Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the Game Boy Advance not only gives players the opportunity to experience firsthand every major scene from the book, it also happens to be a darn good role-playing game in its own right. Electronic Arts has transformed the places and events from the third Harry Potter book into an engrossing team-oriented, turn-based RPG.The various classrooms and locations in and around Hogwarts have been turned into traditional role-playing-style dungeons. There are plenty of creatures lurking around, and when you walk up to one of them, the viewpoint shifts so that Harry, Ron, and Hermione can battle the monsters as a team.Each character has his or her individual set of spells and special skills, and they can carry around equipment and items that'll improve their defense or replenish their health and magic points. The entire point of the game is to level up the characters and upgrade their equipment so that they can make it to the final confrontation with the man that betrayed Harry's parents all those years ago. Experience earned in battle automatically improves a character's defense and magic resistance; money can be used to buy clothing and armor and you can learn stronger variations of basic spells by using them repeatedly.
To be fair the game was made a long time ago and for the GBA now there is the DSI!
Overall if if have something that can play GBA games i would slap it on to your play list and give it a go!
