Warner Bros. didn't stop at turning the Harry Potter books into a series of movies. They also adapted the series to video games, originally via movie tie-in games developed by Electronic Arts.The earliest Harry Potter games were realized as typical Action-Adventure games with the usual tropes of Inexplicable Treasure Chests, Rewarding Vandalism, Bottomless Pits, Floating Platforms, and so forth. Almost exclusively playing as Harry, you learn spells from the teachers to get through the Malevolent Architecture of Hogwarts and win Boss Battles. Along the way, you collect goodies — mainly Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and collectible wizard cards — while vaguely drifting through the canon storyline. Rather cartoony animation and cheesy voice acting also figured in.As the EA Potter games went along, the graphics became more photo-realistic until they reached the point where they started using digital scans of the actors. Hogwarts as well gradually evolved from not particularly looking anything like the castle of the films to being a seamless duplication of it. Some of the actors from the movies, mostly the cheaper ones (though Ralph Fiennes is a notable exception), were eventually brought in to voice their characters for the games. Out of the central trio, Rupert Grint has voiced his character for the games, but Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have not. The format also changed into more of a Wide-Open Sandbox with various Mini Games such as dueling other students, playing Quidditch, and brewing potions. Finally, the Deathly Hallows games (two to go with the two movies) shifted the gameplay into more of a Third-Person Shooter.After Warners had smashing success developing video games based on some of their other IP in-house (including Lord of the Rings and Batman) throughout the 2010s, they decided to stop licensing. In 2012 and 2013, they released two Augmented Reality games that use the PlayStation 3's Wonderbook peripheral. In 2017, they created a subsidiary called Portkey Games solely dedicated to this franchise. These games are considered non-canon. Its projects include mobile games like Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery and an open world RPG called Hogwarts Legacy. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: You think the movies were bad about keeping the layout of Hogwarts consistent? Well, the games are worse. The earlier ones went so far as to have different platforms for the same game each include a completely different version of Hogwarts. The fifth game adopts the movie version of Hogwarts, attempting to smooth over the films' Geographic Flexibility. The sixth game reuses the Hogwarts of the fifth game with some areas added and others removed. | |

You ALL Look Familiar: The background students in the earlier games. They had one or two pairs of male and female students per house duplicated endlessly. And everyone looks like they're the same age as Harry — older students only exist when they're named characters. | |

Multiple-Tailed Beast: There are several references to the Gytrash, which are ghostly dogs with forked tails. The gytrash is a creature in English folklore, though only the Harry Potter games describe it with a forked tail. Could be a Composite Character with the Crup, which is, in the books, described as being "indistinguishable from a Yorkshire Terrier, except for its forked tail". | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex machina: The games differ on how they adapt the traditional year-end "200 points from Dumbledore for being the main characters" bit. Some of them calculate the scores fairly, and if the last-minute points aren't enough to win the Cup, then you don't win the Cup. Others rig the scores so that Gryffindor is guaranteed to be in last place before Dumbledore steps in, and in first afterward. And then there is the PS2 version of Philosopher's Stone, in which, instead of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville earning a total of 170 points, Dumbledore awards Harry, Ron and Hermione 10 points each. 10 points for defeating Voldemort himself. Thanks, Dumbledore. | |

Kleptomaniac Hero: Harry and co. in all games, collecting every Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, collector card, etc. that is loose. You can even steal beans from Dumbledore's office or grab a wizard card straight from some unlucky Gryffindor's chest! Taken to extreme with Ron in the third home console game, where he can find false walls as well as extract hidden beans and other valuables from bookcases. The game has several rooms practically lined with bookcases. You do the math. | |

In the first two PC games, or at least the second, you can climb to the very top of the Grand Staircase and jump off, gleefully killing Harry or, if you have max health and have all the Wizard Cards, almost kill him. In the third, you can always drop Ron down "bottomless pits" (in several of them you can actually see the bottom if you just look down) or send Harry flying off the edge of ice slides. And then there are the gnomes and the imps… with the gnomes, you hex them and then throw them around (you can actually carry them around until the game gets rid of them for you if you wanted), and with the imps you throw exploding wizard crackers at them in the third game (previously used on you by Malfoy). Also, there's Peeves. | |

Zig-zagged with Harry; earlier games retained his green eyes from the books, but in later games which use digital scans of the film actors, he has Daniel Radcliffe's blue eyes. His hair is also dark brown rather than black in some games. | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: Some of the games contain elements from the books that were not in the films. Most notably, the first three games include Peeves fairly prominently, despite him being Adapted Out of the films. Considering these games were intended as film tie-ins, this is probably the unintentional result of the fact that the games and films were in production at the same time, and the game developers may not have known exactly what would and wouldn't be in the film version. Incidentally, the earlier games contain more book-only material, with the game series hewing closer and closer to the movie canon as it goes along. | |

