A Harry Potter RPG... has potential. Honestly, it would be extremely interesting if it had mechanics centered around class attendance, being absent, getting searched for by Filch, the teachers, the ghosts, etc. that progresses as you play. It seems like the best way to do the spells would be to have some happen in real time in and out of action sequences (like using Lumos to light your way in the dark, then switching it off so you can escape when an enemy sees you) while others (like Alohemora) are situationally active, and others (such as Imperio) are accessed through dialogue trees. It would also be cool if you could level certain abilities at different rates, to accomodate different play styles, and make the whole game beatable for each playstyle. Like an Alohemora specialist could walk into Gringott's and walk out with enough money to sink a galleon, then bribe their way to the top. Stuff like that.
This was really one of the first reviews where Joe had a modernised angry review of a game, pretty much inaugurating the golden period of the funniest and best angry reviews ever.
@@arkhamknight2506 hes still the best person to watch for gaming news and hes the only reviewer that actually reviews the whole game before reviewing it. Every game review ive searcher for on youtube the first 20 motherfuckers that come up have only played the first 1 usually maaaybeeee the first 3 if your lucky which is still only the beginning of the game which often leads too completely inaccurate conclusions making them worthless.
@@SuperKillJoy15 I wouldn't put Skyrim, one of the worst RPGs ever made, anywhere near those other games. Those other games are masterpieces by comparison. Seriously, Skyrim is shit and because it sold a bunch doesn't make it good. It's an absolute disgrace to the Elder Scrolls series and the representation of how low Bethesda stoop for that casual money.
I would LOVE a Harry Potter RPG where you create your own student, choose what classes you want to specialize in, and go from year 1-7 and ultimately decide whether you want to join Voldemort or Harry in attacking/defending the castle. And it'd be awesome to have a quiz like in Fallout to determine what house you're going to be in.
It isn't going to happen because game companies in general dislike the idea of movie inspired video games nowadays. It's a good thing Star Wars is still modern though.
Wait hold up a second. Anyone remember Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the PC? It was a Zelda style Harry Potter game, and it was fantastic - if a little easy. Also had a great soundtrack. It was composed by the dude who went on to do the Elder Scrolls soundtrack.
Joseph Franc Never played that one, but I had Chamber of Secrets on GBA, and while the Basilisk battle was pretty tame, the game itself was really fun and full of content :-)
+Joseph Franc Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban (the crowning of "old"system) and Half-Blood Prince (potions brewing was addicting as hell). Joe looks at "HP:CoD Edition" and calls previous games bad because of it. It's SAD
+Karol Nowak The last two games do feel half-assed, but the old ones were genuinely good. Especially the first three ones which was more puzzle-oriented than action. I remember using various magic spells in Prisoner of Azkaban to discover secrets throughout the school - It was good.
It is actually a shame since the first two harry potter games based on the first two films were actually good, had things from the book that were missing from the movies and had a lot of fun stuff to do and explore, I think it is because they were old fashioned platformers rather than shooters which to be honest were pretty fun, it was the 3rd game when they messed up the games
You're probably thinking of the 4th, the 3rd game was amazing Imo. Btw, did you ever try out the GBA versions? They're great too, especially the 3rd, since it had alot of replayability thanks to the levelling system.
Tell me you're speaking about the pc version. I played harry potter 1 and 2 games on my playstation 1 and Oh my Gad. It was fucked up. Really fucked up. Who else remember all huge donjons inside poudlard who replace magic lessons ?
Chamber of Secrets on the PS2 was a really great game. Still loved how you could drain all of Slytherin's house points by purposely getting caught in late hours while pretending to be Crab and Goyle with the polyjuice potion.
I thought Prisoner of Azkaban was really good when I was a kid, Exploration, puzzles, bunch of cool spells and decent combat. And flying around on Hippogriff was pretty cool.
+AzureKite619 man can you help me,i had a harry potter game when i was young and you had to go to class,develop skills,fly around ,basically bully but with harry potter and i cant remember the name of the game because i want to paly it again now
+AzureKite619 Hell yeah Prisoner of Azkaban was a lot of fun. The puzzles really frustrated the kid in me lol. The Harry Potter games on Ps2 were quite decent. They actually put some effort in them.
+RuiRuichi the last good one to me was order of the phenoix, it was pretty bad ass with a decent open world and spells....goblet of fire on ps2 was hit and miss in some sections, 3 was fun as hell, wish i still had it honestly, 2 was ok, not as good as 3 and i dont remember much of 1 on the ps1
Joe you shouldn't judge an entire series of games by just playing two in the series. Especially if your playing the games that aren't representative of most of them. Most of the games 1-3, 5-6 are open world games set at Hogwarts castle. Where there are plenty of things to do. Such as doing side missions, finding secrets, and exploring the castle with the spells you learn throughout the game. Additionally in 1-3 there was a house point system in place. Doing things good for the school such as winning quittich matches, and doing well in certain side activities earned your house points. However doing activities considered bad by the school such as being caught by prefects past curfew or in restricted sections of the school would cause your house to lose points. At the end of the game, regardless of how well you completed the main plot you could still lose the house cup. I haven't played it all the way,but 4 seemed like a top down shooting gallery and i didn't like that. However the other games in the series excluding 4 and both 7s are generally good games to me. In 2 you could free fly on Harry's nimbus 2000 around the Hogwarts's grounds. In 3 you could play as Harry, Ron, and Hermione each with their own special abilities. In 5 they introduced a new system of spell casting where instead of hitting a button to cast a spell you would have to move the analogue sticks in certain configurations, and in dueling EVERY spell was useful in some way. Spamming stupefy or any spell that matter in a duel would get you disarmed and beat fast.(on the Ps2 version) In 6 they expanded on that spell casting system, and refined the dueling even more. They also added several mini games such as potion making which was challenging, but the challenge didn't come from unresponsive controls (at least not on the wii) I couldn't speak for any of the spin off games other than Quittach world cup (which i thought was fun with friends), but I'd say over all the harry potter series of games is mostly good with a few bad apples in the mix. Btw your memory charms are horrible angry joe.
