As the biggest franchise of the decade, Harry Potter has one of the largest movie tie-in game collections. EA's Harry Potter games for the PS2, Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC range dramatically in quality from fantastic to awful. From collecting beans in the wonderfully nostalgic Chamber of Secrets game, to exploring the open world Hogwarts in the Order of The Phoenix game, to the terrible bugs of the Goblet of Fire game, when you play one of the Harry Potter movie tie-in games there's no way to know if it'll be a good time or the opposite. Spanning the entirety of the 2000s, the golden era of movie tie-in video games, the Harry Potter games are perhaps the defining series of the genre. Today, Woofa plays every single Harry Potter video game and discovers why some of them are considered great while others are not.
No matter what it takes, Woofa beat every single Harry Potter movie tie-in game so you don't have to.

Ok so it turns out I hadn’t “cracked the code” about the Philosopher’s Stone. As a couple comments have made me aware, I played the Xbox remake version which is different to the PS1 version. While the one I played was released after the Chamber of Secrets, the PS1 version WAS the one released alongside the first movie. It seems as though that was a tragic mistake as the version I played is significantly more painful but oh well. Too late now. Also been a couple mentions of spin-off games like Quidditch World Cup, Hogwarts Legacy or the Lego games… I can see a world where a video titled “I beat every Harry Potter spin-off game so you never have to” drops in a month or two…
