Warner Bros didn't stop at turning the Harry Potter books into a series of movies. They also decided to release a video game adaptation in conjunction with each film and Electronic Arts obliged. The earlier Harry Potter games were realized as typical Action Adventure games with the usual tropes of Inexplicable Treasure Chests, Rewarding Vandalism, Bottomless Pits, Floating Platforms, and so forth. Almost exclusively playing as Harry, you learn spells from the teachers to get through the Malevolent Architecture of Hogwarts and win Boss Battles. Along the way, you collect goodies -- mainly Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and collectible wizard cards -- while vaguely drifting through the canon storyline. Rather cartoony animation and cheesy voice acting also figured in.

Rather cartoony animation and cheesy voice acting also figured in. As the series went along, the graphics became more photo-realistic until they reached the point where they started using digital scans of the actors. Hogwarts as well gradually evolved from not particularly looking anything like the castle of the films to being a seamless duplication of it. Some of the actors from the movies, mostly the cheaper ones, were eventually brought in to voice their characters for the games. Out of the central trio, Rupert Grint has voiced his character for the games, but Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have not. The format also changed into more of a Wide Open Sandbox with various Mini Games such as dueling other students, playing Quidditch, and brewing potions. The format changed again with the Deathly Hallows games (two to go with the two movies), which shifted the gameplay into more of a Third-Person Shooter. The Hallows games do continue with basically the same "look" as the fifth and sixth games, however. There are also two LEGO games, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7. This page, however, is dedicated strictly to the EA-produced Harry Potter games. The LEGO Harry Potter game is covered under the Lego Adaptation Game article. And there's the unofficial parody game, Warthogs.
