The Boy Who Lived continues his adventures on Game Boy consoles! One year ago, I took a long, hard look at Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the Game Boy Color - now, it's time to do the same to its sequel. This game was presumably developed in a year - how could it POSSIBLY hold up?

Solid video! Can't wait for the sequel review --- any timeframe in mind?
Thanks for watching! Since you asked, I've actually got my dates set:
November 16th, 2018: Harry Potter on Game Boy Advance (Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets on GBA)
June 4th, 2019: Harry Potter on Game Boy Advance: Prisoner of Azkaban
Gotta keep in line with those 15-year movie anniversaries and Fantastic Beasts release dates.
Max Marriner Soon

Keep up the good work!
Max Marriner dude where the heck is Harry Potter on game boy advance you said it would be on November 16 2018 but now it’s December 15 2018 where is it?
Haha, you're keeping me to my word! The video is slated for release later this month.
If only the third game was on GBC instead of GBA...
I want GBC RPGs for each Harry Potter book.
This is one of life's greatest tragedies tbh
Part of the reason I got into game development was because I wanted there to be another game like that... I even have the cards/combos system in my game ;)
My hope is that as this type of game becomes easier to code with advances in technology that we may actually see some of the later game as fan creations using the original style and look, and hopefully physical cartridges too. =)

From what I've heard from bare metal programmers for old consoles, programming a game becomes easy once you get used to it.
Harry Potter has such a rich world, it would be so cool to see a modern mobile rpg that DOES NOT have lootboxes or a pay-to-win model
I just wish companies would still put out games for old consoles, It doesn't give the same feeling if they're just gonna change how a game looks with every system. Doesn't make any sense to me
So glad you mentioned the music. Some hot bangers right there man.
Not a classic? Everything else about the analysis was spot on but the conclusion fell at that line.
I did play the game as a kid and it was by far one of my favorites. Glad to see someone went back and looked it up. Great review overall!
I'm glad you reviewed this, people need to know how good this was
Did you know that the composer for the console-versions of Chamber of Secret (And Sorcerer's Stone) was Jeremy Soul? Gotta say though, impressed by both how well some tracks where transferred to the GBC from the console-versions AND how great the original ones are :)
I actually had a whole bit devoted to mentioning him that I ultimately cut. His music is incredible and his work on Chamber of Secrets earned him a BAFTA, which was well-deserved.
And you can tell that at least his Hogwarts theme was demade for the GBC game.
This is the first video game I ever had. This was my entire childhood. Thank you.
Never got passed Aragog aswell when I was a kid, I grinded until level 80 and still could not get passed it back then.
Aragog is hard. I never got past the Basilisk fight myself.
Who else noticed when fawks burnt up harry says "yikes I hope it wasn't anything I said."? Lmfao
6:23 why is he dabbing
I always felt like Harry Potter and the GBC were touchstones for gen Y. I was too old for them but they seem to have a lot of weight for people who are now 30-35. The game looks pretty good though!
2:19 "Flying high above the Hogwarts Express in the Weasleys' Angeela"
Er - what? Anglia would be pronounced ... Ang.. lee.. ah? right?
Yeah lmao
Just discovered your channel. This was a great review ! Hope to see Prisoner of Azkaban soon !!
Already out now :)
Great reviews ( game 1 and 2). I played game 1 (SS) on GBC when I was 8 or 9 years old when I had a lot of time to kill so I guess it didn't test my patience too much. I remember being able to breeze through it when I discovered a bug which let me essentially gather infinite ingredients for creating healling points.
1. Stand in front of a bush at the Hogwarts grounds which contains the essential ingredient
2. Collect the item
3. Open the start menu. Then close it and return to the game.
4. Inspect the bush again and you'll find it has another of the same ingredient you just collected. Opening the start menu resets it every time.
instant hack to brew how many ever potions you need of anything!
This was literally my first turn based rpg. Ok no, digimon world2, then this, then Pokémon yellow, then Mario superstar saga.
Thank you very much for your thoroughly entertaining and insightful Harry Potter game reviews! It is extremely difficult to find quality coverage on these game and I sincerely hope that you continue to review every Harry Potter game based on the first three stories...... I don't really give a crap whether or not you decide to cover any of the post "Prisoner of Azkaban" games.
I remember playing this game as kid! I had both the Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets for GBC, and Azakaban for GBA. (Looking forward to your review of that, too). Chamber was my favorite of the three, and the only one I actually took the time to complete. I totally agree about the music, this game had some really nice background songs.
I like your Harry Potter reviews, and your videos are well made. keep up the good work!
nice review man, I've played this game on and off since I was a kid. a really under rated RPG for the gameboy you should make more videos like this!
3:07 "You should know better!" is called "Good Studying Habits" in the third RPG game, but both effectively increase the experience gained from battles.
how the hell do you only have 653 subs your content is amazing
I loved the music from the first game. To this day I still hum some of the tunes
The money situation plays a role in New Game Plus, where you keep all of your progress but replay the story. You still have more damage output and defense to strive for.
