This is an excellant companion to the rest of your Harry Potter series. It is very neat to compare the differances of the American: Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone and the UK's : Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1) .

The reader, Jim Dale, does a great job using a different voice for each character. When I listen, I forget that it is just one person reading the book! It is easy to get absorbed in the story.

OH MY GOSH!! How does this happen! How does a series start off wonderful and then become this fast moving train we have here. Half the time I couldn't tell what was going on! Thank goodness I read the book or I wouldn't have understood half of the halved halved scenes. Again discrimination against hous elfs, "Hermione where are you!!! Again Dobby's contribution to the movie is taken over by who els but the incompetant Neville who somehow finds it by strolling past it once when you're really supposed to walk past it three times thinking what you want it to become. Hermione somehow knows of the room already but I too lazy to find it. Kreacher, the cause of Sirius' death gets barely a minute on screen so why may I ask is he even in here, just so the moviemakers could say he was there. Also when harry was training in Occlumecy he did reflect Snapes Legilimency spell but he didn't see that scene becaus all you see from unfocused Legilimency is fragments of scenes. Again the makers are too lazy to bring in the pensieve and do an entire scene. When Harry sees the scene in Snape's head he decides he doesn't care and runs away. Also the issue with Cho Chang, the love affair with her started out fine but it ended with no explanation with them not even going out just POP! apart. Dolores Umbridge has been transformed from a toad like woman to a skinny pink clad cheery woman. There really aren't enough scenes to really hate her and I would have felt sorry for her if I didn't have the many more numerous things she does in the book! Anyways I've lost hope for this series. I wil be seeing the Half-Blood Prince but just to point out to my sister, who has not read the book, what's missing. Chris Columbas please save this series!

This is my first experience playing a computer game for any length of time. I LOVE it. This game is extremely addictive. As a huge Harry Potter fan, I can tell you that every time you put the CD in your computer, you feel like you're at Hogwarts. The graphics are great, and many cast members lent their voices. There is so much to see and do in this game, and if you are new to the gaming experience, this is a great way to learn.

It does play pretty slowly in my PC--I had to lower the resolution and close any other programs running, but it's still very fun.
