Let's have a general Harry Potter thread.
Posting the coziest soundtrack known to HP on the gameboy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weNuHF2Pp8I
I still play Chamber of Secrets every now and again. Such a nostalgic and cozy game.
What is /v/'s favourite and why?
>>334814904FLIPENDO
>>334814972
FLLLLLLLIPENDOOOOOOO
I was absolutely mental at this game. Would beat Japan with out even catching the snitch just quaffles. Ah good times
>>334814904
Chamber of Secrets on PC is probably my favorite. Prisoner of Azkaban is also good but it's way too short.
Philosopher's Stone hasn't aged well, the only fun I could get with Goblet of Fire was looking at Hermione's sweater puppies, Order of Phoenix was actually not that bad but console controls sucked, haven't played the Gears of Potter ones and don't intend to.
OP here, also posting the WORST Harry Potter game, though I'm aware that they were told to scrap everything (art, writing) and had very little time to make it good again.
>that fucking fight with Lupin where you deal little to no damage and have to wait for Hippogriff's turn
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>334815428
I've personally found any Quidditch practice or tournament match to be tedious rather than fun, so it baffles me why anybody would buy a game dedicated to it.
>playing that unskippable first Quidditch match in Sorcerer's Stone for PC when you're like 10 years old and it's one of your first PC games ever
>>334814904
That level where your in the bank and have to fight a boss to reach your safe, I could never fucking beat that
>>334816287
not PC version i guess
>>334816536
>>334816287
Yeah, I thought anon was referring to the GBA version aswell. That part was very easy.
The only boss fight in the GBA version that was somewhat difficult was the end boss. I kept on getting poisoned until I learned the snake's patterns.
>tfw your poisoned status sometimes remained after you've died and you were forced to battle with a full health that was slowly but surely depleting
>>334816536
Game boy
>>334816791
Thinking back I don't think I ever passed it
>>334815661
There's a Harry Potter RPG? I had no idea this existed.
How are the later games if I'm a huge Harry Potter-fag? As long as the core gameplay is decent, I could probably look past any minor issues.
>>334816941
That''s PoA on the GBA.
The GBC games were RPGs too and they were really good, you should emulate those.
>>334817051
Goblet of Fire is a mediocre isometric shooter. Order of Phoenix is a maybe. Everything else is literally Gears of War.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzPTgERoEp0
>>334816941
You better believe it, anon. It's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the GBA.
It had a lot of potential, but is an extreme let down.
>>334816906
If your cartdridge still works, I would recommend playing it again (or emulating it, but I've got no experience emulating Harry Potter games so I don't know if it's the same). I'm sure it was just one of those silly moments in our childhood that we struggled so much on one part of a game, but then found it to be incredibly easy to beat once you're older.
>>334817051
Have not played them, but the kinect ones don't look so great to me. Most people tend to fuck around with the controllable animations.
>>334817264
My gameboy and games are loooong gone anon, do gbas even still exist?

My GBA got fucked because I threw it in a sandpit when I was younger and I never managed to get all the sand out, but my GBA SP still works fineapart from the suddenly-overly sensitive on/off slider that makes me accidentally turn off my vidya from time to time.
Cartridges with an internal clock (Pokemon for example) have all died on me sadly.

>Game becomes literally unwinnable because it disappears and you can never progress
Other than that it was pretty good. The minigames were decent as well.
>>334818248
Well, it's all subjective. I prefer the SP because I loved how it could fit into your pocket easily, and be a square-shaped model when folded but not clunky. I just think they look better.
Also, the light switch helps when you're outside.I miss playing vidya outside, but I'm too old ;_;
>>334815428
This game needs a HD version, the intro is very good as well
>>334819015
Yeah that light switch was like fucking magic as a kid, couldn't see shit when outside
>>334815661
I got this game back in the day around a time where my parents decided to renovate the house, so we had to go live somewhere else temporarily.
I played the shit out of it because it was all I had. My GameCube was at home and I didn't get to bring it. It was okay.
Obligatory
Choose wisely.
Chamber of Secrets on PC was my fucking jam back in the day
>Comfy castle music
>Constantly talking to silver card traders over and over again until they give you a good price