Your content is great. I had no idea these games has a 3rd one.
The game was a bit to easy.
All you needed to do was upgrade your spells by training in the hospital wing for half an hour.
And you could take on anyone.
Man, you're getting way too few views for the quality and effort you put into these videos! Keep on!
Thanks so much! You know, it would be pretty cool if you shared this video with your friends and help me get just a few more eyes on these videos 😄
It's because the genre has already been done thousands of times.
I should point out, the composer for the first 4 books' games, for the main version, was Jeremy Soule, who is most known for being the composer behind the Elder Scrolls series. So... Having his Harry Potter soundtrack bitcrushed, for a turn-based RPG, that will forever be amazing to say the least. God I loved these games as a kid...
But, just wait till you see the main 3 games on the current gen(at the time) consoles, they're SUPER blatant Zelda ripoffs, but I don't think that's a bad thing myself.
I just found your channel and I enjoyed this video sooo much! Gonna go and binge watch your other videos as well!
Yeah when I was a little kid I had a problem with trying to defeat Aragog because my small child brain back then didn't know that I can level up, revive, and heal! 😑
Now when I got older, and more wiser in playing video games, I finally managed to beat the game less than 24 hours and was able to play it again on the same save slot to get the other card deck so I will end up becoming a God every time I want to play the same save slot over and over again.
i have all the harry potter games on ps2 and ps1 good times
I played them on PC. If I had the technology, I'd *absolutely* do videos on them.
thanks i wold cool see
iv played this game many times is a understatement. there was only a few wizard cards i couldn't get or find.
In Sorcerer's Stone there were a couple tricks... Well Four.
1. Once you get Mucus Ad Nauseum and Locomotor Wibbly, any boss is a joke. Paralyze them, poison, then just try to flee while they are paralyzed to skip turns or paralyze them once that wears off, since the poison stays and hits. HARD.
2. When Hagrid asks you to get chickens, don't return to him once you caught enough. Just keep killing them (specially with Flipendo Trio if you got it) and you'll be getting levels every 1 to 6 battles depending on your level. Since Level Up refills SP and MP...
3. Found myself farming up items at the hallway for the Astrology Tower A LOT after the above. Enemies were just annoying at worst, and at best I'd be getting two pair of robes or gloves, which I could sell for a premium.
Please make a sequel to this, I wanted to hear someone talk about these games, nobody ever talks about them!
Tomorrow :)
I feel like the whole book series should have been handheld rpgs like the first 3. Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows would have been the bomb with these mechanics.
man this is a great video. I've played the two first games for GBA, and i thought that the RPG from the 3rd movie literally came from scratch, but now i know they where 2 RPG prequels for the GBC. Thank you for such gaming history!
I remember my older sister’s friend buying me this game for my 8th birthday. I had a crush on her and I was a huge HP fan so This game is very special to me. I need to buy it and play it again
The third one was the best, nostalgia
This game is my childhood for some reason, i only had 2 games for this console bc they were EXTREMELY hard to get where i lived so rip
Yay! Loved this game so much, definitely one of my personal favourites
Are we ever going to get the sequel??
I am waiting for next game
I had Sorcerer’s Stone on GBC, I believe that game and Pokémon are what shaped my taste in video games
How can we imagine nowadays than a videogame would be based on the book and not on the film. That is what makes games based on film most of the time simple, boring and so comercial, but surpricely those Game Boy versions that would supose to be the worst, were for far the best in my point of view. Sadely only came out two of then, although the third part in Game Boy Advance was prety good too.
Thank you for this review, i though that only me remenber how especial were those two games and I have very good childhood memories of them. Greetings from Madrid, Spain.
I’ve been stuck on the Aragog boss for 20 years.
I cant believe I never played any of these games as a kid! I loved Harry Potter, loved RPGs, and I owned and loved my GBC and GBA. These games should have been a no-brainer, I dunno how I missed them! Anyways, pls make the Prisoner of Azkaban review soon!
Yeah.I like both color games very much but what I most liked about this game was definitely the minigames the music was pretty nice yes
when people tell me that all movie licensed games are shit I immediately laugh in their face and show them this among other games like Sweet home
YEAH! i was waiting for this review for so long!
After seeing your review of the first game i was...concerned. i thought you wouldn't like this game. This particular game dominated my childhood and made me the happiest little young gamer ever. I have never played the first one, so i feared you would blame this game on the faults of the first one. I am delighted to see such a postive, yet honest and grounded review. The hype for this review was worth it!
I have the GBA version of this game, it's way different, not sure if better, only thing that is reminiscent of the GBC version is the music.
Money was easy to get.
There is a Bush under the quidditch arena if you search it it would have a silver horn of a unicorn.
They sell for a good bit.
