I don't think this is cannon, but I like to imagine that only certain spells and schools of magic can be learned by what defines your connection to the magical world. But then again, I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works. But this is how I explained many shortcomings in the story.

[@Mr-Trox]

​@@SirSkrall It absolutely doesn't work anything like that at all. This is just a tie-in game, it doesn't need headcanons to fix its shortcomings. They just needed a reason for you to play as anyone other than Harry by giving them something to distinguish themselves aside from Harry being the athletic one, Ron finding beans and secret passages, and Hermione fitting in places the other two can't.

[@Jason0binladen]

I like how instead of fighting the bogart like professor lupin actually had them do their first lesson he sends Harry, Ron, and Hermione off by themselves to solve basic puzzles and fight a giant cauldron

I am seriously impressed by this damn game. The first two were pretty typical crapped-out movie games, flying around the big open Hogwarts grounds was the only remotely fun part. This game actually has some personality, the occasional clever line or bit of dialogue, and they made up some fairly decent puzzles and gameplay involving all three protagonists. It has *way* more effort put into it than I ever expected...even if everyone does look like the Sims.

[@alexsm3882]

Look into the chamber of secrets for pc mate that game had a lot of personality (These games were different for each platform)

[@cheezdoodle96]

I'll have ya know, this is a _Philosopher's Stone_ and _Chamber of Secrets_ positive channel! I do, however, agree that this game rocks! The PC versions of all three do as well. (I've only played the PC versions of the first two with the exception of messing about at Ron's house on my friend's PS2 version of CoS.)

[@lowhp_comic]

I like how the first 3 had a slightly more toony aesthetic that makes it feel like it's more out of the books, the later games are all clearly based off the movies exclusively

[@cheezdoodle96]

@@lowhp_comic Not to mention how the games started becoming wand-based shooters after the fourth one. (I mean, I get you can't really have a cozy run-around-Hogwarts-collecting-beans-and-wizard cards-game based on _The Deathly Hallows,_ but I'm sure they could've done _something_ that didn't involve turning it into «Harry Potter and the Gears of War» [nothing against _Gears,_ it just doesn't fit].)

@@cheezdoodle96 I think the fifth was very good. It had a huge open hogwarts, cool minigames, and the spell combat was not cover-based as far as I remember (more in line with earlier games, just strafing + auto-aim)

[@buddytheoc]

I actually remember in the pamphlet that was along with the game, it was stated that Harry was "sporty because of him playing Quidditch, therefore he can jump further than the others" ... so, basically they turned him into a jock for this.

[@Mr-Trox]

I mean, the books do mention Oliver's hellish training regimes, so Harry probably is the most built of the three. He's also the most agile, but the books make mention of him being very fast in like the 2nd or 3rd chapter of PS.

[@buddytheoc]

@@Mr-Trox you are right about the books. I honestly never thought of Harry as a jock when I was a kid reading the books, because after all they are riding on broomsticks, so it‘s not like they are doing „the work“. I guess it‘s a similar argument one could have about Formula 1 drivers. They have to be sport, although they are „just driving a car“. On contrary, Harry was never described as physically built. So the pamphlet description of him being „sporty“ was always a little odd to me. But yeah, let‘s just enjoy the nostalgia while we can

[@Mr-Trox]

@@buddytheoc Jock comes with a negative connotation attached that Harry doesn't really fit, even if he *is* a star athlete. Motorsports like F1 and such do have a harsh effect on the human body. You have to be fit for them, not only because of weight reduction, but because race cars will 100% kick your ass going so fast and turning so hard. It's like being a fighter pilot. I assume riding a broomstick isn't much different. Especially for the Chasers and Seeker. Harry's not described as being very built, no, but then JK never went into much detail beyond giving basic descriptions of their appearance, like Ron being gangly and freckly, and Hermione being buck toothed and bushy haired. Built was the wrong word, I just meant the strongest/most athletic of the three.

[@buddytheoc]

@@Mr-Trox I agree with you. To be honest, I am German and I translated the pamphlets content from memory. It is very possible that „sporty“ is not the best aquivalent to its German counterpart they used which I dont remember anymore. And again, as a kid I did not really think of the whole allegorical argument with Formula 1 drivers who clearly have to be fit and lean.

Also yes, some of the bookcases are actually shortcuts. As Ron, you can open them and hidden passages, explaining how Fred and George could get around so fast as well. Why didn't he use it sooner in the games? I dunno, I'm not a game developer. Anyways, you can also search coat racks and the like for beans and goodies. Anything that has a faint blue shimmer on it naturally, which only shows up when you play Ron. (Not to be confused with the flippendo shimmer effect)
