The film adaptations have been, for the most part, as good as fans of the books could hope for. Like any series that is massively successful in one medium, Harry Potter has branched out into toys, apparel, and, of course, video games. Before Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the most recent installment based on the sixth book and movie of the same name, I had never played a Harry Potter game-and from the reviews I read, there didn't seem to be any need to do so. However, for some reason, I really thought that EA would be able to improve the Harry Potter game experience this time around, and make Half-Blood Prince more than just another mediocre tie-in. Unfortunately, this series still has not come close to living up to its video game potential."