JoeMomma81 I own 2 and 3. However, I cannot get past the part where you have to fight the hinkypunks after you get Lumos Duos. During the mission where you're trying to save Neville. JHJHRHSUFHIOHFIUHIUORAJOASHHFSHFDUIAHIUFSIUF FUCKING HATE IT!
"And now, since magic mimics modern ballistic weapons, which is bullshit!!" This line still cracks me up. So great going back to this after the amazing Hogwarts Legacy
The first 3 are pretty fun, with unique story lines and really fun free roam. You can play quiditch, and in the third, you can fly around the entire Hogwarts Ground on a broom.
I liked 4, when you're playing with a friend it's fun. 5 and 6 were my absolute favorite, I really wish some company could get the license to all these games and release them all on one disc or something, similar to the Megaman Legacy collection, that way I can play them again.
@@HotelMari0Maker I feel the same way about his videos and I just recently started watching him too lol😅 that RAMBO review is beautiful LMAO "he's a man not a god!" Ever since then I've been binging all his videos haha

+Katen Barnard The only thing good about 5 was Hogwarts. 4 was linear as hell, but at least the combining spells mechanic was interesting, and it was fun to try and complete. But yeah, 1-3 were definitely the best (except for 2 GBA version, fuck that game)
gruu baa - I know your response was over a year ago but anyways: he doesn't say muggleborn is bad. He shows the clip then says how that's a bad word in the universe (meaning mudblood).
Shubham Gaikwad It's a Twitch emote. twitchemotes.com/emote/_Kreygasm_ It is often used when you describe something that's really good or you like it very much. So good, that you have a *Kreygasm*
What I want to see, an epic RPG taking place during the first Wizard War with Voldemort as a character that you create yourself. Dialogue choices that affect the story in some way (there's so much room to work with here, we only know bits of the first war). Maybe the finale is a big ass duel with Voldemort and it's an unwinnable fight or maybe you can win by surviving until Dumbledore shows up to save your ass and you get a good ending where you survive until the 2nd Wizard War and it could be a Red Dead Redemption type ending where Voldemort shows up after his return to take you down personally. You send your family off into hiding because it's you he wants and go outside to be insta-killed. Imagine a game where you're trying to recruit various factions to go against Voldemort, factions who might have a reason to not want to help you. That shit would be awesome. You get new weapons in the form of new wands and maybe the reward for beating the game on the hardest difficulty or getting 100% is access to the Elder Wand which trounces everybody.
don't even that movie was a Fuckin disgrace I just watched it to laugh at the whole thing but the first time I practically cried over it and definitely when it takes 5 earth benders and 10 hand movements to lift one boulder and that was where I left it
Lycan Ferret Awhile ago, Joe reviewed the Last Airbender moive, and wonder if the anime was good or not. Now i'm commenting to say this is how fans of the anime felt when the moive came out badly, way worse actually lol
Micheal Taylor it was worse imagine your favorite show at the time get's turned into a joke when they could make it amazing they give you trash like with this harry potter game although I could understand if they had little money on the budget but still make it seem like you tried it's just as horrible as the play the Avatar gang went to even the DB movie they made sucked I mean really piccolo looks like THAT and the fights are BS.(I could rant on and on but I feel more like listening to Disturbed)
Lycan Ferret I don't need to imagine it,because I already seen it. Eversince I was younger ,I use to watch avatar series and loved the entire series. . .I grew up kinda with the show so I know :( Im just giving Joe a compression >.
+Pajdo Velicanstveni They had a harry potter RPG for the Game Boy Colour of all things, one of my favorite games of all time, i just beat it for the x time a few days ago.
The first three HP games very actually very enjoyable. There were decent combat, story and even side missions where you could find bits and pieces of lore. Ultimately, if I remember correctly the soundtrack in Hogwarts was absolutely awesome. I know that the nostalgia forces me to overlook certain cons, yet I would recommend the first three games to any HP fan. :)
I think this review got me thinking of the possibilities that could have been explored if the game followed the events that happened at the school during the events of Deathly Hallows part 1. imagine seeing what the new teachers and classes are like and talking to students and getting their opinion on everything. Imagine how a first year student would feel as this would be their first year in training and thus their first impression, then imagine how a returning student would feel about the school being taken over. The Deathly Hallows book mentioned the fact Defense against the Dark Arts class got changed to Dark Arts I'm curious as to how this idea was never explored.
They should make a RPG game, that follows the storyline of all 7 books. You follow the entire plot and storyline of every books, and all the unimportent subplots is sidequests, like the birthday party for the no headed ghost in book 2 is a little sidequest. That could be a very good and long game, if the gameplay is topnotch. They could allso split it in 2 so the first game is book 1-4 and the second is 5-7 that would be awesome.
Chamber of Secrets on the GBC and Prisoner of Azkaban on the GBA were RPG styled. They followed the books and movies rather close. Chamber of Secrets even had Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party as well as Quidditch. The sad thing is EA made all of the Harry Potter games (as far as I know) and all of the previous games (Half-Blood Prince down) were good. EA is just becoming a garbage company, I suppose.
@@eternalbeing3339 just saw it too, games a hit but of course everyone who has put in at least ten hours into it knows this game is truly remarkable, I gotta get back to playing it.
so true . i still remember playing harry potter and the sorceres stone , looking for secrets and playing some quidditch. or playing the world quidditch tournament game itself wich was also awesome . i do wish that another company would take over for these games and remake them to be actualy awesome
I do apologise for sounding rude but don't judge earlier installments of a series by the newest ones. The earlier Harry Potter games were actually fun, had challenges and side missions, and weren't basically Call of Duty: Magical Warfare. Note that by earlier Harry Potter games, I meant Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. Goblet of Fire was a piece of shit and I haven't played any of the others yet
Scootaboom Studios Personally I loved the first 3 games, they were childish, sure, but they had the HP charm. These games, and even the last 4 movies.... ehh.
