Hot bangers, if it isn't my favorite Quick Look duo, Vincent Caravella and Ryan Davis. I don't know what I'd do without those two.

At just under an hour, this quick look is about half the length of the actual movie this game is based off of.

Watching the Ryan+Vinny Quicklook after several Brad+Vinny QLs... makes me realize that Brad is kind of fucking boring and not fun to watch play games. Less Brad in QLs please... or at least let Vinny play.

Wash away all charms, instantly have access to them again.

I really want to watch all 53 minutes of this, Ryan and Vinny love these games so much but 53 minutes?! It's tough but I know I can procrastinate enough if I try!

The mention of the submachinegun wand just threw images in my head of a heavy MG version where you have a wand with a bipod on it. Game doesn't look too bad for a thing to rent & tear through on a weekend. At least they kept in the bad enemy screams from the previous game. 
 
I do think that with the magical rentacop theory (and the NPCs complaining about being rentacops), nazi wizards & other questions posed in the QL would have made the game much more interesting if it was part of the game.

The mechanics of these games is deceptively smart. They've slowly brought all the Harry Potter kids from a lil adventure to third person shooters. Now EA says go buy Dead Space!

Harry Potter is a tactical third person shooter!  Squad up, charlie-mike on six!
More games should have "Nazi Wizards".   All-in-all, I guess the game is good for kids not allowed to play COD or Gears.

Another great Harry Potter quick look. These games always manage to be decent enough, but still dumb in a good comedic way.

I know jack shit about Harry Potter, but why don't they mount those magic wands into guns and fire the shit out of them? Much better than carrying a fucking stick. It's a rhetorical question. I really don't want to know jack shit about Harry Potter.

"The first harry potter movie was all about magic and wonder and shit, like this is clearly its evolved way past that."
OK Ryan, cause you know a movie video game is truly evolving when it turns into a shitty third person shooter, Jesus.

Technology doesn't work in most magical places.  The jokes of "why don't they just bring a gun" are funny, but sort of silly when compared to what magic can do to you.  Magic is much more deadly, but only the villians use the killing spells because it's a kid's series.

Vinny's throw-away comment of "They look like Nazi wizards" made me wish for a historical wizard game. That'd be bad-ass.

It's not a bad game at all from what I've played, just... not great, either. After awhile, you start to ask yourself if you really want to keep playing a second-rate Gears just because it's Harry Potter.  Still, you can do a lot worse with a tie-in game.
