Summary: EA CHECK BUGS Before you release your games
Comment: I purchased the World of Harry Potter. It has four games in it by EA. So far all of the games have had glitches and I have had to stop all the background stuff running just to get these Lame games to run. I dont have to do that for any of my other games. Shame on you EA for putting such junk out there on the market. I will not purchase another title from EA until they get some education on games making. Don't buy this game. It freezes, will not load, and you have to modify your computer's normal settings to get this thing to run. UGH.

Summary: Too many computer crashes and memory problems
Comment: I am using my iMac G3 (about 4 yrs old and using about a gig of memory to get enough memory to play this game. Nevertheless, it runs out of memory, specifically after the Skurge Challenge...the screen goes dark after Harry finishes the challenge and exits the room/ you can hear him walking about the castle but he cannot see (nor can I) where he is going. The only way I could get the game to come up again is when I accidentally stumbled Harry back into the Skurge challenge and once into the Rictusempra challenge. I was NEVER able to get to herbology or the spongify challenges at all (although I did manage to get Harry accidentally into the spongify challenge although he had not learned the SPELL yet..... I tried over and over again, trying different memory settings and restarting the game from the beginning. The game is also buggy as all heck. I also wrote to Amazon requesting a replacement which they sent in 1 day. the replacement was equally bad, so I simply gave up and bought a copy written for the PC and happily played the game on an IBM PC (worked perfectly). I do not know if this is my computer's fault or the game's fault, but I am now very leery of purchasing any games for the Mac at this time.

Summary: I love this game!
Comment: I am six and this game is awesome. My five-year-old brother loves the game too. I help him a lot. I love this game because it's so cool and magical. I just wish I could be Harry Potter and my friends could be Ron Weasley. It never freezes on me. We are running System X.

Summary: Worked well for us under OSX
Comment: We bought HPCoS with some trepidation over the problems people had with buggy software. I didn't even try to run it under OS9, but under OSX 10.2 we had no particular problems. Running on a G3/300 and a G5/2000 both worked well, though the G3 was pretty darn painful. The voices ran faster than the animation because the Rage 128 card wasn't up to the task. My 5 year old loved it and even managed to do most of it on his own (minus some of the scarier parts).

Summary: Mac OS 9 Users Beware
Comment: My five year old son and I played "Sorcerer's Stone" together and loved it. I ordered "Chamber of Secrets" despite the posted comments about its "bugginess". Once we loaded it and gave it plenty of memory the game ran perfectly until...I estimate about a third of the way through, as we shifted from one "challenge trial" to another, the screen went irrevocably black, which in effect ended the game. I called Aspyr and the tech knew just what had happened as all players who are running OS 9 experience this. He told me that they are working on a patch for this problem but he doesn't know when it will be available. We'll probably wait for the patch as we loved the first third (some real improvements over "Sorcerer's Stone). Hadn't even gotten to the first Quidditch match.
