Every Harry Potter Video Game Ranked Worst To Best
9. Both Wonderbook Games
Whilst most Harry Potter games fulfill every fan's fantasy of running around Hogwarts, talking to professors, learning spells and going on adventures, the two Wonderbook: Book of Spells & Book of Potions titles go one better by standing out as one of the few games based on the universe that allows its players to become a full student of the wizarding world as themselves.
Making the most out of the PS3's Move and Eye technology, and requiring a Wonderbook peripheral to play, Book of Spells is a game filled with spells and powers created by JK Rowling herself that players can learn by using the motion controls as a way of waving the wand. It's a novel gimmick for the time, but one that doesn't exactly have a lot of replay value.
Book of Potions came out a year later and improved this aspect dramatically. The potion creation process includes more ingredients and actions that allow the motion controls to really flex themselves a little more, whilst adding a couple more fun potions to the Harry Potter lore.
These are two simple, gimmick-heavy titles, but they're also two games that know exactly what they are. They offer some pretty harmless fun for a certain demographic, but are hardly going to eat up hours and hours of a player's day.