Healing Potion | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_b7d85d68 | comment |
Healing Potion: Wiggenweld appears in various games, serving as one of these. Like some other potions such as Love Potion, how you make it depends on the game. | |

Magic Skirt: If you cast Levicorpus on a female student, she turns upside down in the air, with her skirt remaining down (up?) to protect her NPC dignity. | |

It's Up to You | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_cc374ba6 | comment |
It's Up to You: Ron and Hermione like to essentially say "You handle this, Harry — I'll do something inconsequential". The early games would have Harry (joined by Ron and Hermione in Prisoner of Azkaban) be sent by his teachers into a large, elaborate Zelda-esque dungeon for the sole purpose of testing out a new spell, while the rest of the students sit back and relax in the classroom (although the second and third games do imply that other students get to attempt these challenges at some point). | |

Take Your Time | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: Ron, Hermione, and various other characters are always telling you to hurry or you'll be late for the next class. Of course, you can take forever and you'll still arrive just on time. Inverted in the first PC game at one point: no matter how quickly you go to Potions, Snape always decides you're late. | |

Reformulated Game | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_d639cf57 | comment |
Reformulated Game: As was common with licensed games of the time coming out on as many systems as possible, each game had different versions tailored to different platforms. The first three games had separate versions for home consolesnote with the first two having different versions for PS1, and sixth generation consoles, handheld consolesnote again, the first two games had separate versions for Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, and PC. Starting with the fourth game they used the same version for consoles and PC while retaining (by necessity, of course) a distinct handheld version. | |

Weird Currency | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_d8fad039 | comment |
Weird Currency: Bertie Bott's Beans is the main currency at Hogwarts that you use to trade with Fred and George for stuff. Whose idea on the development team was it to use candy as money? It's revealed that the twins were using them to play a practical joke on Snape by burying him with beans in the first game, but it doesn't make it any less weird. And in the second and third game, the professors get in on the act by allowing students to visit a Bean Bonus Room. It gets even weirder in the third game, which adds Pumpkin Pasties and Cauldron Cakes into the mix. Averted in the first two GBC games and Prisoner of Azkaban on GBA, which use Sickles. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Not many people care about you randomly using spells for no reason. Shoot up a pot or a painting in front of some students or a teacher? Nothing. Levitate a desk or two and throw them around? Unless it's in a plot, nothing. | |

No Peripheral Vision: Downplayed with the prefects, Filch and teachers, who can generally see rather well around them. Played straight with the knights' armours, which can only see within a narrow, visible cone of vision. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": In the earlier games Harry only "faints" if he runs out of health (which is itself referred to as his "stamina"). Justified as magic lessons wouldn't be expected to involve mortal danger. Ultimately Downplayed though as terms like "die" and "kill" are used in other situations such as when fighting Voldemort (Die, Potter!) or as part of the narrative ("last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood girl died"). | |

And then there is the PS2 version of Philosopher's Stone, in which, instead of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville earning a total of 170 points, Dumbledore awards Harry, Ron and Hermione 10 points each. 10 points for defeating Voldemort himself. Thanks, Dumbledore. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In the fifth and sixth games, you can Wingardium Leviosa benches and toss them around in the air, meaning you can also throw them at people. In an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Emma Watson reported that her brother once vented his frustration with her by throwing benches at Hermione in the game (here's the clip). Starting with the home console games, since you have free will to cast spells. The reactions from various NPCs sure are entertaining when you Flip- their - endos! Partially invoked in the I'm Game For That fanfiction for the first game. In the Lego game, you can go around turning people into beetles, putting flowers on their heads, or, for giggles, if you choose to play as Voldemort, just blast everyone with Avada Kedavra. In the first two PC games, or at least the second, you can climb to the very top of the Grand Staircase and jump off, gleefully killing Harry or, if you have max health and have all the Wizard Cards, almost kill him. In the third, you can always drop Ron down "bottomless pits" (in several of them you can actually see the bottom if you just look down) or send Harry flying off the edge of ice slides. And then there are the gnomes and the imps… with the gnomes, you hex them and then throw them around (you can actually carry them around until the game gets rid of them for you if you wanted), and with the imps you throw exploding wizard crackers at them in the third game (previously used on you by Malfoy). Also, there's Peeves. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: In the first two PC games, it's possible to do this with some careful jumping. For example, the final puzzle in the "Sneak Up to the Tower" level can be completely bypassed, but at the beginning of the "Sneak Down" level the bridge has still rotated and Filch is crossing back from the other side. | |

| Harry Potter (Video Game) / int_fbc074c3 | comment |
Player Character: You play as Harry, for the most part. In the third and fourth games, you play as Ron or Hermione at some points, but it's still mostly Harry. For the fifth game onward, you're Harry almost all the time and only play as other characters when they had a big action-y scene in the canon. For example, you get to be the Weasley twins when they cause trouble for Umbridge and Dumbledore when he fights Voldemort. | |
