So glad I was able to contribute to your collection and to the community! The video was awesome! Summer's customer service was TOP NOTCH! Now it's time to start playing all those HP games you haven't played! Good, bad and horrible. LOL!
This is a dream come true for all Harry Potter fans! Man looking at these boxes takes me back to my childhood. Best childhood ever thanks to Harry Potter
This was an awesome video. Would like to see more content like this in the future. The editing was top notch. That was really nice and wholesome what you did for Summer and the rest of the employees.
I noticed the lightning thief DVD in the far left corner in the second store you were at :-) In case you didn’t know, the best harry potter Director Chris Columbus also directed the Lightning Thief movie
Luna alert!!! So glad you found the last game. What a journey. I love this vlog style videos they're so entertaining. Shout-out to Summer! Also, your name is Jonathan??? I've been living in a lie... 😂
Wow, this is incredible - a great video as well! I've only ever played Philosipher's Stone on PSone and I didn't get anymore because I didn't know there were other games (when I was a child)! I would love to get some of these to play on my original Gameboy Advanced SP!
The use of your real name when you called that store threw me off so much I wasn't expecting it 😂 this was fun to watch! I have a handful of the old games too I remember playing prizioner of Azkaban on the game boy advance often as a kid
@@RetroRaconteur felt like I was let in on a secret 😂 😜 I replayed the section cause I wasn't looking at the screen when you first said it and I thought it was the employee who said it for a minute then I was like wait, no 😂
As a kid not only did I try to get the games for the GameCube, I tried to collect all the wizard cards they used to see in stores. I remembered Toys or Us had them, before it went out of business here
What was cut from this video is that at first I wanted to try and get them all for specific systems, but I very quickly saw that wasn't going to be possible 😅 Gamecube is what I played both Chamber and Quidditch World Cup on though so it was cool to get those for Gamecube.
I'm brainstorming ideas now for future videos where I play some of the obscure ones. I never played it originally so it would be cool to see how they are.
You can see the ups and downs of this quest. You are inspiring not to give up so easily. And your son in de vid, simply great! Just a dad who loves games. I think you're THE dad ❣️
Awesome video Retro but I don't know what we're gonna do when gaming goes fully digital because I like collecting physical copies of games as well but since Alan Wake 2 will be digital only, that has me a little worried
For sure, dude! It's already crazy seeing some of these used prices on older games. I could make a small fortune if I had never sold my Gamecube games as a kid 😅
This was such a great watch. I've often dreamed about doing the same thing with every edition of Street Fighter 2 released. You just bought yourself a new subscriber and next and I want a play yest if every game 😂
Appreciate the kind words! 😊 And yeah, I’m already thinking of ideas to do videos about playing some of these…especially the obscure ones like wonderbook.
Super late to the video, work has been bananas (healthcare am I right?). The way you didn’t say retro, and said Jonathan, when you introduced yourself was wild. Like obviously that’s your name but it feels wrong 😂😂 also love that your son made a cameo appearance. much love and lumos 💛🖤
This journey is awesome! Reminds me of my cousin hunting down every Pokémon game after he tried out diamond/pearl on the Nintendo ds. He has all the English and most of the Japanese main-line games so far.
Wow! Now that is an impressive collection! Appreciate the kind words on the video too. This one was super fun and a completely different format for me.
That's so cool! I hope you'll get the chance to play all of them. I've played all but the Lego Creator games and then the book of spells and potions. They may not be the best games ever made. But they were very fun and good memories with them.
The PS2 and Xbox Sorcerer's Stone is incredibly rare! I'm surprised you actually found one, the cheapest they go for online is around £100, but sometimes much more.
Im collecting all the HP games as well (almost done just need the handheld versions) and I have 2 local game stores and only 1 of them still sells retro games but honestly I’ve not had any trouble like you, but then again I’m taking my time with it and you were probably doing this within the 1 or 2 weeks or something
Might try this too. Got 11 right now. Movie tie in 1-4 on XBOX, movie tie in 1-8 on wii, Lego Harry potter Collection on both Steam and PS4 (had each separately on Wii before) and of course Hogwarts Legacy on PS5. I also used to have movie tie in 3 and 4 on GBA and 5 on DS, but now I gotta get them again since I don't have them anymore. I also played the Lego Creator games so revisiting them will be fun, but can they run on Windows 7 computer? That will be a problem if not and I might need to look for an old vista pc for it.
I just bought a copy of Chamber of Secrets for ps2 from game exchange. When i was there they had a copy of sorcerer's stone as well in the original boxes
Retro had no idea...that he would be in fact be leaving today with. my. entire. HP game. collection....free of charge 😁( must have been expensive for all of that still happy you managed to get them all retro!! Jokes aside) I still have both the wonderbook of potions & spells, I haven't played either in a very long time. I'm tempted to play Ps1 Philosophers stone haven't finished it yet...I primarily want to play it again just on the off chance I get better loot 😅 the chests in HL leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for the video Retro& have a great day :)
