time.

Weasley (mother of HarryвЂ™s best friend, Ron) speaks вЂњsharplyвЂќ Tonks (a clumsy witch with punked-up, parti-color hair) speaks вЂњearnestly.вЂќ As for Harry himself, he speaks quietly, automatically, nervously, slowly, and often - given his current case of raving adolescence - ANGRILY.The Harry Potter series of books has captured the minds of both children and adults alike. HarryвЂ™s godfather, Sirius, speaks вЂњexasperatedlyвЂќ Mrs. Rowling seems to have never met one she didnвЂ™t like, especially when it comes to dialogue attribution. The part of speech that indicates insecurity (вЂњDid you really hear me? Do you really understand me?вЂќ) is the adverb, and Ms. As a writer, however, she is often careless (characters never just put on their clothes they always get вЂњdressed at top speedвЂќ) and oddly, almost sweetly, insecure. RowlingвЂ™s imagination - which should be insured by LloydвЂ™s of London (or perhaps the Incubus Insurance Company) for the 2 or 3 billion dollars it will ultimately be worth over the span of her creative lifetime, which should be long - she is now at the absolute top of her game.