Also easy to farm seeing as you opens menu press b to leave press a to pick up and repeat. Some how the menu respawned the item
Ultra late to the video, my apologies
My biggest gripe with the first and second handheld games is the simple fact that equipment does not cross over with NG+
Why yes i LOVE the idea of gaining a super powerful item in the LAST DUNGEON, Scorcerer's Stone!!! Why yes i LOVE having to repurchase my items once again, CoS!!!
I sorta get why for the first one with the school supplies run but the second has zero excuse
Thankfully, the third game fixes this problem
Can't wait for the next reviews. Meanwhile, you can sprinkle some other content in between, to keep us entertained, I won't mind.
Loved the Chamber of Secrets, I used to keep playing and replaying the same save file, having over 99+ hours on it lol
sorry but there was an inventory screen i thought i knew everythign about the game but this always slipped my mind
Best Harry Potter Game ever
Oh this is gbc and I played them in Gba it's because they are different versions
What a masterpiece
If only they will port them over
I wish they would remaster this game like they did with links awakenin. I LOVE this game
im at the point in the game right before you sneak out to Hagrids and yes the money is out of control pretty much no grind that I have found yields enough.. maybe the dueling club but generally I have to go heal afterwards. Some of the equipment I can buy now is absurdly high priced not even worth buying they dont even buy your old items for that much
I loved this game as a kid. Too bad I could never beat Aragog.
When I played this game I was on my Pokemon phase. Loved it and I wished I could afford the 1st. Why the 3rd one was completely different ? I got used to imagine Hogwarts like in the GBC version.
jeremy soule soundtrack in 8 bits i have to play this just because of that
I really liked this game as a kid, finished it several times and tried a couple different playthroughs. The things is, I had no one to swap trading cards so I could never have all the collection or use that one combo that requires a card from the other deck :/
There are two 'books' with cards you can fill. Both are identical but missing a few cards from eachother. So what you do is: You do one playthrough with book 1 and the other with book 2, getting all the cards in the end.
The only games I really had on GBC were Pokemon Gold, Crystal and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The only games worth playing back then!
Ya missed out on the Oracle games, Link's awakening, Super Mario Deluxe, and Shantae.
Probably my most nostalgic game.
I have this game, and I really don't play it anymore.
What I found to be the most frustrating thing about this game was the battling. In my experience, the battles felt like you were depending on luck rather than skill.
How do you even beat the bosses like that?
I remember trying to defeat Aragon many, many times before beating him.
I had an entire joke about Aragog being cheap that I ultimately cut from the video. The bosses are a big reason why the game is just "pretty good" instead of "damn awesome."
@@MaxMarriner I don't Aragon even GAVE you a change to fight. Immediately when you start the boss, Aragog, starts vomiting webs at you, and that stuns you for quite a while, making you vulnerable.
And it seemed like Aragon wasn't vulnerable to any spell you thew at him!
I also review _Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone_ for the PC here:
www.potterforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=60697&p=2050636
I'll also review _Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets_ for the PC, too.
Check out my parody hack of the game, Hairy Fucker and the Chamber of Semen!
It should be available on baddesthacks website.
But this game has so much in it along with an amazing soundtrack from Magicaltimebean. Although Hogwarts Floor 4-7 can hurt my ears sometimes :P
I never noticed that the battles go by faster in the sequel.
I don't agree with what you said about money. You almost never NEED money besides maybe with the last boss and aragog.
I didn't like the Sorcerer's Stone soundtrack in some ways, but I thought there were a few tracks that were even better than Chamber of Secrets, like the last boss theme or the forbidden forest theme.
Prisoner of Azkaban GBA is like a lamer version of this game. Still some good music in it, though.
Great video! Loved the game.
Ah yes, my introduction to Harry Potter (yes, seriously) I just wish all the other handheld games were RPGs (besides Prisoner of Azkaban of course)
Now I'm sad I didn't get cos but sorcerer's stone instead
Angeela? I thought it was a Ford Anglia.
I actually looked up how to pronounce “Angila” before recording narration and that’s the pronunciation I found sooooooo 🤷🏼♂️
After watching your videos i feel like i want to look for a game boy and play
Thank’s
I’d do anything to go back to 2002
I don't like the battle system in chamber of secrets its not quick or prisoner of Azkaban.
So retro! Also 100th comment!
Of course you never get enough money-it’s EA who published the game; what did you expect?
they do *not* look identical, the spritework in Chamber of Secrets is *w a y* better.
I don't understand why they put just to Harry Potter fighting in the map ooh I can see Ron and Hermione too. I prefer the other version wich is not rpg but I played azkaban rpg and I liked it.
Good Video
Its an Anglia, not an 'anjila"
Did you do the game cubee exclusive?
I have not covered Chamber of Secrets on Gamecube. I bought it used a few months back and I liked what I played!
Prisoner of Azkaban GBA review?!
Coming soon!
who still has this game in 2019
Yes, more pls (subbed)
Could you review Chamber of Secrets on the GBA? It's much different and frankly better than this one.
JK Rowling is good and Max Marriner is bad now : /