>Jumping on Mrs Norris
>Throwing those gnomes around in the spell challenges

>Accidentally falling from like 4 stories in the moving stair room and breaking every bone in your body
>Finding secrets around the castle and the grounds
>Using the spring spell om the mat in the main entrance to jump on top of random passing students
Great game
>>334820458
Ravenclaw is the least asian- and mixed-looking from them all. The purest.
>>334820458
Correct answer:
>Slytherin
>Ravenclaw
>Hufflepuff
>Gryffindor
So what house would you be in anons? Be honest
>Ravenclaw
Anyone excited for the new movies?
>>334816282
>Sorcerer's Stone
Why did they do this? I don't get it to this day. Did they think 'Philosopher' was too long a word for Americans or something?
>>334821037
New movies?
>>334821050
I don't know, but "Sorcerer's Stone" has a better ring to it.
>>334820527
best game
>>334821037
The beast one? Yeah could be sweet for that 1920s America alone
Any more Potter kids ones? Fuck no
>>334821037
Oh, ignore >>334821150. You're talking about that spin-off thing.
>>334821050
It's to make it more obviously about wizards so it didn't offend christian sensibilities when they accidentally bought it and found it filled with devil magic.
>>334820954
Hufflepuff, unfortunately.
>>334820458
From that?
>Huffllepuff
>Slytherin
>Ravenclaw
>Gryffindor
That's prolly the order of which I'd be most likely to be sorted into too. Strange.
Why can't they just make a Hogwarts game where you don't play as one of the faggots from the books?
Everyone loved Hogwarts but hated the faggy characters. That's why we all loved the first four books but hated the last three as they focused far less on Hogwarts and far more on the faggots.
Just give us a Hogwarts game with no relation to the books fuck.
>>334821037
It will suck ass greatly, I am sure.
>>334820954
Thinking about it, probably Slytherin.
I'm lazy, but very ambitious - i'll probably find some people to use there to support me
I played the GBC and PC versions
Pc version was actually pretty awesome, GBC one was fun to loop round and round but I always felt like I was just missing some secret upgrades since Ron's wand could always backfire and I never really got how damage worked in the last battle, sometimes that snake just felt like one-shotting me
>>334820954
Probably Hufflepuff. If not there then Slyherin but Hufflepuff is way more likely. Don't fit anywhere else though
>>334821449
This.
Though I'd set it AFTER the books, as Voldemort is long dead.
I'd hate for him to be the fucking central villain again.
I wouldn't mind some sort of open-world Metroidvania-exploration style Hofwarts centered around some Persona 4-like gameplay (class/dungeon).
>>334820458
What do you think
>>334821449
>there will never be a hogwarts MMO
>>334821229
Even if it flows better, which admittedly it does, the object is known as the Philosopher's Stone. It's not something Rowling made up, it's an actual thing.
>>334821449
you'd definitely have to make the whole castle explorable
they should take liberties too as long as it fits, like some of the areas in the earlier games
>>334820954
In 4th grade our teacher was so into Harry Potter she sorted us into houses and every week we'd get points based on our merits in class (homework done, class participation, etc.). I was in Ravenclaw. Interestingly enough it was the Slytherin house that had the most points by the end of the quad and those bastards got a pizza party.
>>334821449
>a game where you can create your own character that attends Hogwarts
>game has a friendship system, if you make friends with students you can get items, jelly beans, etc; and with teachers you can be given a free pass to skip a class, hints for a puzzle, and so on
>there are shenanigans, just like in the books, where your character finds secret rooms and lore by breaking the rules
>game ends once you graduate, regardless of %progress in the campaign
>>334821449
>Hogwarts RPG
>Game has essentially 4 ways to play depending on house (each house has their own quests, NPCs etc)
>Going to class levels up certain stats (think Bully but more in depth)
>Overall goal of the game is to get the most house points over the course of 1 in game year
>Doing quests helps out the house, yourself,or both in gaining more points
Make it happen EA
>>334820954
Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, probably.
I aced university and got an amazing job effortlessly, which would suggest Ravenclaw. But now that I have a secure, well-paying job I'm far too lazy and unmotivated to actually climb the corporate ladder and try to get promotions.
So I feel like I'm too smart for Hufflepuff, but too lazy for Ravenclaw.
But I'm not brave nor ambitious, so I'd not get put in Slytherin nor Gryffindor.
I guess I'd probably end up in Hufflepuff realistically.
>>334814904
Favorite is still Philosophers Stone for PC. The length of that game combined with all of the different things to do was awesome. Plus it had that separate quiddich mode, which was pretty bitchin.
>>334821903
Anon, you've got me so excited for a game that doesn't exist. Fuck you.
>>334821229
Maybe it's because I only became aware of the title later but Sorcerer's Stone has always sounded wrong to me. It's a dumb and incorrect title to make it sound more traditionally magic-y or something.
>>334821324
Makes sense. Man, that takes me back. Been a while since any major children's franchise got accused of promoting Satanism.
>>334821263
Why not nigga
>>334822152
Because the characters will always be just a mixture of their parents, which is lazy writing.
I mean look at Naruto - Yes it has some decent new characters but they are completely overshadowed by their parents.
I'd much rather have magical Steve Irwin, which were hopefully getting, or more lore about the World
I wanna see Japanese Youkai, Norse folklore and Non European Magics etc
>>334814904
Hey OP do you like the PC version?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbITeq55N68
There's more arranges but that's what came up first. One of the gc fight themes is reorchestrated as part of PC's last level too but I can't seem to find it just by using file names
PC CoS was good enough that I 100%'d it though so play it if you want
>>334822152
Not him but I figure that era's done. If there's a new story I'd rather it be either far enough away or in the future for Harry's shit not to matter too much.
>>334822463
Sounds like a mixture betweenmagicandroyalty. I like it.
I've watched a friend play it but have yet to play it myself. It's in my backlog.
Do you guys like magic?
>>334821859
Rekt
>>334822132
Looked it up and I'm wrong:
Scholastic Corporation bought the U.S. rights at the Bologna Book Fair in April 1997 for US$105,000, an unusually high sum for a children's book.[16] They thought that a child would not want to read a book with the word "philosopher" in the title and,[34] after some discussion, the American edition was published in September 1998[35] under the title Rowling suggested, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[16]
>>334820954
Not sure. I don't think they ever explained the differences in houses in the movies.
NINTENDO
why is the world in the PS2/Xbox version of Philosopher's Stone so much better looking than the PC version?
>>334822927
Good work America.
>>334821903
>>334821872
And I was so disappointed that that mystery magical school game on DS just DIDN'T scratch that itch ;_;
>>334821740
Even in the movie they call it sorcerers stone.
>>334823010
Ravenclaw is smart and works hard
Slytherin are motive driven and not afraid to dick people over
Gryffindor are brave and out to prove themselves
Hufflepuff are the 4th house
>>334822387
>american wizarding
>guns for wands
>>334823026
Might be one of the cases of the PC version being a different game.
Do keep in mind, PC versions of movie tie-ins were generally made to work on daddy's shitheap PC from half a decade ago. That's why you got weirdly gimped games at times.
>>334823116
They don't. Not in the film or the book.
>>334823258
Sounds fucking cool.
goddamn i found my old chamber of secrets cartidge
gameboys completely dead, im tryng to find my old SP
>>334823010
Ravenclaw is studious, so for nerds.
Slytherin is about ambition and cunning, ends up being the house for assholes.
Gryffindor is about bravery and nobility despite only 2 or 3 Gryffindors actually fitting that.
Hufflepuff is for the fair and hardworking, which ends up meaning anyone not in the other 3 houses.
The houses were so underutilised in the story.
>>334820954
Ravenclaw or Slytherin
I'm only smart in certain areas though, anything outside my comfort zone and I draw blanks.
And i'm ambitious, but not enough to fully satisfy Syltherin levels of ambition.
If the sorting hat takes personal opinion into account, than definitely Ravenclaw.

