I have played Phil's game, and like it quite a bit.
And I still refuse to beware the Grue!

Have you played Sarah from pcs games? In terms of accessible harry potter
games that is very much first on the list.
Regarding other games, there is a legend of the green dragon mod based
around harry potter called hogwarts live. Gameplay seemed pretty standard
for Logd, fight monsters in the forbidden forest with a wand until your
tough enough to take on lord voldemort, but it had characters from the
books and a couple of extra mechanics like school houses and house
points.
I've heard of a couple of forum based rp games, one called hogwarts
extreme for example, but those are basically role play only with little to
no mechanics.
In general myself I still think Sarah is the best theme for a game and
likely the best model for one either, play a game specific character and
explore the hp world, rather than trying to emulate one of the books
completely since the books are as much about the investigation, the
mystery and the character as the magic, monsters and combat.
That's why I tend to think much as with a startrek or Doctor who game
you'd be better with a game set around! the potter universe rather than
one with specific game characters. for example, how about an exploration
action game in which you played an official working for the department for
the regulation and control of magical creatures and were tasked (possibly
with the assistance of Hagrid, grorp, fang, firense and dobby), with
wandering through the forests and mountains around hogwarts castle (and
maybe the lake too), looking for the various creatures such as giants,
magically controlled snakes and dementors which Voldemort used in his
army, (perhaps along with any hiding death eaters), and having to either
stun or remove them as a threat.
That would be the perfect setting for an exploration action game, say
either another fps like Sarah or even a side scroller, and yet would be
quite fine within the hp universe and not require something as ridiculous
as having harry traverse levels of jumps and crazy traps.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

I know that there is a thread dealing with Harry Potter muds, but I am not
into muds, so I have not been following that thread. Anyone know of any
accessible games that deal with the Harry Potter series?