Hey there! Appreciate the kind words. Good luck on your search! So the Xbox one I basically had to recreate myself. It's not perfect, but it may work for you! Here's a Onedrive link to the image: 1drv.ms/i/s!AoCGWgwi8HvU7S6EyFunszfFgFR1?e=CFA7aW
Extremely cool collection. Stumbled upon this because I am actually doing this myself! In my country, tons of the games you have are so hard to find. For example, I bought Lego creator chamber of in a set with tons of different Lego games, after looking for months for it. Although your collection seems mostly complete in terms of "actually different games", you miss a few "not so different" games, like goblet of fire for the PS2 vs PS3 you mentioned. I'm still hunting for the GBA collection of the first 3 games (single cartridge with the first 3 stories) which is super rare. I found an Italian factory sealed version of that for like 300 euros, but I'm specifically looking for Dutch versions of the games. One question I had, you seem to have super cool big card box versions of PC versions of the Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban (the latter with a 30 dollar sticker on it). Can you tell me more about those versions, I have never seen them?
Hey glad you enjoyed the video! I’m traveling now but will try and remember to take a closer look at those 2 when I get back. Those two PC games were also developed by Know Wonder, who made the first game on PC. They’re quite different from the console versions.
@@RetroRaconteur I would appreciate it! I am aware of the difference between the PC and console versions, in fact, chamber of secrets for the PC is the game I played a lot as a kid and sort of kick-started my desire to collect them all! However, I've only ever seen it in a normal CD-ROM case, but never in a cardboard box
Yeah so I'm back home now. Both of the boxed PC versions you're asking about are developed by KnowWonder and published by EA Games. 2002 is the date for the CoS game and 2004 is the date for PoA. They're US versions and have the box you were talking about. Inside they have a little cardboard tray that holds the CD style case of the game.
Lego Dimensions: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack Lego Dimensions: Harry Potter Team Pack Lego Dimensions: Tina Fun Pack Lego Dimensions: Hermione Granger Fun Pack
Yeah, I thought about those but i don’t see that as a Harry Potter game. The game is Lego Dimensions and then the Harry Potter elements are just add ons to unlock stuff in the game.
So glad I was able to contribute to your collection and to the community! The video was awesome! Summer's customer service was TOP NOTCH! Now it's time to start playing all those HP games you haven't played! Good, bad and horrible. LOL!
Hahaha. Thank you again for sending it! Was a super fun surprise along the journey for the games.
This is a dream come true for all Harry Potter fans! Man looking at these boxes takes me back to my childhood. Best childhood ever thanks to Harry Potter
Right? I would’ve been much closer to having them all if I hadn’t sold/traded games in as a kid 😆
True. But I’d settle for the new seat one. Exploring the castle totally unhindered is amazing.
Such an awesome journey!! Glad you were able to get your hands on all of them! And printing your own covers?! So cool 😎
Thanks! Appreciate all your feedback on the pre-release version 😃
awesome video mate, really enjoyed this!!
Appreciate it, Andy! Means a lot coming from you. Keep up the awesome content on your channel. I know you put a ton of work into it!
This was an awesome video. Would like to see more content like this in the future. The editing was top notch. That was really nice and wholesome what you did for Summer and the rest of the employees.
Appreciate it, Gabe! Was a super fun one to make. Really enjoyed experimenting with a new style.
Summer is an absolute legend! And what an awesome collection!!
For sure! She was a huge help.
Now this is a true and deserving Collection's Trophy!
Right?!?!?!
talk about dedication, and definitely more stores need employees like Summer, its cool you were able to give back to her and the rest of them
Thanks, Baxter!
@@RetroRaconteur sorry i've been absent btw i've been super busy lately but i hope you continue to get more followers :D
I noticed the lightning thief DVD in the far left corner in the second store you were at :-) In case you didn’t know, the best harry potter Director Chris Columbus also directed the Lightning Thief movie
Follow the spiders 😂
Only the true fans will catch that one 🤣
Luna alert!!! So glad you found the last game. What a journey. I love this vlog style videos they're so entertaining. Shout-out to Summer! Also, your name is Jonathan??? I've been living in a lie... 😂
Hahaha! Think of "Jonathan" as my "Clark Kent." My true identity is Retro! 😄
11:27 I can’t remember the name of the song in the background, can anyone help?
Summer is so sweet 🤍
And congrats on collecting them all!
Thank you, and yes, she was great!
Wow, this is incredible - a great video as well!
I've only ever played Philosipher's Stone on PSone and I didn't get anymore because I didn't know there were other games (when I was a child)!
I would love to get some of these to play on my original Gameboy Advanced SP!
You still have your original SP?! That's awesome! And I appreciate your kind words on the video. This one was super fun to record 😊
So fun following along... makes me want to hit up Half Price Books on the way home to see what they have! :)
You never know what gems you may find!
The use of your real name when you called that store threw me off so much I wasn't expecting it 😂 this was fun to watch! I have a handful of the old games too I remember playing prizioner of Azkaban on the game boy advance often as a kid

So kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Really cool video! Also makes me want to give this amazing community a big hug.
🤗 🤗🤗
The dedication on this video is incredible haha very entertaining 🤝
Glad you enjoyed!
Loved this video! It was great to see your journey trying to find all of these games and the end was really nice.

I've been dying to play the Book of Spells and Book of Potion, but I have neither the games, nor the console. It will stay a dream xD

@@RetroRaconteur By the way, I'm shocked your name is Jonathan haha!
@@MichaelFromTheAttic A couple of people have mentioned that. Don't worry, it's just my real world alter-ego. Retro is my one, true identity! 😆
That's so cool! I hope you'll get the chance to play all of them. I've played all but the Lego Creator games and then the book of spells and potions. They may not be the best games ever made. But they were very fun and good memories with them.
Yeah, I feel like I need to do follow-ups now of me playing them, haha. I hear the early Game Boy Color ones are actually pretty good.
I love a good hunt. Great vid. You gonna play any of these live?
Thanks, Brittany! Yeah, I definitely want to try and stream some of them one day.
The PS2 and Xbox Sorcerer's Stone is incredibly rare! I'm surprised you actually found one, the cheapest they go for online is around £100, but sometimes much more.
Yep I never could find the PS2 or GCN one, but got lucky for the Xbox one!
Amazing video!!!! I love this so much!!!
Aww, thanks Miranda! It was so much fun to make this one 😄
i like this video format its different and entertaining 😊

I know both Philosopher's and Chamber will run on modern PCs with a few workarounds. Not sure about the LEGO ones though. Would be interesting to try!
goblet of fire for gameqube was one of my favorite games as a child with my brothers since you have co-op.
This is so cool dude! I’m a huge Harry Potter fan! 👍🏽

@@RetroRaconteur do you have video of editing that cause that sure look like its from live.
Nice video but what about the DVD games? 😛
Ha! 😆 I actually have the collectors editions for all of the movies. Completely forgot about those little games on there.
love your channel❤⚡️
Appreciate that!
Taco Bell really needs to bring back the slasa verde. Love that stuff.
Trying to remember if I ever had that...
This is insane! I would save these as a collection if I can't play them 😂

Yep. Still one of my favorites.
Is there a reason why you didn't get any of the Wii versions?
Mostly because they just didn't run nearly as well as the PS3 versions. Not a fand of the wand waggling either 😄
