comment |
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (retitled, as always, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S.) is the first Harry Potter video game. It was released by Electronic Arts in 2001 to coincide with the release of the film by the same name.As was the norm at the time, the versions released on different platforms are essentially different games. But in general, Harry is the only Player Character, and all or most of the game takes place at Hogwarts, with the early part of the story getting quickly skimmed over. Gameplay consists of a series of linear levels, punctuated by learning new spells from the teachers. The Stations of the Canon come into play as you rescue Neville's Remembrall from Draco Malfoy, save Hermione from the mountain troll, and ultimately, stop Lord Voldemort from capturing the titular rock. Depending on the platform, other events from the original story may or may not be included.The PlayStation game is notable for being the last mega-seller in the console's history, being (originally) the only console version of the Philosopher's Stone games. It was a massive success despite launching in the twilight of the PS1's life cyclenote a year after the PlayStation 2 had launched, selling 8 million copiesnote the first PS1 game in two years, since Gran Turismo 2, to do so, good for sixth all-time in PS1 sales ahead of iconic games like Metal Gear Solid, every entry in the Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider series, among many others.In 2002, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets became the first Potter game released on 6th generation consoles. However, with 2003 being a gap year between the second and third films, EA opted to release a Philosopher's Stone game for 6th generation consoles in that year. This game reuses assets from the preexisting 6th generation Chamber of Secrets game and is therefore essentially a Prequel to that version. It is also closer to the film than the other Stone games since the movie had obviously been released by that point.In all versions of this game, the majority of the music was composed by Jeremy Soule, who would return for the next three games, or four, if you count Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. |

| | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Video Game) / int_21e5b9c7 |

Failed a Spot Check: In the Sneak levels of the PC game, Filch can hear Harry's footsteps on wood and stone, as well as doors opening and closing and vases smashing, but he seemingly can't hear Harry climbing up or falling down bookcases, or the noise made when Harry tries but fails to cast a spell. (There are also certain times when he is oblivious to Harry's footsteps unless you deliberately walk right into him, such as when he's crossing the bridge at the beginning of the Sneak Down level.) |

| | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Video Game) / int_26fd153 |
comment |
Early Adaptation Weirdness: In this game, Hogwarts students are not depicted wearing the movie uniforms. Instead, they wear black robes over their regular clothes, like in Mary GrandPré's illustrations.note This, by the way, does not match the book description any more than the movie uniforms. The books make it clear that their robes are closed in front, rending any clothing worn underneath not visible. For the most part, Hogwarts in this game doesn't look especially like it does in the films. Instead, it seems to be an original interpretation of the book's description. In the PC version, Filch locks a bookcase passage with magic, despite being a squib. |

Stupidity Is the Only Option: In the GBC version, after Harry and Hermione send off Norbert at the top of the Astronomy Tower, the player can see that they are no longer wearing the Invisibility Cloak as they head back down. But there's no option to find it and pick it up, and no way to avoid getting caught by Filch as a result. |

Body Horror: In the final battle of the PC version, Quirrell grabs his head and literally rotates it 180 degrees on his neck so Voldemort can see Harry face to face - and also presumably so Voldemort is facing forwards, as realising it in the same way as the book and the film did would mean him spending the ensuing Boss Battle walking around backwards. |

Potion-Brewing Mechanic: The GBC game allows you to use your cauldrons at any time outside of battle to brew the game's seven potions. Each cauldron can only be used to brew certain potions, with the collapsible and self-stirring cauldrons being interchangeable with each other. The ingredients are found around the castle grounds. This is also the only way to obtain the Vitamix and Herbicide Potions. |

| | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Video Game) / int_5a40d6a |
comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Besides adding back in elements from the book that were cut from the film (and even adding a few of its own) the game considerably trims certain aspects of the story. When McGonagall appoints Harry as Gryffindor seeker, the first match he's expected to play in is later that very same day. Harry and Hermione getting detention and sent into the Forbidden Forest when they're caught after smuggling Norbert up the tower doesn't happen at all in the PC/MAC version (Harry alone delivers Norbert and it's Game Over if he gets caught). It does in the PS1 version though, and in the PS2 version the venture into the Forest is instead part of a quest to collect ingredients for Potions class. The whole story of how the Trio discover the secret of the Philosopher's Stone is heavily simplified and seems to involve several leaps of logic. They never encounter Fluffy until the climax but instead just hear growling coming from the forbidden corridor, and for some reason decide that whatever it is must be guarding the Philosopher's Stone, and then conclude that Snape wants to steal it as he has been "acting very suspicious". |

