I miss the free roaming but with the Tasks and all the levels tying into the tasks theres no real point to roaming around.

Have you gone back to the beginning to find all the missing bits yet Mike?

Yes Grin I think I've found everything in the Forbidden Forest level but I'd have to check my stats to be sure Cool

I just liked the free roam because it made me feel like I was actually at Hogwarts and being a part of the movie/book myself.  This one is a little more straight on in your tasks, which I guess it okay.
Is the Forest the only one you collected everything at so far?  Those Mushrooms are a bit hard to spot.

Great I will know where to come to when me and Dad get stuck then.  I swear the bit that says for 3 years old and above refers to some genetically enhanced 3 year old with the IQ of Einstein  ROFL!

I think I've only found about 8 mushrooms and I think I've got one more Dragon Statue to jinx because having everything done but I do have all the shields in that level

The view isn't very good, can't see where you are off to half the time. And I am getting fed up with all the loading and choosing the characters again every five minutes. I find a shield in the Hogwarts exterior and it takes me back to the pensive. I liked the way last time you had to change characters for different tasks.

I agree 100% and I will tell you why.  It made you think.  You had to think "who has that spell?" and "what do I need to do?".  Now, you just hit one button and it does the spell you need it to, whether you know which spell you need or not.  And there is no aim either which is making me angry, because I aim at something, or try to, and I get a spell to lift a rock that is right next to what I mean to get instead......

I think they made it a bit to easy.  It would be nice to have to think more.  I do however like putting certain cards on for better abilities, but you should be able to do that whenever you want, not be put in to it every time you go in to the level.  I also agree about getting the shield and being put right back tot he pensieve.  I think it should give you the choice if you are ready to leave or not.

But hey, I am still having fun.

I have a question - those glimmering things on the ground that start to shine when you walk near to them - what do they do? I haven't worked it out yet, and looking at the manual is a preposterous suggestion Roll Eyes

Are you talking about in the forest?  If so, I tried to jinx them and nothing happened, they just "glowed" a little more....  Any suggestions?

And Mike, which game are you enjoying more, GoF or PoA?  I see you put that in, put I was a little confused by your post...

I was just saying I was surprised how short GOF is.

There are other mushrooms that you have to jinx. I don't know if the glowing things are mushrooms but I've collected them all Undecided

I am getting the mushrooms.  Those glowy things are something different and I don't think there is anything to do with them.

Yes, it is very short huh?  That is why I am collecting everything before moving on to the second task.  I bought this for my nephew for Christmas though, he is 7, and he doesn't care about collecting everything yet.  I think he will be upset at how quickly he will get through this game. Maybe when he is older he will want to go back and collect everything.

I think the free roam helped to make the others longer too because if you just picked it up, you still had to figure where to go with everything.  Oh well, I am still having fun though.

Have any new reviews come in for it yet?

Can someone tell me what this Vanishing Card is that I'm supposed to find in the PC version?  I've completed the Hogwarts Exterior except for this sub-quest. Undecided  I noticed it's a sub-quest for the other levels also.

I have asked for these from Santa this year.
I already have POA, and have played PS.

I cannot wait to see what he brings me this year!
I hear the game is good; and the movie better!  Grin
