The game's core gameplay is straightforward. Taking control of Harry, the player explores Hogwarts castle and grounds. Throughout the course of the game, the player will encounter events that tie into the storyline of the second book. Filling the gaps between these events are various classes, where the player will learn how to fly a broomstick and learn new spells for combating bosses, among other things.
As the game begins, you're starting your first year at Hogwarts. You explore the school and its grounds, gather items for potions, cast spells and battle a dazzling spectrum of adversaries in turn-based wizard challenges. Diversions abound as you solve action-oriented puzzles with Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Albus Dumbledore and a host of unforgettable characters from the now internationally acclaimed J. K. Rowling book. Colourful graphics render Harry's mystical world in spirited detail, making the journey from Privet Drive to Diagon Alley and the Gringotts, then on to Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest, enchanting and exciting. You can also trade and collect Famous Wizard Cards to unlock rewards and increase Harry's skills. You can trade cards with a friend using a Game Link Cable. And as you attain experience points for Harry, you can upgrade spells and improve Harry's strength so he can take on new opponents.