HP games: 1 - I rented it once as a kid, can't really remember it. 2 - Very good. Introduced the free-roam system to the series and had a cool, almost RPG-like atmosphere. Even better for a kid. 3 - Amazing, I have very fond memories of it. Expanded on both elements of 2. 4 - Sucked. Way different from 2 & 3, very linear. 5 - A great breath of life. Brings back the "open-school" style, with improved graphics and bigger stories. 6+ I never played....for obvious reasons. I still think positively of the HP series of games for, along with the book/movies, for introducing me to the fantasy genre and being fun games to boot. As Joe said, a full Harry Potter RPG would be really cool. Maybe someday...
first 3 were great! The fourth was TERRIBLE! because they changed the format from open world to missions but they changed it back and the fifth and sixth were great games.
I actually have a sweet tooth for the 4th game, it isn't my favorite in the series at all, but it was really cool! my favorite has to be the 5th, 2nd favorite is the 1st
A lot of older stuff are better then the new ones in this generation apparently, which is rather sad. Not because of the "nostalgia" bull crap, but because things like video games actually do play better then the new ones. That's not to say that they're all terrible or anything, but it just feels like that the more stuff come in, the more bland and stupid that they get. And this pretty much goes out for everything else in entertainment as well. I hope that one day, we will get decent movie licensed games again, and not crap like these, Iron Man 2, Battlefield, Thor, Green Lantern, Amazing Spider-Man 2, etc.
Grew up with the first three harry potter games. Damn they were good at world building and atmosphere when it came to Hogwarts and wizard card collecting. 3 was the personal fav because the gameplay was the most polished at that point (not to mention third year's story was dope for it) and you got to play as the three main characters throughout. I didn't even realize Jeremy Soule composed them but it makes sense with how memorable the music was.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban we're all awesome on PC as a kid. The console variations were a bit muddled and different from their PC counterparts but still solid. (I own the trilogy on PS2.) But PC was where it was at. I loved those games as a kid.
I played the first three Harry Potter games when I was a kid, I really enjoyed them. The second one especially. It was like an open world game. You got to explore Hogwarts and the Hogwarts grounds. You attended classes and learned new useful spells that allowed you to access new areas and get collectibles that you were't able to get before. You discovered hidden passage ways that were not part of the story, but were used for finding collectibles. The second and third game were this way. I vaguely remember the first game, but I don't remember if it was linear or open world.
I normally would completely agree with Joe, but here I just can't. You can't justify judging every game in a series based on two games. Harry Potter 1-3 were actually VERY good games. I honestly recommend playing them.
The EA games for Book/Movie 5 and 6 were *good* .. the fighting was kinda meh.. it did the job. But you *explored* Hogwards, had classes, fights and you *did* get extra info, talk to the portrats, discover hidden pathways to sneak through the castle.. Hell I got lost half the time because Hogwarts felt *huuuuuge*! But they even took care of that "problem" by having you use the twins' Map, which showed you through little appearing footprints how to get to your destination the quickest, even taking into account secret shortcuts through portraits you already discovered!.. It was totally fine, although the fighting was kinda slow and underwhelming - *although* the spells all made sense. You had to make special movements with your controller sticks to perform desperately needed spells. Expelliarmus was almost impossible to hit, because the enemy would deflect it, worst case upon yourself! - But Expelliarmus would (like the freezing spell) *end* the fight in your favor. Why? because people can't fight if they are frozen, disarmed or if they are hooked into the air by their feet leaving them to just hang there. This made *sense* ! Also I seem to remember you could deflect spells back at the caster by perfectly timing your shield charm! Amazing the more I think about it^^ This/These last games are horrible.
4-7 was horrible yeah with 5 and 6 you can explore but you honestly didn't do anything but walk around the Hogwarts :( At least with the first 3 games when you explored you could do side missions that was actually fun!
that's kind of what made it so cool, to be there exploring the castle, and from the two of them, i like TOOTP more, they literally took the blueprints made by Jo Rowling herself, and built the entire castle as she envisioned it, for you to free explore it... it was awesome as f**k
Now in 2023 we get to see what a Wizarding World game can be without EA using it as a cash grab. Thank you Avalanche Games for doing the franchise right this time around.
I remember playing the first harry potter game when I was a kid and I liked it alot! Flying with broom, exploring the castle but that's all I remember. :)
1, 2, and 3 on pc were actually pretty good when they came out but I've not played them for years. As where the Chamber of Secrets on gameboy color and the prisoner of azkaban on GBA (They were both RPGs)
What on earth happened to the fantastic sense of adventure and brilliance that was manifest in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on ps2. That game was so fun, you could wander through Hogwarts at night with the oddly satisfying stealth mechanics; collecting wizard cards was actually fun and the fact that it didn't follow on perfectly from the movie, allowing you to explore the open and diverse world was a godsend. Whoever made that game needs to get back to working on the franchise because although I played that game as a child, I would play it again now. Fantastic!
I own 5 and 6 on the Wii, and both of those are actually pretty good. 5 is more like the Lego series versions, where there are a variety of things to interact with and you are rewarded for finding and exploring everything. Hogwarts is pretty huge and is adapted from both the films and the real castle and sets. 6 looks better than 5 and the wizard duelling is much better, but the interactivity is greatly lowered. I did enjoy the more creative made-up versions of Hogwarts present in earlier games, but 5 and 6 were both great adaptations of the films.
I know, right? I totally agree. But the pc version of chamber of secrets is a lot better than the ps2 one. Give it a try :) you'll love it. It's very different than the ps2 one.