>>334823267
>Might be one of the cases of the PC version being a different game.
They're completely different games. The console version focuses on visuals while the PC version focuses on gameplay. Compare the Hogwarts entrance hall of between the two versions.
>They don't. Not in the film or the book.
There are separate scenes for both, I believe.
I used to know the voice actor for Harry in the PS2 version of Philosopher's Stone. He used to get pissed off whenever someone mentioned it.
>>334824187
Not stickers, its a limited edition
Turns out everyone is level 99
>>334815428
This game was so much worse than anybody seems to be giving it credit for. Even on the highest difficulty, against any AI opponent, the game was literally
>Get the quaffle on or before the midline, pass it around a bit and score. Maybe use the bludgers to make it less tedious.
>Mix it up a little with the incredibly repetitive cutscene special moves that always guaranteed scoring even if scoring was mindnumbingly easy every time.
>Repeat until the meter fills and the snitch shows up. Win with 400 - 0 every game.
>Do that about 25 times for every team each and you've beaten the game.
>>334823512
Wrote a fucking novel in reply to this explaining the sorting and shit but my phones a faggot.
Basically was saying you can choose your house and kids with wizard parents probably told them this and they went into the sorting knowing what house they wanted to be in. I don't really like that aspect of the story because I like the houses to choose the students rather than the student choose the house, but then again apparently everyone has a fucking prophecy and shit so fuck it.
>>334824481
Thanks, anon. Glad others find it just as cozy as I do.
I remember finding the game tucked away in my cupboard, I hadn't played it for about 4 years before that. The nostalgia was too much, I was completely hooked. That was last year and I've played it three times since then.
>tfw you find all the jelly beans
It's a good feel.
>>334817051
Order of the Phoenix on the Wii was actually a bit fun, but nothing too special.
>>334825179
tucked away in your cupboardlike little harry
>>334825042
Oh yeah, forgot about that part.
Yeah, that is pretty bullshit, the house actually choosing would be way better since we wouldn't have ended up with "the racist house" and "the good house" and "the unimportant houses."
>>334815428
ONLINE HD QUIDDITCH GAME WHEN??!
>>334824912
I'm guessing the answer is yes, but since I haven't played it, is it hard to get them to lvl 99? If so, how many replays do you think it took to get to that point?
I tried to max level everyone in Prisoner of Azkaban (GBA) and gave up after level 60. It's difficult when you can one-hit everyone in the game for the first 75% of it, and after that, you've just lost interest.
DUDE
BEANS
LMAO
>>334825424
Well I remember it took me a lot but basically because I was a kid and I absolutely loved this game back in the days
I'm fucking maxed out
>>334825714
You were crazy but I am crazy proud of you.
I replayed it four times in a row but other than farming that one creep in one of the secret behind-painting areas, I never felt the need to one-shot shit
Chamber of Secrets GBA was my very first GBA game. Always fucking hated it, played it the other day, still fucking hate it. Isn't the very first thing you have to do once you get hogwarts is a shitty stealth section followed by isometric platforming challenges
>>334826573
Did you ever complete it, or just give up after the first playable section? Was there anything else you didn't like?
I've seen some people complain about the stealth focus on the game, though it didn't take away the experience of the game for me.
>>334827120
I just never cared to get very far. Playing it now it seems like just another mediocre GBA game, god knows theres plenty of those, and not worth checking out further. I assume the console game is better?

