Dear fans, I am under the weather today, because I begin thinking, that out beloved Harry Potter and books about him are just a successful marketing idea and strategy. More and more teens, children and even adults are getting involved into Harry Potter games. As for me, I am not a supporter of video games, although their developing effect is undoubted. I still can understand, when children are playing a game with their favourite TV star, thus, their logical abilities, mind, memory and some other qualities are improving, but, very often these games can lead to obsession and in such a case it is better to read books or to watch movies.

But, nevertheless, I will write about Harry Potter video game and tell some main points of it. So, let’s take, for example, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban it is both a computer and a video game (date of release: 2004).

Plot of the game:

Three best friends: Harry, Ron and Hermiona found out that a very dangerous man, named Sirius Black, a runner from the Wizarding prison, Azkaban, and is going to kill Harry Potter. The friends are creating spells in order to confront Black. But everything is not so simple, Black killed 13 people and there is a real murderer Peter Pettigrew, and he is hiding in Ron’s pet rat, Scabbers. But, I won’t tell you the rest of game, otherwise, it will have no interest for you…

In this game you can choose a player. You can be:

• Harry – he can jump and runs quicker than the others. In the course of game he achieves a map;
• Hermiona – she is able of crawling and creating spells;
• Ron – he used to learn one spell;

Good luck!