Portalguy1000 I recently played through my box set of the first three PC games and I'd say the second is the best overall. You can see potential in the first, and oddly enough its most challenging elements (learning spells and Quidditch) are its most endearing aspects, but it's poor in most other ways. The second has a lot to explore, plus now you can actually redo most challenges and explore freely, which the first sorely lacked. The third looks the best and is nice in that it includes Hermione and Ron as playable characters, but has less content than 2.
José Cuesta Well, I kind of assumed he meant the 6th gen version, but thinking about it now he might have meant the ps1 version, which was pretty good. However, the Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2 versions of Sorcerer's Stone came out in 2003, a year after Chamber of Secrets.
Order of the Phoenix is too easy. There was absolutely no challenge. I prefer to play games with challange in them, I don't like game where you can just waltz through in a couple of hours.
I've only played Harry Potter 5 & 6 on the Wii and I gotta say Joe, they were pretty awesome games. You could explore Hogwarts in an open world setting with cool wand dueling mechanics. So I can't believe you called all the other games a waste of money with one fell swoop.
A Harry Potter RPG or MMO would be awesome, open world, you choose to join 1 of 4 houses, participate with others houses/players, playing quidditch, triwizard event, raiding dungeon in dark wood, etc. It has so much potential
11 years later we finally have the Harry Potter RPG that Joe requested... and it is fking AWESOME!!! I am 26h in currently, and I have only covered about 1/4th of the entire map. The game is said to take about 20-30h storywise or about 70-80 if you go for everything, and I while I don't know exactly how far along I am, I am just having so much fun living the Hogwarts life as my own student, that I don't care how long I am taking. I mean you can fast travel between fireplaces, but what's the fun in that? Hogwarts has faithfully been recreated down to the smallest detail, so I wanna experience it by walking everywhere - I AM a Hufflepuff afterall, know for our patience and dedication.
The book is called the Sorcerer's Stone, but in the States it's officially called the Philosopher's Stone because religious groups would be on their asses because Wizards are enemies of God and Harry Potter is evil because you don't make warlocks into heroes and blah blah blah blah blah. TL;DR Religious idiots hate Harry Potter
Yeah, it was released as the Sorcerer's Stone instead of the Philosopher's Stone in the U.S. Not sure why. Probably had something to do with religion or...something.
David Vaughn It's because apparently sorcerer sounds more exciting and Americans don't know what the fuck a philosopher is. And that's very true XD probably anyway. Or they can't pronounce philosopher or have trouble pronouncing it. Like laura Croft Changed to Lara and americans STILL GET IT WRONG! ESPECIALLY JOE
If they ever decide to make a GOOD game for Harry Potter (hopefully an RPG), I think it should be based on the novel series rather than the movies. It would have a more fleshed out lore and more NPCs and side quests etc...
Some of the games do use a mixture of elements from books and films, sometimes with some new ideas thrown in. IIRC 3 on the PC even features Peeves and you get to battle with him.
surprised no one has created a Harry Potter RPG yet. You start as a student in your first year just grow up as a hogwarts student
Omfg yes, imagine if they remastered the Quidditch World Cup game
that would be amazing (but not an mmorpg since while it would be cool the spells wouldn't work)
Make it like mass effect.
Nagifan7496 How about they make it original and not base it on any other games
I want the ability to use the unforgivable curses on other players
A Harry Potter RPG... has potential.
Honestly, it would be extremely interesting if it had mechanics centered around class attendance, being absent, getting searched for by Filch, the teachers, the ghosts, etc. that progresses as you play.
It seems like the best way to do the spells would be to have some happen in real time in and out of action sequences (like using Lumos to light your way in the dark, then switching it off so you can escape when an enemy sees you) while others (like Alohemora) are situationally active, and others (such as Imperio) are accessed through dialogue trees.
It would also be cool if you could level certain abilities at different rates, to accomodate different play styles, and make the whole game beatable for each playstyle.
Like an Alohemora specialist could walk into Gringott's and walk out with enough money to sink a galleon, then bribe their way to the top. Stuff like that.

I thought Prisoner of Azkaban was really good when I was a kid, Exploration, puzzles, bunch of cool spells and decent combat. And flying around on Hippogriff was pretty cool.
+AzureKite619 man can you help me,i had a harry potter game when i was young and you had to go to class,develop skills,fly around ,basically bully but with harry potter and i cant remember the name of the game because i want to paly it again now
+AzureKite619 I played that when I was little, too!
I just despised those nighttime sections. They sp00ked me.
+AzureKite619 I played the first 3 with a girl I was crushing on at the time. They were quite fun to play.
+AzureKite619 Hell yeah Prisoner of Azkaban was a lot of fun. The puzzles really frustrated the kid in me lol. The Harry Potter games on Ps2 were quite decent. They actually put some effort in them.
+RuiRuichi the last good one to me was order of the phenoix, it was pretty bad ass with a decent open world and spells....goblet of fire on ps2 was hit and miss in some sections, 3 was fun as hell, wish i still had it honestly, 2 was ok, not as good as 3 and i dont remember much of 1 on the ps1
Joe you shouldn't judge an entire series of games by just playing two in the series. Especially if your playing the games that aren't representative of most of them.
Most of the games 1-3, 5-6 are open world games set at Hogwarts castle. Where there are plenty of things to do. Such as doing side missions, finding secrets, and exploring the castle with the spells you learn throughout the game. Additionally in 1-3 there was a house point system in place. Doing things good for the school such as winning quittich matches, and doing well in certain side activities earned your house points. However doing activities considered bad by the school such as being caught by prefects past curfew or in restricted sections of the school would cause your house to lose points. At the end of the game, regardless of how well you completed the main plot you could still lose the house cup.
I haven't played it all the way,but 4 seemed like a top down shooting gallery and i didn't like that. However the other games in the series excluding 4 and both 7s are generally good games to me.
