Every Harry Potter Video Game Ranked Worst To Best

Another Harry Potter game released to mixed reviews from critics, Goblet of Fire really came in trying to shake things up from the games in the main series that had come before. It featured multiplayer action, and a new way of combining spells and powers to make them more powerful, but did away with the immensely popular open world and free roaming aspects of the prior games.

Certain franchises just need to have an open world, and Harry Potter is now one of them. Chopping from level to level and taking away the magic of exploring Hogwarts really does end holding Goblet of Fire back from the other games in the franchise at the end of it all.

There is, however, a noticeable improvement in the character models and the shift from a puzzle-based tone to a more action-packed one is a pretty good reflection on having the Tri-Wizard Cup going on. But all of these potentially good points are undone by the frustrating inclusion of having to replay entire levels over and over again to even complete the game fully.

Throw that on top of the short supply of story missions, and that lack of exploration again, and there's that sense of being slightly ripped off from this game.
