Customer Reviews:

Wrong platform in Amazon product listing [Posted on 2007-12-16]
Despite what Amazon lists in their product listing (98/2000/XP), this game requires XP or Vista.

(The above review sat here for several weeks with no impact. Then I decided to click on the "Update Product Info" link which I hadn't seen earlier. Amazon immediately modified the product description. Too late to help me, but maybe it'll help someone else.)

So unbelievably bad [Posted on 2008-01-09]
I had high hopes for this game because of the first three. I thought it would be mostly the same except hopefully better graphics. I was horrified. It is extremely difficult to walk or move in any direction. I found the wand almost impossible. I couldnt direct it, let alone cast a spell. It was not engaging despite the high quality graphics. I am sticking to the first three. They had horrible graphics, but the game sucked you in and it was fun to play. Do not buy this its a waste of money!

Mixed opinion [Posted on 2008-01-12]
This product did not work with 98 for us as advertised. Had to upgrade my daughters computer to XP. (Not a terrible thing, just wish I would have known that before I bought it - I probably would have looked at a different game). My daughter enjoys it very much!

Buyer beware [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I probably will never know if the game is enjoyable or not because it simply will not load, and my Win XP system exceeds the specs that EA said are needed. EA tel support is nonexistent - after going through their automated call screener, you get a message announcing office hours, and that those offices are now closed for the day (even though it's 1 1/2 hours prior to the stated closing time.) I see now why this product has been so heavilly discounted.

Stick with one of the first 3 titles, buy GOF if you must, avoid OOTP like the plague!

Best Game I've Ever Played [Posted on 2008-04-12]
This is the best game I've ever played. The video game has nearly flawless graphics that make me thankful I am running it on a PC. It is fast, fun, and, much like New York City in Spider Man 2, there is not a single area in Hogwarts that you cannot travel. I have spent hours upon hours playing this terrific game. Don't listen to the other negative comments- this game is Perfect. :)