In 2 you could free fly on Harry's nimbus 2000 around the Hogwarts's grounds.
In 3 you could play as Harry, Ron, and Hermione each with their own special abilities. In 5 they introduced a new system of spell casting where instead of hitting a button to cast a spell you would have to move the analogue sticks in certain configurations, and in dueling EVERY spell was useful in some way. Spamming stupefy or any spell that matter in a duel would get you disarmed and beat fast.(on the Ps2 version)
In 6 they expanded on that spell casting system, and refined the dueling even more. They also added several mini games such as potion making which was challenging, but the challenge didn't come from unresponsive controls (at least not on the wii)
I couldn't speak for any of the spin off games other than Quittach world cup (which i thought was fun with friends), but I'd say over all the harry potter series of games is mostly good with a few bad apples in the mix.
Btw your memory charms are horrible angry joe.
1-3 and 5-6 are great and i completely agree with u. 3 is my absolute favorite. Quidditch world cup was fun but the load times were unbearable
JoeMomma81 I own 2 and 3. However, I cannot get past the part where you have to fight the hinkypunks after you get Lumos Duos. During the mission where you're trying to save Neville.

Call of Magic: Black Hallows starring Alex Potter and Ron Woods
The spell that Joe used on other Joe. Expellramus shittygamus was perfect. I was laughing so hard
The first 3 are pretty fun, with unique story lines and really fun free roam. You can play quiditch, and in the third, you can fly around the entire Hogwarts Ground on a broom.
4th one sucks
+John Smith I used to play that all the time in freeroam.
+Richard Lundström it's great XD
+John Smith it wasn't a broom it was buckbeak
+Mohsen "Ⓥicious" Abasi I stopped at Goblet of Fire, it changed too much
First 3 HP games were pretty fun action adventure games
The 4th one was really shit
The 5th and 6th one were decent open world games
gogolplex74 True.
gogolplex74 harry potter 5 and 6 are the best :D
I liked 4, when you're playing with a friend it's fun. 5 and 6 were my absolute favorite, I really wish some company could get the license to all these games and release them all on one disc or something, similar to the Megaman Legacy collection, that way I can play them again.
Don't forget the GBA games. Those were surprisingly good too.
PS1 Hagrid is my waifu
Is there something wrong with me? I have seen this like 50 times and still coming back to rewatch it again and again lol
Some of the old Angry Joe videos are comfort videos that I come back to every now and then throughout the years :)
@@HotelMari0Maker I feel the same way about his videos and I just recently started watching him too lol😅 that RAMBO review is beautiful LMAO "he's a man not a god!" Ever since then I've been binging all his videos haha
Hearing David Dramen singing "Stupify" at high speed is, surprisingly, one of the funniest things I've heard in a looong time.
I was a sick child. I used to throw boulders at hermione's head until she died. I swear it was the funniest shit XD
Well, it's at least 5/10, if you can kill Hermione xD.
'Stupefy'? I wonder what ever happened to the classic 'Flipendo' from the earlier movies?
+Lewis Wilkinson That's a knockback jinx, I don't think any death eater would be like: "Oh no I fell on my butt, yup better run away now"
Odd thing is, Flipendo was just made up from the first HP game. It's never been mentioned in any movie or book, from what I know.

angry joe would be even MORE ANGRY if he knew the old games WERE GOOD and the series was butchered.
Games 1,2,3 and 5 were the only ones worth a damn to me.
4 sucked like a lot
i agree lol. i thought 5 was pretty good with having to actually have to use patterns for spells
I thought the quidditch world cup game was cool back in the day.
5 & 6 did it for me. I can't bring myself to play DH Part 2, though. But I don't care much now. Thanks Joe! :)
+Katen Barnard The only thing good about 5 was Hogwarts. 4 was linear as hell, but at least the combining spells mechanic was interesting, and it was fun to try and complete. But yeah, 1-3 were definitely the best (except for 2 GBA version, fuck that game)
17:58 ANGRY JOE LITERALLY PREDICTED AN UPCOMING GAME!! NOW THERE IS A NEW HARRY POTTER RPG GAME. HOGWARTS LEGACY!!!!!!
This was not the Harry Potter review from Angry Joe I was expecting to see in my YT feed this week.
Actually, 'muggleborn' was the rather polite way of saying it, the real bad word was 'mudblood', as shown in the clip
gruu baa - I know your response was over a year ago but anyways: he doesn't say muggleborn is bad. He shows the clip then says how that's a bad word in the universe (meaning mudblood).

Worst 50 minutes of my LIFE.
Chartels 30 minutes of which are spent on Emma Watson waving a glow stick until the janitor unlocks the door for her.
Actually the older games are much better, I think you would enjoy them.

The later games don't do any justice to the first three.

Damn these videos were classics. Glad to see Joe still making videos to this date!
What I want to see, an epic RPG taking place during the first Wizard War with Voldemort as a character that you create yourself. Dialogue choices that affect the story in some way (there's so much room to work with here, we only know bits of the first war). Maybe the finale is a big ass duel with Voldemort and it's an unwinnable fight or maybe you can win by surviving until Dumbledore shows up to save your ass and you get a good ending where you survive until the 2nd Wizard War and it could be a Red Dead Redemption type ending where Voldemort shows up after his return to take you down personally. You send your family off into hiding because it's you he wants and go outside to be insta-killed.
Imagine a game where you're trying to recruit various factions to go against Voldemort, factions who might have a reason to not want to help you. That shit would be awesome. You get new weapons in the form of new wands and maybe the reward for beating the game on the hardest difficulty or getting 100% is access to the Elder Wand which trounces everybody.
