Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
In the game, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron’s romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars HP & Half Blood Prince Wii
My son LOVES this game. He says it is much better than the other H.P. games he has played. It makes you feel as though you are truly part of the game. Would recommend to any H.P. fan.
5 Stars My grandson loves it!
I purchased this for my grandson’s birthday (age 11), after consulting with his dad about what he already had, wanted, or was allowed to have. Harry Potter was at the top of the list. He has a Wii, and does video games more with the TV than the computer.
4 Stars Interactive Games
Great fun to mix potions, cast spells, fly around the Quidish Field!
If you love Harry and have Wii this game beats all the computer games by a mile! Great fun!Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
4 Stars enjoyable for my daughter
I bought this game for my 9yr old daughter and she loves battling Bellatrix and the death eaters in dueling matches. She also enjoys making potions and Quidditch. But I do find the game a little boring when playing by myself. But when we take turns it’s a blast to play.
4 Stars Could be Better but not too bad for younger kids
My 9 year-old little brother saw the commercial for this game and really wanted it. I bought it for him for his birthday despite the bad reviews and he loved it. This was our first HP game so we can’t really compare it to other HP games. We loved the potions and the dueling. Quidditch was not as good as expected. Like what one of the other reviewers said, basically Harry Potter flies by himself. Also as another person pointed out, we finished the whole story mode in one day which was sort of lame but at least we still had to find all the crests and stuff.
Pros:
-Exploring Hogwarts
-Potions
-Dueling
-Good for little HP obsessed kids lol
Cons or improvements I wish to see:
-I wish it was more like sims…in other words, more interaction. I wish HP could like sit on the seats, talk to more people and stuff.
-The Story mode needs to be LONGER and more detailed. I did find the mis-quotes and other story mistakes rather annoying. Like sometimes HP will say what Ron said in the movie. Also I wish I could like sit down in the grand hall and dig into all the yummy food and stuff: more interaction.
-More Spells and charms
I gave it a good rating because my brother loved it
