Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the Videogame

Harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the videogame, is the fifth installment of the Harry Potter videogame series. It has great graphics (the best so far), but there’s not much you can do. It has been called over and over, and I agree, “just an endless chore simulation”.

You start out at Grimmauld Place and learn how to do basic spells.

• Wingardium Leviosa: The Levitation Charm (you use this to help pack Ron’s trunk)
• Reparo: The Fixing Charm (Sirius has you fix everything in the house with this).
• Depulso and Accio: Depulso is the Knockback Jinx and Accio is the Summoning Charm.

After attending the hearing the game brings you straight to Hogwarts. At Hogwarts you do more endless chores *GROAN* including

• Finding a library book on magical defense. After Umbridge doesn’t teach you how to use defensive spells, you find a restricted section book on practical defense.
• Finding the DA: After Neville shows you the Room of Requirement, you have to spend valuable time telling DA members where the next meeting is *SNORE*.

Once you learn all the spells, Umbridge takes over. Now you have to walk around doing endless chores while listening to stupid Umbridge public service announcements.

Right after Dumbridge takes over, Hermione tells you to start rallying the DA members. Now you get to find DA members and have fun causing chaos *SNOOOR-WHAT? COOL!*

After a while Fred and George have their “Finest Hour”. You actually control Fred and George setting off fireworks.

Once you reach the Department of Mysteries and find the prophecy, the Death Eaters attack. During the fight you get to control Sirius. His spells are more powerful than Harry’s.

Then Voldemort attacks. You get to control Dumbledore, use his powerful spells, and defeat old “moldy” Voldy.

HOOORAY! You’ve overthrown Umbridge, Defeated Voldemort, and alerted everyone to his presence! But wait! you’re only halfway done. You have to do a few things first.

• Luna’s Possessions: You’ve got to walk around finding her hidden possessions.
• Portraits: There are several portraits around Hogwarts that house secret passages. Ask them questions, and they’ll tell you what to do.
• Games: Around the school there are students playing games (Wizard Chess, Exploding Snap, or Gobstones). You can challenge them all to games.
