MasonicGamer.com - Fans of Harry Potter all issued a collective sob when the last book was over. That was it – no more adventures of their favorite young wizard. Fans of the movies probably had similar thoughts when that series finished, although I imagine the pain was much less because the books were about 100 times better. But it’s not over. The stories may be done, but now we can enter the wizarding world ourselves, thanks to the magic of video games.
The newest entry into the interactive Potter experience is the imaginatively-named Harry Potter for Kinect, due out next month. You’ll be joining Hogwarts, choosing your wand, going to class, casting spells, playing quidditch, and even scanning in your face for that ultra-realistic “I’m in the game” feel. I’ve had a brief go at some of the mini-games, based on events from the movies, and here’s what I thought:
No major Harry Potter game has been released since 2011. Are they gone forever or can we expect new ones to return to loyal Harry Potter fans?
Sadly not much. Hopefully they can make some good Harry Potter games. I loved Lego Harry Potter games
Most of them were loosely based on the films.Now that there's no more movies being made for the time being, I don't see a new Harry Potter game releasing anytime soon.
Sorcerer's Stone and Order of the Phoenix were a blast to play because of their explorative nature. Goblet of Fire was another good one too, many good times with the co-op on that one.
They became trash after Chamber of Secrets and Quidditch World Cup. The Lego games were fun though.
