The game follows the three main characters of the movie — namely Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley — and there is an entirely new spell-casting system that will allow for collaborative spells. The characters themselves will more closely resemble their movie counterparts than in previous games. It also has higher-quality graphics than the rest of the Harry Potter video games.

Much to many fans' anger and disappointment (as voiced on such community review sites as Gamespot.com)[citation needed], there is no RPG iteration of the game, unlike with previous titles. Also, it was pointed out that unlike the previous installments, there was not much room to "run around" such as in the second game where you were allowed to move freely within the castle and on the grounds. This article is about games in which one plays the role of a character. ...


It also should be noted that anger was raised over the decision not to include a different version for the PC[citation needed], unlike previous versions. And strangely, PEGI had mislabelled the game with their "Fear" mark (The spider icon) in Europe, specifically in Norway, but the game proved not to be as frightening as it was supposed to be (it may have been due to skeletons been used).

The game is divided into several nonconsecutive levels, some of which are locked at the beginning of the game until the player collects enough Triwizard Shields to unlock it.

The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated, arguably over-hyped Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has arrived, and the question on the minds of kids, adults, fans, and skeptics alike is, "Is it worth the hype?" The answer, luckily, is simple: yep.
Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
