DESCRIPTION

Offering a host of new features and opponents, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban looks to offer fans of this series a refreshingly new storyline as Harry and friends face their most terrifying opponents yet. For the first time in the series, gamers will be able to switch between Harry's friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, to face challenges and overcome enemies using the specific skills each character possesses.

Together, their strengths will need to be combined and their spells mastered, as they unravel the mystery surrounding Sirius Black and his escape from the notorious wizard prison, Azkaban. Revealing these secrets and solving the mystery will not be easy, as sub-quests, creatures, and the mystery of the Marauder's Map all block the path that will lead players to the finale on the shore of the great lake at Hogwarts.

The PlayStation 2 version of Prisoner of Azkaban features four exclusive mini-games designed to be played using Sony's EyeToy camera accessory. These include "Chocolate Frogs," "Exploding Snap," "Seeker Practice," and "Zonko's Joke Shop." ~ Damian Francis, All Game Guide
