Rating Summary
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Harry Potter and his friends as they battle waves of enemies on a quest to find mystical objects and defeat an evil force. From an over-the-shoulder perspective, players use a wand to shoot beams of light at fantasy beings (e.g., wizards, giants, oversized snakes and spiders, a dragon). Most battles are fast-paced and frenetic, highlighted by constant “shooting” with the wand, explosions, and cries of pain; combat techniques such as run-and-cover and stealth are also employed. Defeated enemies generally disappear in flashes of light or puffs of smoke. The storyline sometimes references murder (e.g., “I'll kill you myself, Potter” and “No one else will die for me!”).
