Grabbing the Snitch doesn't mean you win, Ryan. The team just gets 150 points and the game ends. The Quidditch World Cup in book 4 ended with the losing team grabbing the snitch. Jeez.

Less than 2 minutes in and this is already fantastic.

EDIT: This actually seems like reasonable fan service, apart from that end of year 1 being way easier than it was in the book. Does rush through the story very rapidly though, which is a shame. Also Kinect still pretty janky at times.

This, but wearing the FREE Goku hair that comes supplied with the game, at all times.

Or just do a DBZ Kinect quick look. We need to find out what the GB Team's power level is.

Wonder if this has the great death/defeated screams from the bad wizards from the last 360 game in the franchise with kinect. They really could have done better than the vague screenshots to tell the story in this.

Ryan's comment about being the most apathetic wizard makes me want to see an actual story about a kid at a wizarding school who just DOES NOT want to be there.

Of all the games released this has been the most hardcore game so far. As a core hardcore gamer i heartily recommend this game to other core hardcore gamers.

Snape sounds like Ted's Bill Cosby impression.

Ryan, you get 150 points when you grab the snitch, so it's possible to lose why the fuck am I writing this no one gives a shit.

@HappyCheeze: Yep. I assume they would have had to chose custom mode at the beginning. Vinny could have been a fucking wizard.

It seems a shame nobody has made a good game for the license. How hard is it to take the great settings and world building done by the books, mix 2 parts "Bully" to one part "Skyrim" and call it a fucking hit?

I wonder when people are going to stop pretending Harry Potter was ever any good and realize having only read one fucking series of books does not mean that series is the best thing ever. And it doesn't count if the other books you've read are Star Wars novels or Where Is My Nose.