>mfw this game was actually harder than the DS games
>>334824037
I just dug out my old GBC from when I was a kid, and I was surprised to see I had Philosopher's Stone. Philosopher's Stone was a game that I borrowed from an old friend of mine that I don't keep contact with anymore. It appears it became one of those "permanent borrows" that you just never got around to return.
It's a nightmare to take pics on a GBC screen, but I appear to be level 73 and have 21 hours playtime on the main file.
>>334827238
Can't say since I haven't played it. I'm planning on playing the PC version, and if I'm not mistaken, they should be exactly the same (aside from controls and graphics).
Give it a go on an emulator if you don't think it's worth buying.
>>334814904
Holy Shit I forgot this game existed. I don't have it anymore, but I loved it as a kid. I remember it being really hard, but I was like four or five at the time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has managed to keep and play my old handheld consoles.
Handheld consoles are the shit when it comes to comfy gameplay.
>>334827505
I remember struggling to get the beans through the challenges of the Weasley twins when I was a child. But nowadays I can beat it without dying/falling.
>>334818991
THIS FUCKING SHIT. GOD DAMN IT. FUCK MY YOUNG SELF UP.
>>334815661
Damn, this is like the only handheld Harry Potter game I had. I fucking loved it. Whats better is that you guys are saying this one was a let down? Gotta get my hands on the others now, seems im in for some fun.
>>334827725
I think it was a part shortly after making it to the caste that I was always stuck on. I think it was a sneaking section.
So am I the only one that played the GBC games that were turn based final fantasy esque games where you level up spells and use Famous Witch and Wizard card sets for summons? Because that game was my childhood and it was also based as fuck
>>334827765
I absolutely recommed Chamber of Secrets, it is a big step up in terms of script, graphics and overall replayability (I didn't find that the Azkaban game had one unless you were trying to grind the levels like I was), and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.
It does not have the same combat system, however, and collecting cards were to unlock special items and a spell (a great feature, in my opinion). Give it a go, anon!
>>334814904
Oh man, this brings me back.
The first game had the best music but the second game was the best game.
I haven't tried third and fourth was kind of shit.
What are the third, fifth and sixth game like?
>>334828000
Oh never mind I see that I wasnt.
>>334828174

