And yet, despite it all, I can't help declaring myself a massive fan.
I resisted bravely at first, nauseated by rows upon rows of people reading the bright red books on trains, tubes and park benches.
The kind of people who haven't touched a book since Noddy, whose idea of an intellectual challenge is reading the Daily Mail instead of The Sun or, even worse, the kind of people who only read whatever everyone else is reading - whether it's Bridget Jones' Diary or Captain Corelli's bloody Mandolin. Now I've read all the books twice disguised under a Will Self hardback jacket if the reading was done in public and am firmly under the spell of Rowling. But let's get one thing straight: no matter how much the critics rave, the film adaptation is merely competent.
They've taken the Star Wars feel of the novels and turned it into a big budget version of the Famous Five, which will only satisfy kids. The curious thing is, that while the game is still aimed squarely at children, it's also rather good. All credit must go to EA for not turning this into the shameless moneymaking coaster it could have been. When you consider that a PSOne version was released simultaneously, it's amazing that this is a great looking PC title which, though it does have strong console roots, has been developed as a separate product.
The mere fact that you can redefine your keys and use the mouse lets you know right from the start this is not just a console port. While the plot follows that of the book, most of the game is structured around learning spells and putting them into practice.
You attend classes, 'learn' the spells by tracing their symbols with your mouse and complete an obstacle course challenge after each lesson. It doesn't sound like groundbreaking entertainment, but two things elevate it above the standard platform game: the recreation of Hogwarts and quidditch. You can read more about the recreation of the wizard sport in the side panel, but it's the school environments lifted out of Rowling's pages that catch your immediate attention.
The game has been developed with inside knowledge of the film, and so most characters look and even sound like the actorswho portray them, but Hogwarts seems to come alive much more clearly here.
The excellent graphics help, of course, and remind me of the kind of sumptuous interiors to be found in Clive Barker's Undying. In fact, in some respects, this is like a children's version of that game. The architecture, the use of spells, the simplistic almost automatic puzzles, the platforms hovering over great voids and the extreme linearity all bring to mind that other EA title. Hagrid - Forester Draco Malfoy as Harry's rival.