Permanently Missable Content: Because you are unable to revisit past areas in the PC game, any Famous Wizard Cards you failed to acquire are permanently lost to you. The same is true for the PS1 version, with many cards hidden behind secret passages and / or difficult mini-games. The Locomotor Mortis and Petrificus Totalus spells and the recipe for the Herbicide Potion are hidden in the Restricted Section of the library and can only be found before Harry trips the alarm during the first invisibility cloak segment. The Mucus ad Nauseam spell can likewise only be learned by using the Curse Book before you return it to the library. |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Professor Quirrell in the PC version. He teaches Harry Flipendo and Lumos and helps him practice those spells; additionally, he awards Harry house points if he follows the patterns well enough and if he collects all the Challenge Stars. Kind of qualifies in the PS1 version too; he teaches Harry the Verdimillious spell and if you get to class late he apologizes that he must take points from Gryffindor. |

Non-Standard Game Over |
| | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab |
comment |
Non Standard Game Over: Getting caught by Filch or Mrs. Norris in the PC version (although what exactly happens to Harry after he's caught isn't specified, presumably expulsion). More bizarre, perhaps, is that getting caught by a professor, Snape especially (or any prefect) in the sneaking sections of its GBA cousin will only lose you some points and force you to restart the area. The PC version also has the Potions puzzle: you have to remember the positioning of the potion to cross the fire and cast Flipendo on it a few times, becoming harder each time you hit it after the potions shuffle. Pick the wrong potion and Harry will get poisoned and die, forcing you to try again. |

| | Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Video Game) / int_b552b24 |
comment |
Truer to the Text: The game features Gryffindor's second Quidditch match (against Ravenclaw) which was omitted in the film. In the movie, it's simply stated in dialogue that Dumbledore had Norbert sent away to Romania. The game version includes the part from the book where Harry agrees to sneak Norbert up the Astronomy Tower to deliver him to Charlie Weasley's friends. As in the book, Harry lulls Fluffy to sleep by playing a flute gifted to him by Hagrid, whereas the film featured Fluffy already put to sleep by a self-playing harp that Quirrell left behind. The movie pares down the obstacles to the Philosopher's Stone, cutting the potions challenge and a troll that was already knocked out by Quirrell. The game adds the potions challenge back in, playing it as a Shell Game or a brewing minigame depending on the version. The troll also appears in the GBC and PS1 version, waking up in the latter. Also in comparison to the film, Harry’s physical appearance and the way the Hogwarts students are dressed are a lot closer to how they are described in the novels, and Peeves appears as a boss character. The 6th generation console version features some shot-for-shot recreations of scenes from the film. However, it does take some dialogue from the book and corrects where Hagrid got Fluffy from (a Greek man instead of an Irish one). |

The Mucus ad Nauseam spell can likewise only be learned by using the Curse Book before you return it to the library. |

Jump Scare: for the intended demographic, at least—during the final boss fight with Voldemort, he shoots green spells at you (obviously the Killing Curse, but thankfully they don't cause instant death) and you need to hide behind pillars while he fires them, causing the pillars to shake and then you can topple them over onto him with Flipendo. When you get to the last one, though, Voldemort just blows it up. Yikes! |

Poison Mushroom: The Herbicide Potion deals damage to Harry if he drinks it. That said, you can only get the potion by brewing it yourself, so that's on you if you use it. There are also a few card combinations with detrimental effects such as Nausea and Sluggish. After you defeat Malfoy in the GBC version, he gives you a card combination which he tells you to use if you're in danger. The combination will drain your MP if used. |