>>334828360
Aren't 1-5 on consoles different to the handheld/PC versions?

If we're going by what >>334827414 has written,
>lvl 73 in 21 hours
surely getting to level 99 would take >40 hours? Now I'm not sure how in-depth or hard the challenges are, but it still doesn't seem like it would rack up to 100+ hours to 100% complete it.
Or did you just keep on replaying it after completing it fully? Didn't it get dull?
>>334830269
To be fair I completed the 3 albums in the game, and that took a lot
Keep in mind that about half collectible items were accessible only in certain moments of the game
Plus, there were no online guides in my language at that time.
Also yes I autistically kept replaying it
>>334830680
Oh, I see. Well, then, props to you for putting in that much time and effort into the game.
>>334824037
Hey, I had that pattern on my SP too.
>>334825714
I only played the first, only got to play that one years after the fact.
It was a crazy nostalgia trip.
I can write a thesis on why HP was a garbage story full of plot-holes.
Least of which are Voldemort's ambitions.
At least with JoJo it's explain why DIO is such a cunt.
Why the fuck was Voldemort evil? Because he was touched as a kid?
Dumbledore was more than ready to be a father figure to him.

Hufflepuff is actually the house for hardworking people. Lazy underachievers need not apply.
>>334831652
Nobody cares about the plot of Harry Potter. The appeal is the comfy world of wonder, magic and friendship.
The funnest parts of the books are actually the "boring" day-to-day routine of magical school life.
What Harry Potter game is the most open world?
>>334820458
Hufflepuff. I'm not some purist shitstain. The more exotic looking, the better.

The first two games on GBC were like the only good Harry Potter games ever made. Still remember getting the Philosopher's Stone game in 2001 at my 9th birthday party and playing the shit out of it Too bad they were practically unbeatable and extremely frustrating for anyone playing without a guide.
>>334829954
Not hard to 99. When you die the game reloads and you keep the xp you got. I farmed the chess level at the end of thw game to 99s.
>>334833991

Nah, I just associate it with them cause they have a hard-on for the series.

I know this is the same person because the second post is 62 seconds after the first. 60 seconds for the post timer, and then 2 seconds for the post to go through.
Mate, please don't insert social outrage shit into otherwise unrelated threads. I know you enjoy being angry over that sort of thing, but bringing it up unprovoked is just asking for drama.
Everybody on /v/ already knows about the perils of SJW nonsense. Everybody here agree's with you.
When you make a post like this you're not going to find any real dissent — anybody who pretends to disagree with you is just being ironic, satirical or trolling. You won't get any genuine replies.
And even if you're just bating for attention, please remember that you won't get any (you)'s that aren't themselves trying to bait you. Your indulgent back-and-forth trolling is just fake and meaningless. You won't even remember it in 2 days time.
If you want attention and replies then try actually contributing to a thread. The relaxing camaraderie you feel during a pleasant discussion with like minded Anon's is ultimately far more rewarding than the empty, momentary thrill of seeing somebody pretend to be outraged at your post pretending to be outraged.
Fuck me, I'm projecting so hard right now.

