The most famous boy wizard's first-year adventure gets a next generation update as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone comes to PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube in this reissue of the title. The updated release features presentational enhancements designed to make use of the power of the 128-bit generation systems. The gameplay and story remain true to the initial release (which was designed for home computers and the original PlayStation): a third-person 3D action-adventure based on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first novel in J.K. Rowling's explosively popular series.

Players take the role of the prodigious young magician as he begins his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, joined by other favorite characters such as Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and even Draco Malfoy. Harry Potter can explore the grounds at Hogwarts, spend time with Hagrid, and even join a quick game of quidditch. However as in the novel, Harry's special gifts are noticed not only by his instructors but by darker forces as well, and he may even come face-to-face with "You-Know-Who" himself before this adventure is over.

Two years after versions on other platforms, the then-current consoles got their own adaptation of the first Harry Potter book and film. Like in the computer and PlayStation versions, Harry Potter's first year at school of magic Hogwarts is presented as a 3D action adventure title.

After a tutorial at Ollivander's Wand Shop and an introductory first night at Hogwarts, the game is organized into distinct days and nights. Days mostly consist of lessons, where usually Harry will learn new spells. The more interesting stuff happens at night, of course, when Harry sneaks around the castle to do things like meeting Draco Malfoy for a duel, fighting a troll in the dungeons, and other important scenes from the film and book.

Most tasks involve platform sections, where Harry has to jump over chasms and balance along edges. Often, creatures will be in the way that have to be fought using the correct spells, and magic must also be used to solve the occasional puzzle. At night, Harry must watch out for prefects patrolling the floors of the castle to avoid getting sent back to the common room. There's also broomstick flying in the game, including a Quidditch match against Slytherin.

After classes, Hogwarts can be freely explored. At any time, it is possible to revisit school lessons to get better grades, often only possible after some more advanced spells have been learned. Also, lots of collectibles can be found both in the open and hidden areas: collecting 20 wizard cards increases Harry's health and Every Flavour Beans can be traded in Fred and George's shop for more cards and some other useful items.

Features:
* Use Harry's magic wand to defeat such enemies as the Venemous Tentacula, Devil's Snare, and Mutated Gytrash
* Explore a 3D Hogwarts and other locales from the book and film, including Ollivander's Wand Shop
* Engage in spell challenges to improve powers
