About this deal

Baker and Amrich complained that the nighttime sequences were rendered too dark by the Game Boy Advance's lack of a backlight. Harris remarked that "it's almost as if the artists actually digitized [ Harry Potter actor] Alan Rickman in his deadpan stroll for his game representation".

Storywise, whole chapters of the books like the Norbert Quest that were completely ignored in the films was made into one of the coolest quests in the whole game! The colours, the amazingly detailed backgrounds, I love Pokémon, but these games put Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal (We don't need to talk about the other Pokémon games graphics-wise XD. If anyone can tell me how to finish the task please tell me because I can't bear trying any more, and the game is now gathering dust.What if you could leave the nonmagical world of the Muggles behind and enrol in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Some characters are bugged to the point where they might use certain portraits from other characters instead. In this version of the game, Harry uses Flipendo on the mountain troll and it falls in a hole in the girls' bathroom. Dan Amrich of GamePro and Gerald Villoria of GameSpot regarded the game as a run-of-the-mill adventure title, but considered it to be more challenging than expected, which Villoria attributed to the delay in Harry's Flipendo spell and the erratic enemy AI.

As you progress through the game (and the story), you learn new spells and find hidden items like Bertie Botts beans and wizard cards.He is rescued by a centaur, who explains that unicorn's blood can maintain the life of someone close to death, and Harry realizes that the figure is his parents' killer, Lord Voldemort. With such a rich and interesting story to be made into game form, it's a surprise that more of the book wasn't used in planning the quests. To be able to purchase content for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems, a Nintendo Network ID is also required and your funds usable through the Nintendo Account must be merged with the funds tied to your Nintendo Network ID.

Michael Lafferty of GameZone said that the game lived up to his expectations as a fan of the book series and figured that it would be appealing to casual gamers as well, but warned that the initial puzzles would be too simple for veterans and that the enemies' artificial intelligence (AI) was predictable. This effect lasts until you switch spells once more or enter a different room, though this effect is impossible to apply to Lumos' colour. Snails and pixies are a little easier and more predictable, but the most annoying aspect of the game is lack of variety in the enemies that can be found. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Frank Provo of GameSpot was very positive about the GBA game's recreation of the novel; saying "The main thing to keep in mind is that Prisoner of Azkaban on the GBA offers a fun way for Harry Potter fans to step into the shoes of their favorite wizard-in-training and experience firsthand everything that happened in the third installment of the series.Throughout the game, Harry learns spells by engaging in a Simon Says-like exercise in which the player must match the movements of Harry's professor with the D-pad. Upon reaching Hogwarts, the trio follow the events of the novel, and learn magic by attending classes. Utilising the GBA Link, Game Boy Advance players can hook into their Game Cube game, transferring maps, magical items and secret spells for added value. However, in later parts of the game during the detention in the forest, it's possible to use the said charm on the trolls as there are no gaps to push them in with Flipendo (using it on them causes them to smack their own heads and if cast on them five times they will fall over and remain out cold). The main dissapointment of the game to me though is that you don't get to fly the funky car at the start.
