Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GameCube)

Product Information

In the final versions of the sixth generation console adaptations, the game starts directly with Harry, Ron and his brothers arriving at the Burrow, with no introductory cutscene. Harry Potter fans will most probably enjoy it but both "Philosopher's Stone" and "Chamber of Sercrets" have a mess of a story line. The sixth-generation console is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and competed with Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox. geo is present in the game, so it is likely that the Hospital Wing was supposed to be a room in the game.

In this version and the computer version, Ron states that the Ford Anglia is parked in Charing Cross Road.

The Polyjuice potion is brewed by Hermoine alone, who only informs Harry of the plan when it's finished. The player must then find, on the land next to it, an Owl Treat for Hedwig to unlock the exit that leads to the boss of the level. It is not possible to enter Gringotts through Diagon Alley even though the bank itself is attached to the location. These challenges are all based on events from the book, for example, travelling into the Forbidden Forest and gathering ingredients for a potion Hermione is making. However, if you load one of the two dueling levels after the challenge using hacks, or use cheats to gain all the spells before one of them takes place, you are actually able to fight Malfoy and Goyle using the Incendio charm.

Activities are balanced between exploration, puzzle-solving (sometimes with the aid of Hedwig), and combat. The game file has a dedicated screen of when you lose or win a game of Quidditch, it shows the screen of when you face Slytherin by default, or Gryffindor on winning. Going in the different classes to get new spells never gets boring and neither does exploring the open world.Opening the chest will make the game skip some frames to load the dungbomb model, collecting them will not affect your inventory, as you cannot use dungbombs in the game anyway.

It was released in North America on 9 December 2003, over two years later than the PC/Mac, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance versions. In 2009, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince became the first Harry Potter to appear on mobile devices. This new game was developed by Warthog Games and set out to fix some of the problems encountered in Chamber of Secrets such as loading times. The movement and camera angles in this scene are very different from the final version and the first shot of this cutscene does not exist in the final cutscene, it starts directly for the shot on Harry. The following year, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire offered a new spellcasting system that allowed for collaborative and context-sensitive charms.Combined console sales of the Harry Potter line reached 3 million units in the United States by July 2006. Text for an unused introductory cutscene narrating the events of the story up until the game starts at the Burrow. Its gameplay differed greatly from the other versions, followed the film far more closely than the other games, though it was criticised for reusing the spells and world map from the Chamber of Secrets version of the game.