An MMO wouldn't be good because there can be no immersion with a hundred random 12 year olds spamming stale memes in the chat.
>>334835313
Ok well this is news to me. Makes sense.

Why are the LEGO games so mediocre?
What's up guys, I'm back for more Harry Potter MMO gameplay.
In this video, I'll be showing you how to collect the Wizard card "Fulbert the Fearful" using 0.5 spell-casts.
BUT FIRST
The nostalgia is too strong for me. Sadly, i currently own no consoles just a decent-tier pc.
What is the best modern (16:9 ratio at least) HP game?
Why the fuck there is no rpg/create your own character set in that universe?
Imagine hogwarts having the size of skyrim-
>>334837397
Because any sense of magic is undercut by the immersion breaking slapstick Lego comedy.
The appeal of Harry Potter and the appeal of the Lego games just don't mix well.
>>334837431
Prisoner of Azkaban was the last HP game that is great. Order of the Phoenix is alright, but the rest aren't worth looking into.
So I just decided to play Pottermore again and maybe do few duels or shit
So when did they kill it and why?
>>334838181
In Sweden, back in the days, we hadHogwarts nu
Harry Potter is so great, when I was a kid I got obsessed with Hogwarts and my aunt gave me a badass train that opened and had some small rooms and characters, shit was cash
and the ps1 games did nothing but obsess me moreeven tho I stopped playing when you start hearing voldemort saying "let me kill you" because it was 2spooky for me
>>334838371
>tfwfick en fenix precis innan de stängde ner.
>>334838464
>badass train
Was it the train that takes you to Hogwarts? That's cozy.
Speaking of 2spooky, I know /v/ is againstdrugs, but one time I was playing Prisoner of Azkaban for the GBA whilehigh, and Ron's dialogue was in all-caps because Lupin had scared him, and at that time it was so terrifying to read because I legitimately had a thought that lead me to believe that Ron was actually shouting at me, desperately trying to explain that someone was trying to kill him.
I got so scared that I turned off the game immediately and spent the next few minutes feeling a little on edge.
>>334824037
I loved this game so much
I like how the Harry potter games got progresively worse as time went on.
the 3rd one was amazing, flying around hogwarts on a Griffon. But after that it just got shit.
>>334838995När stängde de ner? Brukade vara där i princip varje tillfälle jag kunde under 2006.
>tfw no Harry Potter game with Xenoblade Chronicles mechanics which main team consists of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna and Ginny
>>334839325
It was surprising how bad the fourth book games suddenly were. The third PC game is my favorite, but the second is more of a classic.
>>334839009
>playing games about magic

