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...