Now you know how Avatar Fans felt with the Last Airbender movie..
don't even that movie was a Fuckin disgrace I just watched it to laugh at the whole thing but the first time I practically cried over it and definitely when it takes 5 earth benders and 10 hand movements to lift one boulder and that was where I left it
Lycan Ferret Awhile ago, Joe reviewed the Last Airbender moive, and wonder if the anime was good or not. Now i'm commenting to say this is how fans of the anime felt when the moive came out badly, way worse actually lol
Micheal Taylor it was worse imagine your favorite show at the time get's turned into a joke when they could make it amazing they give you trash like with this harry potter game although I could understand if they had little money on the budget but still make it seem like you tried it's just as horrible as the play the Avatar gang went to even the DB movie they made sucked I mean really piccolo looks like THAT and the fights are BS.(I could rant on and on but I feel more like listening to Disturbed)
Lycan Ferret I don't need to imagine it,because I already seen it. Eversince I was younger ,I use to watch avatar series and loved the entire series. . .I grew up kinda with the show so I know :( Im just giving Joe a compression >.

every harry potter games before these are better.
except the fourth one
Especially Chamber of Secrets both PS1 & PS2 versions. Owned both of those and I still love them.
which ones the 4th one? the half blood prince?
goblet of fire
Maddragon 5th one is awesome
Who’s here after watching Angry Joe Hogwarts Legacy review?
Who else is watching this, in celebration of the release of "Hogwarts Legacy?"
I'm a firm believer that Chamber of Secrets had the best PS2 game
I preferred the PC version. Didn't stop me from enjoying the PS2 version.
I liked Chamber of secrets, probably the most RPG any of the Harry Potter games had.
yes also harry potter 5 game was pretty cool or 6
yea i remaber that game on PS 1 awesome game
Harvey Treharne it was on ps1 ps2 game cube and pc but the pc and ps1 versions were drastically different from the other 2
Harvey Treharne Play Chamber of Secrets,i loved it.
accept for the consoles fetch quest spam i hated that and the first 3 on the pc were freaking awesome
I'll have a whole new respect for Joe if he reviews/streams Hogwarts Legacy, you know exactly why.
I have the old HP Chamber of Secrets for the Game Cube and played the 3rd one. I remember enjoying those because you could actually go to classes.

+Pajdo Velicanstveni They had a harry potter RPG for the Game Boy Colour of all things, one of my favorite games of all time, i just beat it for the x time a few days ago.
+Pajdo Velicanstveni EA. that's why.
The first three HP games very actually very enjoyable. There were decent combat, story and even side missions where you could find bits and pieces of lore. Ultimately, if I remember correctly the soundtrack in Hogwarts was absolutely awesome. I know that the nostalgia forces me to overlook certain cons, yet I would recommend the first three games to any HP fan. :)
I think this review got me thinking of the possibilities that could have been explored if the game followed the events that happened at the school during the events of Deathly Hallows part 1. imagine seeing what the new teachers and classes are like and talking to students and getting their opinion on everything. Imagine how a first year student would feel as this would be their first year in training and thus their first impression, then imagine how a returning student would feel about the school being taken over. The Deathly Hallows book mentioned the fact Defense against the Dark Arts class got changed to Dark Arts I'm curious as to how this idea was never explored.
I loved prisoner of askaban on PS2

They should make a RPG game, that follows the storyline of all 7 books. You follow the entire plot and storyline of every books, and all the unimportent subplots is sidequests, like the birthday party for the no headed ghost in book 2 is a little sidequest. That could be a very good and long game, if the gameplay is topnotch. They could allso split it in 2 so the first game is book 1-4 and the second is 5-7 that would be awesome.
Chamber of Secrets on the GBC and Prisoner of Azkaban on the GBA were RPG styled. They followed the books and movies rather close. Chamber of Secrets even had Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party as well as Quidditch.
The sad thing is EA made all of the Harry Potter games (as far as I know) and all of the previous games (Half-Blood Prince down) were good. EA is just becoming a garbage company, I suppose.
I 💜 videogames!
prisoner of azkaban for the GBA was rpg like

so true . i still remember playing harry potter and the sorceres stone , looking for secrets and playing some quidditch. or playing the world quidditch tournament game itself wich was also awesome . i do wish that another company would take over for these games and remake them to be actualy awesome
Back then HP games weren't movie lincensed. The evil began with the fourth game.
Even on GBA was pretty good.
@@darthportus 5 and 6 were both much better than 4.
I wish the "Angry Joe and the Harry Potter Games" thing became a series. Would be nice for Joe to do a whole series in episodes or something.
He just had way too many games to come back to what had kinda been a defunct gaming franchise.

15:26 Remember. Switching spells is faster than reloading.
I do apologise for sounding rude but don't judge earlier installments of a series by the newest ones. The earlier Harry Potter games were actually fun, had challenges and side missions, and weren't basically Call of Duty: Magical Warfare.
Note that by earlier Harry Potter games, I meant Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. Goblet of Fire was a piece of shit and I haven't played any of the others yet
Order of the Phoenix was pretty good.
LitithsClaptrap
Never played it
Scootaboom Studios Personally I loved the first 3 games, they were childish, sure, but they had the HP charm. These games, and even the last 4 movies.... ehh.
Péter Szabó I loved one and two, though the voice acting in the first game was horrendous
HP 5 and 6 are also quite fun
HP games:
1 - I rented it once as a kid, can't really remember it.
2 - Very good. Introduced the free-roam system to the series and had a cool, almost RPG-like atmosphere. Even better for a kid.
3 - Amazing, I have very fond memories of it. Expanded on both elements of 2.
4 - Sucked. Way different from 2 & 3, very linear.
5 - A great breath of life. Brings back the "open-school" style, with improved graphics and bigger stories.
6+ I never played....for obvious reasons.
I still think positively of the HP series of games for, along with the book/movies, for introducing me to the fantasy genre and being fun games to boot.
As Joe said, a full Harry Potter RPG would be really cool. Maybe someday...
HP3 on the PS2 was absolutely mind blowingly good. In fact, I think i'm gonna jump on JJgames and buy a copy since my last one broke.
