The latest Harry Potter movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” has done good business at the box office. The videogame (www.harrypotter.ea.com) from Electronic Arts is also fun. Players can relive Potter’s third year at Hogwarts School by assuming the roles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
Players perform a series of tasks, including flying Buckbeak the Hippogriff, battling the Monster Book of Monsters and simply moving around the Hogwarts castle in order to make it to class.
All this requires thinking logically, using hand-eye coordination and creatively solving puzzles. Some differences exist between the PS2/Xbox version and the PC version.
