In fact, one of the downsides to this game can be the camera work, which, despite its cinematic touches, can be exactly where you need it not to be. The character’s movement now functions more like first person games (WASD like Oblivion and first-person shooters) without the stereotypical 1 st person fixed camera. This version has evolved to include mouse-movement spells (think simplistic take on Lionhead’s Black and White) differentiated between action spells (L mouse button) and combat spells (R mouse button).

For those who watched the movie, it does a good job of maintaining the feel and replicating the story (mostly) of the movie. HP&OOTP, then, is closer to a real game than its predecessors.

The series has grown up with its target audience, so it’s no surprise that the first 2 games were overly simplistic platformers (collecting Bertie Botts’ Beans and Wizard Cards) working with pure novelty.