you asked for it
>>334839325
I'd say the whole HP craze started to die down after the first few books. Many of the Sorceror's Stone/Chamber of Secrets games seemed to have a lot of love put into them. Not so much afterwards.
>>334839325
The first 2 games were standalone adaptions of the book, with original soundtracks and little tying them to the films outside of the general aesthetics.
The third game was more closely tied to the movie, but it still carried much of the magic over from the first 2, only with a huge step up in technology.
the series really shit the bed with the 4th game. It was a piece of shit, the worst sort of lazy film tie-in. I didn't even bother finishing it, despite being an autistic obsessed fan at the time.
Sometimes I wonder how the series would have progressed if they continued doing their own thing instead of being cheap exploitative adaptions of the films. We could have gotten some really great games as the technology kept improving, and the tone kept maturing.
>>334839669
kek, I guess so, anon.
>>334814904
So what's the best game for just running around Hogwarts and is it on PC?
I remember playing Chamber of Secrets on Gamecube and that was pretty dope.
>>334822035
Are you able to play it on current PCs
>>334814904
Did Aragog feature in the CoS game at all? How realistic was he? I cant stand spiders, so I hope the dated graphics make that more bearable...
>>334840173
I have the second game, and I couldn't get it to run, but from what I can see online there shouldn't actually be any issues.
So I really don't know.
>>334840202
In the GBA version, yes, and here it is:
https://youtu.be/r9DlZneO8Z0?t=8m36s
This is the only time that he makes an appearance. You battle some optional small spiders beforehand, which you can also see in the video if you skip backwards slightly.
I'm with you, anon. I hate spiders so much that once I kill them I can't even pick them up because I get the shivers so bad. But this game did not affect me at all.
>>334814904
tfw CoS had better quidditch than the actual quidditch world cup game
I want a game where Argus Filch goes postal for being a non-magical cripple and arms himself with guns, bombs and all kind of commando shit out of frustration against Hogwarts and its bully students laughing and joking about him.
The game goes on years after the last book. You go on a genocide crusade through out the whole castle, teachers being bosses, each on its own area: Sprout on the greenhouse, the centaur teacher on its sky themed class, even Hagrid in the grounds or in the Forbidden Forest.
There is even a cute mascot, Ms Norris! In the end, you discover she influenced your fragile mind against the wizards, her being a Death Eater spy all along still loyal to the late Voldemort. Than you either choose to keep going and kill the last boss, Harry Potter the Head of Ministry, or steal one of these time-turners and go back in time to kill boss Ms Norris. Or both.
This thread needs more pictures
>>334840712
I'd play it.
>>334840857
Agreed.
>>334841037
>>334841129
That Ron looks like a deranged 30 year old hobo.
Please post some world building pictures; things like Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic or the Forbidden Forest. They're more interesting than seeing different artists interpretations of the main cast.
Imagine Fat Harry instead of Fat Drake

I owned rats once, many people reacted negatively to that because they were afraid. I would bet that people would've reacted in a better way if I told them that I was keeping spiders.. but fuck that, I'm far too scared of the wild ones to even consider buying them.
>>334842008
Alright, good.
>>334840712
You get all sorts of magical and muggle items in different locations, slowly building up your character to be a full commando or a Bloodbornesque. You could even have a knight build getting enchanted armor or even be a trickster type.
NewGame+ could have you playing as a student you create instead, being influenced by a pet of your choice, either a frog, a cat or a owl, with new secret areas in the castle avaiable.
>>334841937
Filch could be a Postal dude type of character, with one liners and such.
>>334815660
Half-blood Prince is pretty good. One of my favorites. It borrowed a lot from 5 but fixed the camera and controls.

Fellow Sven, which do you prefer? I was given a Swedish Harry Potter book as a child and absolutely hated it. I've always found English writing to be superior, so I'm biased.

How many kids were actually at Hogwarts?
Their were like 10 kids in Harry's year and house, which means there must have been 70 kids in Gryffindor altogether.
That means all of Hogwarts is around 280 students, which really isn't many.
![weird-harry-potter-covers-14[1].jpg_w=930.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9COBkas.jpg "weird-harry-potter-covers-14[1].jpg_w=930.jpg")

Fewer students due to death by Voldemort.

>>334824037
I think I played this game a little too much :^)
some time soon there has got to be someone who creates hogwarts in Unreal engine 4 and release that shit for any form of virtual reality
>>334842001
>Two kids
Didn't he have like half a dozen or some shit? Even worse Lupin and Tonks got killed and Harry became a father immediately after school. Then he got stuck with that ugly ginger who was using love potion on him.
>>334846861
What does Harry work with after school?
>>334847501
I think according to Rowling, auror, and eventually head auror.
tfw can't emulate PS2 Chamber of secrets
>>334847617
>Conqueror of Voldemort.
>Triwizard Champion.
>High-tier Seeker.
>Gave DADA lessons that probably saved dozens of students' lives.
>Re-Conqueror of Voldemort.
>Leader of the Aurors.

>>334848243

You just know he smashed in so many Veela backdoors that they just gave him a key
>>334848243
Love potion.
>>334847617
Question, didn't Neville become a teacher?
I remember he became a Auror as well.
>>334850193
He's stated as being the herbology professor in the epilogue, if I recall correctly.
>>334850193
Resigned to become a herbology teacher at Hogwarts.
harry potter made a generation of dumbass sluts.
