Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

★★★☆☆

Personally is my least favorite so far.. projected bad, and executed even worse! The game starts at the Pensieve where you have to choose your level, and every once in a while you’ll unblock some further areas by completing the previous one.

What I don’t like is that the game doesn’t have a logical connection in the middle.. One minute you’re at Hogwarts and one second later you’re in the Dark Forest, doing absolutely NOTHING.

In the game you’ll have to collect beans which will allow you to buy special power-up cards for Harry, Ron and Hermione. That’s right in this game you will have the opportunity to play as one of the Golden Trio, but not in the same mode of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

As you play along the other two will help you in your task, and collect beans as well. To defeat some creatures, or to move some objects you’ll have to collaborate with them. When you select you character pay attention to the cards you are equipping they with, as some cards will help you in some tasks rather than others.

Each level is composed by several parts, and every time you complete a level you unblock a part of it. This means that in order to complete the whole, you have to replay the same level all over again for some times. You’ll see it is completed because it will appear in the principal menu.

Unblocking parts of the levels allow you to collect everything you need to reach the 100% of the games, which are:

  • -Mini Triwizard Shields – 10 to collect during the level
  • -Triwizard Shields – When you catch it the level ends (so be careful to walk through it only when you’ve done everything you wanted to.)
  • -Dark Detectors
  • -Vanishing Cards – (Really hard to catch , if they vanish you have to reload the level)
  • -Dragon Statue
  • -Mushroom
  • -Taps – They get easily concealed with the surroundings, pay attention.
  • -Shovels

And yes if you’re wondering, you need to face the Triward Tasks :

1st Task

In the first task you’ll have to flee from the dragon, flying on your broom through a designed path. If you manage to catch the blue circles you’ll increase your speed. The faster you reach the end, the higher will be your score.

2nd Task

In the 2nd task you’ll have to go through the Dark Lake to find Ron, here too you’ll have booster to increase your speed. Here and there you’ll have to stun mermaids, and grindylows. About the mermaids in particular, be careful if you don’t stun them in time, they’ll eat your Gillyweed.

Follow the Grindylows, and try to catch all the Gillyweeds to reach the end in the shortest time possible. (Honestly this one is the one that I troubled the most with).

Lastly, try to find the road in the maze in the shortest time possible to reach the cup. Watch out for the ramping plants.

After the cup you’ll have to face Voldemort, try to defeat him using what you find around in the cemetery.


In conclusion, what I didn’t like about this game is the confusion.. it’s confusionary, you jump from a level to another without much of a connection. The story of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is so cool, it deserved way better. Let me know in the comment if you’ve played (or if you will), and if you liked it!

Anyway don’t desperate because you need to brace yourself fore a really quality jump, and I wasn’t ready either.