Do that! I may play my copy sometime in the near future.
6 was good. very good. its the only one that I played. I'd give it 7/10. maybe an 8 for its age. played it on PS2. its RPG open-world in hogwarts.
Actually there are Harry potter RPG's for the Gameboy color. I can highly recommend them for at least one play thru.
1 was pretty much a simpler version of 2.
I hope he reviews Hogwarts legacy!!!
The way Joe closed the box perfectly in less than a second was impressive
actually the 1-6 games are OK, loved them when i was child
first 3 were great! The fourth was TERRIBLE! because they changed the format from open world to missions but they changed it back and the fifth and sixth were great games.
Don't understand the hate for the 4th, that one was good. Just not as good.
I actually have a sweet tooth for the 4th game, it isn't my favorite in the series at all, but it was really cool! my favorite has to be the 5th, 2nd favorite is the 1st
I’m sorry have you played the broken and horribly designed mess that was Goblet of Fire?
@@kaijucifer3544 It was done very poorly and the characters looked awful! Ron looked like he was a tomato in Goblet of Fire!
the older games are more fun than this.
A lot of older stuff are better then the new ones in this generation apparently, which is rather sad. Not because of the "nostalgia" bull crap, but because things like video games actually do play better then the new ones. That's not to say that they're all terrible or anything, but it just feels like that the more stuff come in, the more bland and stupid that they get. And this pretty much goes out for everything else in entertainment as well. I hope that one day, we will get decent movie licensed games again, and not crap like these, Iron Man 2, Battlefield, Thor, Green Lantern, Amazing Spider-Man 2, etc.
The older games are great.
+Flatbaby i only played the first game and it is better than this piece of shit. Fucking unbelievable...
Battlefields is not a movie
Grew up with the first three harry potter games. Damn they were good at world building and atmosphere when it came to Hogwarts and wizard card collecting. 3 was the personal fav because the gameplay was the most polished at that point (not to mention third year's story was dope for it) and you got to play as the three main characters throughout. I didn't even realize Jeremy Soule composed them but it makes sense with how memorable the music was.
The stupify music video killed me lmaooo
I loved the first few Harry Potter games as a kid. Just the fact I could explore Hogwarts was amazing to me.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban we're all awesome on PC as a kid. The console variations were a bit muddled and different from their PC counterparts but still solid. (I own the trilogy on PS2.) But PC was where it was at. I loved those games as a kid.
Same here!!!
Same. The 3 old ones were good on PC.
FlickFlag Productions same
There was something magical about those games to me. The characters, the voice acting, the music, and the castle. Those three games were amazing.
FlickFlag Productions Here, here!
Came back to watch this while waiting for Joe to review Hogwarts Legacy.
I played the first three Harry Potter games when I was a kid, I really enjoyed them. The second one especially. It was like an open world game. You got to explore Hogwarts and the Hogwarts grounds. You attended classes and learned new useful spells that allowed you to access new areas and get collectibles that you were't able to get before. You discovered hidden passage ways that were not part of the story, but were used for finding collectibles. The second and third game were this way. I vaguely remember the first game, but I don't remember if it was linear or open world.
I normally would completely agree with Joe, but here I just can't. You can't justify judging every game in a series based on two games. Harry Potter 1-3 were actually VERY good games. I honestly recommend playing them.
Yup. HP is like Spyro. Only the first 3 are any good :D
+AwesomeWinter I loved spyro but in the ps2 days!
The 6th was pretty cool too
+Kevin Jones only if I get them numbers first :)
Kevin Jones "I'm a really nice guy." - Kevin Jones
The EA games for Book/Movie 5 and 6 were *good* .. the fighting was kinda meh.. it did the job.
But you *explored* Hogwards, had classes, fights and you *did* get extra info, talk to the portrats, discover hidden pathways to sneak through the castle.. Hell I got lost half the time because Hogwarts felt *huuuuuge*! But they even took care of that "problem" by having you use the twins' Map, which showed you through little appearing footprints how to get to your destination the quickest, even taking into account secret shortcuts through portraits you already discovered!..
It was totally fine, although the fighting was kinda slow and underwhelming - *although* the spells all made sense. You had to make special movements with your controller sticks to perform desperately needed spells. Expelliarmus was almost impossible to hit, because the enemy would deflect it, worst case upon yourself! - But Expelliarmus would (like the freezing spell) *end* the fight in your favor. Why? because people can't fight if they are frozen, disarmed or if they are hooked into the air by their feet leaving them to just hang there. This made *sense* ! Also I seem to remember you could deflect spells back at the caster by perfectly timing your shield charm! Amazing the more I think about it^^
This/These last games are horrible.
agree with u mate...just loved the order of the phoenix...
4-7 was horrible yeah with 5 and 6 you can explore but you honestly didn't do anything but walk around the Hogwarts :( At least with the first 3 games when you explored you could do side missions that was actually fun!
that's kind of what made it so cool, to be there exploring the castle, and from the two of them, i like TOOTP more, they literally took the blueprints made by Jo Rowling herself, and built the entire castle as she envisioned it, for you to free explore it... it was awesome as f**k
Now in 2023 we get to see what a Wizarding World game can be without EA using it as a cash grab. Thank you Avalanche Games for doing the franchise right this time around.
I remember playing the first harry potter game when I was a kid and I liked it alot! Flying with broom, exploring the castle but that's all I remember. :)

still harry potter will never bee as good as the lord of the rings
I think they're equal
That opinion is a fact!
Evan Demas Opinions aren't facts.
Mine are bitch
I agree Lord Of The Rings is amazing Harry Potters alright but finished with it after the fourth movie
What on earth happened to the fantastic sense of adventure and brilliance that was manifest in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on ps2. That game was so fun, you could wander through Hogwarts at night with the oddly satisfying stealth mechanics; collecting wizard cards was actually fun and the fact that it didn't follow on perfectly from the movie, allowing you to explore the open and diverse world was a godsend. Whoever made that game needs to get back to working on the franchise because although I played that game as a child, I would play it again now. Fantastic!
