How To Play Harry Potter 1-3 PC Games on Windows 11 (2024)

[@christianfrey7956]

your tutorial actually helped me get it up in running thank you. Just now starting Harry's first Quidditch match against Slytherin

[@HPExplained]

I’m glad enjoy the game and my walkthroughs

[@osheawtf]

Hey, its a miracle you dropped this so recently as i am just trying to relive my childhood memories on a win 11 laptop. I did everything as you did for harry potter 2 and now i have the white screen stretching through the whole screen but the game still doesnt respond

[@HPExplained]

If you want message me on discord with some ss I might be able to help

[@Cinephilia1994]

Thank-you so much for your help showing how to install these classics. I can't wait to go back and relive the memories. :D

[@HPExplained]

@@Cinephilia1994 I’m glad I’ve helped you do that the whole point of this video :) and hopefully you enjoy my walkthroughs of these games too ;)

The best way to play Chamber of Secrets in 2024 is to install Metallicafan212's Engine & Editor. He actually ported the entire game into a new version of UnReal, made the game compatible with DirectX 11, added a bunch of graphical improvements, and has native 1080p support (including the UI). It also allows you to install and play the Extended Version of HP2.

[@SHREWtl]

Just stumbled on this video and can I just say thank you so much mate. Liked, Subbed and will shout you out to others!

[@HPExplained]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@Mathis-ht1uq]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Everything seem to be working fine, expect when I load a new game after having done everything, a black screen appears :/

[@HPExplained]

What do you mean sorry

[@Mathis-ht1uq]

@@HPExplained I did all over again and it now works, I just need to adjust the resolution which is quite off, I'm not sure why. Basically what happens is that whatever resolution numbers I enter in the game.ini file, the resolution does not change.

Made the prisoner playable but the first goblin that appears on the first level as Ron and carpe retractum gets frozen everytime no matter what.

[@ethanhalversen3791]

Had HP2 running yesterday. Today when I tried to launch it says "Failed to preallocate initial textures." Any thoughts?

[@HPExplained]

Hi Ethan, I have never seen that before no sadly. All I can think of is running as administrator or sadly uninstalling and reinstalling the game

[@Wuarii96]

Hi there! Ithink I-m facing a bug. Whenever Im doing the spells to unlock them, i always receive a very bad grade. I think it is because of the way the grading works, i saw a couple of videos on youtube and it should go slower but on my screen it does the grading quite fast, so I always get around 25-40%. So Im basically stuck in the Alohomora one. I dont know if you can help me somehow

[@HPExplained]

Sorry I have never seen that. are you using mouse? I know sometimes these things now if you don’t have best surface or a pad can be a struggle or if you’re using the laptop clicker

[@SketchyBlu]

Currently trying this on W10 and made it to the part in vid where you replace the HP.exe with the no cd , and when i go to start my game it just black screens me and nothing else happens . Edit: I joined the discord and someone sorted me out thanks for the vid !

Search online there’s lots of websites with them on

IDK what happens with my sound but its just terrible ! Can some1 help me ? Thanks!

[@Windenberg]

okay but where does the NoCD file comes from? It's nowhere to be found, sorcere's stone.

[@HPExplained]

You need to download a cracked copy from online

[@ruurdterhorst5129]

Thanks for this video, the game runs. I only have one problem. the whole game runs off center. The menu is placed to the right and in game Harry is also more to the right of the screen. How to fix this?

[@HPExplained]

I’ve never seen that before or experienced it. If you want join my discord and send some SS

Let us say that I still have these 3 old games on disc, and I want to get them to work on a new pc, what would I need for it to work? (Other than a disc drive, which I already have gotten)

[@HPExplained]

@@frederiog you still need a cracked version like I show and then follow all the steps I do

[@frederiog]

@@HPExplained The reason why I want my old disc versions to work, is because I would like to play the games with Danish voices, which tells you where in the world I'm living. Your version of the games are the english version, which is fine and all, but I would like to play these games, which still live in my memories, the way I remember them.

[@HPExplained]

@@frederiog discs won’t work now but I’m sure you should be able to find the danish versions if you search the internet ;)

[@frederiog]

@@HPExplained You have no idea about how hard it is to find anything, old or new games alike, with danish voices or text on the internet. Maybe I should just try and install the disc games on my new pc, and see what happens, even if that most likely will lead me to a dead end, it's better to try and fail, than not having tried at all, right?

[@muhfarooq74]

bro the fov for harry potter 2 always changes to 90 whenever i start the game

[@HPExplained]

@@muhfarooq74 even after changing it? Does the file save or?

yes, even after changing it and saving it it reverts desired fov to 106.26 to 90

[@martinenberg1061]

Since im Swedish and this game was a big part of my childhood i have to ask if there is any way for the NOCD to run the game in swedish since it seems to only run the game in english? Thanks in advance.

[@HPExplained]

Hi Martien I do know there are some downloads that have eu languages such as Spanish danish. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Swedish pack sadly but I would just check websites

[@CeolDeamhan]

You wouldn't happen to have Quiditch World Cup, would you? I've been having a nasty issue where the game won't save.

Hi, I followed the instructions from this KZbin video on how to install HP1, but it still won't launch the game no matter how much time I spend on it. Please help! I'm so frustrated :'c

[@HPExplained]

What happens when you try launching the game

[@CarlinaSunshine]

After I right click on the application & click run as administrator. It seems like it tries to load the game & then it immediately goes back to the Home Screen if that makes sense
