Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) — the game is very similar to its predecessors, such as the Philosopher's Stone and Know Wonder's Chamber of Secrets. The player travels around Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding area, collecting bonuses, attending teachers' lessons, learning new spells.
Features:
- In some designated places, control is transferred to Harry's friends — Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger, and each game character also has his own unique spells;
- Harry, Ron and Hermione can simultaneously cast a spell on the same object (it can be recognized by the three spell runes drawn on the object). This requires holding down the spell's activation button until others join in, but this feature only works on some special spots.

Reviews and ratings
I remember the press gave the third part a good run. There were reasons for this. First of all, the graphics haven't gotten any better. Secondly, the too low difficulty level made the game elementary. Thirdly, levels like repetitive exams quickly became boring. In general, growing up didn’t work out well. Even the opportunity to play as Ron and Hermione didn’t help (and it couldn’t—the characters differed only in a couple of spells).
Only cards with wizards (and also with witches, magical creatures, etc.) pleased me again. But it’s not much of a consolation...
Помнится, пресса хорошенько проехалась по третьей части. На то было свои причины. Во-первых, графика ничуть не стала лучше. Во-вторых, чересчур низкий уровень сложности делал игру элементарной. В-третьих, уровни вроде повторяющихся экзаменов быстро надоедали. В общем, с взрослением не задалось. Даже возможность играть за Рона и Гермиону не спасала (да и не могла — персонажи отличались лишь парой заклинаний).
Только карточки с волшебниками (а ещё с ведьмами, магическими существами и т.д.) вновь порадовали. Да только не велико утешение…
Very enjoyable games. The gameplay is very good. The music and atmosphere are still great. In terms of plot, the PC version moves quickly. And spends part of the gameplay on exams to get the ending. Which in turn repeat the lessons of the same spells only longer and more complicated. You can play as all three. And everyone has their own problems. But the console versions are even cooler and more diverse.
Очень приятные игры. Геймплей очень хорош. Музыка и атмосфера все так же великолепны. В плане сюжета пк версия быстро бежит. И тратит часть геймплея на экзамены чтоб получить концовку. Которые в своё очередь повторяют уроки этих же заклинаний только длиннее и замороченные. Играть можно за всю троицу. И у каждого свои плюхи. Но консольные версии ещё круче и разнообразней.