I own 5 and 6 on the Wii, and both of those are actually pretty good. 5 is more like the Lego series versions, where there are a variety of things to interact with and you are rewarded for finding and exploring everything. Hogwarts is pretty huge and is adapted from both the films and the real castle and sets.
6 looks better than 5 and the wizard duelling is much better, but the interactivity is greatly lowered.
I did enjoy the more creative made-up versions of Hogwarts present in earlier games, but 5 and 6 were both great adaptations of the films.
I know, right? I totally agree. But the pc version of chamber of secrets is a lot better than the ps2 one. Give it a try :) you'll love it. It's very different than the ps2 one.
Portalguy1000
I recently played through my box set of the first three PC games and I'd say the second is the best overall.
You can see potential in the first, and oddly enough its most challenging elements (learning spells and Quidditch) are its most endearing aspects, but it's poor in most other ways.
The second has a lot to explore, plus now you can actually redo most challenges and explore freely, which the first sorely lacked.
The third looks the best and is nice in that it includes Hermione and Ron as playable characters, but has less content than 2.
Portalguy1000 Perhaps I'll pick it up if I get the chance. Why is it better, may I ask?
***** Well, it's different than the PS2 version and it's a different version of the same game, but with different levels, spells, design etc.
2:30 the sound Joe makes had me in stitches for at least 10 minutes xD
13:02 "Don't worry, I'll open the door."

The sorcerers stone game was really REALLY good.
It was just a carbon copy of the gamecube/ps2/Xbox versions of Chamber of Secrets though.
Andrew Shaw How can a game that came out a year before be a copy of a game that came out a year later?
José Cuesta Well, I kind of assumed he meant the 6th gen version, but thinking about it now he might have meant the ps1 version, which was pretty good. However, the Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2 versions of Sorcerer's Stone came out in 2003, a year after Chamber of Secrets.
Yes I was referring to the PS1 game, GODDAMN that game was da shit!
ryukishifan0396 Yeah I liked it. It's actually pretty fun despite a bit of hand holding.
Trust me, there have been lots of other crappy Harry Potter games, but 1,2,3 and 5 were great
I agree with 1, 2, and 3, but 5 was bad.
Dipper723 why? It has great graphics and you can still walk around Hogwarts and discover secrets. It's pretty much the same thing.
Order of the Phoenix is too easy. There was absolutely no challenge. I prefer to play games with challange in them, I don't like game where you can just waltz through in a couple of hours.
It's so fun going back and watching angry AngryJoe's review
After 12 years you said you want Harry Potter RPG and now Hogwarts legacy has been dreamed come true!!
fly off to the right and explode, fly off to the right and explode. Oh wait.. wrong review
I've only played Harry Potter 5 & 6 on the Wii and I gotta say Joe, they were pretty awesome games. You could explore Hogwarts in an open world setting with cool wand dueling mechanics. So I can't believe you called all the other games a waste of money with one fell swoop.
no1ymfan1 Truth.
That is true. The only hp games that I thought were complete trash were the games in this review and goblet of fire.
Hell ya
Clover 147 Goblet of Fire on game boy is the worst thing ever.
A Harry Potter RPG or MMO would be awesome, open world, you choose to join 1 of 4 houses, participate with others houses/players, playing quidditch, triwizard event, raiding dungeon in dark wood, etc. It has so much potential
11 years later we finally have the Harry Potter RPG that Joe requested... and it is fking AWESOME!!! I am 26h in currently, and I have only covered about 1/4th of the entire map. The game is said to take about 20-30h storywise or about 70-80 if you go for everything, and I while I don't know exactly how far along I am, I am just having so much fun living the Hogwarts life as my own student, that I don't care how long I am taking. I mean you can fast travel between fireplaces, but what's the fun in that? Hogwarts has faithfully been recreated down to the smallest detail, so I wanna experience it by walking everywhere - I AM a Hufflepuff afterall, know for our patience and dedication.
Wait Americans call it the sorcerers stone
The book is called the Sorcerer's Stone, but in the States it's officially called the Philosopher's Stone because religious groups would be on their asses because Wizards are enemies of God and Harry Potter is evil because you don't make warlocks into heroes and blah blah blah blah blah.
TL;DR Religious idiots hate Harry Potter
Yeah, it was released as the Sorcerer's Stone instead of the Philosopher's Stone in the U.S. Not sure why. Probably had something to do with religion or...something.
Dragonslammer Dunkstein You have it backwards. It's the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S.
David Vaughn It's because apparently sorcerer sounds more exciting and Americans don't know what the fuck a philosopher is. And that's very true XD probably anyway. Or they can't pronounce philosopher or have trouble pronouncing it. Like laura Croft Changed to Lara and americans STILL GET IT WRONG! ESPECIALLY JOE
VikingPotatoes Read Dragonslammer's comment
If they ever decide to make a GOOD game for Harry Potter (hopefully an RPG), I think it should be based on the novel series rather than the movies. It would have a more fleshed out lore and more NPCs and side quests etc...
Ive only played the second game when i was a kid, and i believe it was a RPG game. and it was in my opinion great.
hmm, would you recommend it to me if it's available on Steam? :)
Not on steam. sorry
Some of the games do use a mixture of elements from books and films, sometimes with some new ideas thrown in. IIRC 3 on the PC even features Peeves and you get to battle with him.
POA on gameboy advanced is an rpg, as well as COS and SS on the gameboy color
12:21 To put that into perspective, by the time I was finished with Middle Earth: Shadow Of War, I had clocked some 78.2 hours into the game.
He just have legacy a 10/10. So happy he finally got the game he wanted
