Prisoner of Azkaban is Still Fantastic! 

Yeah dude, this game really stood out back in the day.. Flying with Buckbeak over the Hogwarts grounds was amazing.

Hermione fixing her hair with magic is like, the moment you really start to understand how much effort they put into this game. Because like, you've already gone through so many unique areas, and they're still putting a ton of effort into animations for these little one-off moments. Licensed games peaked here.

I don't know why I find Snape turning around coughing like he smokes 3 packs a day hilarious

I am VERY distracted by how good the lip syncing on this game is, it looks like they did straight motion capture, every word they say looks like it's being said by the characters..I love little stuff like that.

Prisoner of Azkaban: Has 0 beans Goblet of fire: Every 5 seconds A BEAN

Ron in the movies: basically useless Ron in the games: THE CHOSEN ONE

Can't believe how good this game still looks.

I'm really impressed by the facial animation work in this game. It's so expressive and fun to watch.

1:16 "When Ron says 'piss off' in the movie, I think that's when we all turned into proper adults. Incorrect, sir. I turned into an adult when Ron said "I'm not gonna take any CRAP from Malfoy this year" in the book.

Best part of the game was how Buckbeak would always kick the shit out of Ron whenever he tried to ride.

This being played as the developer intended: On an actual real PS2

I grew up playing this game on the GameCube. I'm so happy that people are still discovering it. The Harry Potter games don't have a great history or reputation, but the third one is definitely a stand out. Love to see it.

I could not stop laughing when Snape just started coughing all over the place 🤣

I’d beat this game by walking the entire game and never running because i wanted it to be as realistic as possible

This beginning train sequence gave me nightmares as a kid; it took me forever to get past it. I actually was scared of these things. Later in the game when Harry is alone in the test room with a dementor; that part took me forever to beat as well. I'd even restart the game just to enjoy going through the game again, then I'd end up back to that dementor trial with Harry. I was so proud to have beaten that part lol

Some notes for next time: you in fact can search the bookshelves for beans and other stuff, you can actually attack the vases (more than once if I remember correctly) and they drop beans. And you can search some of the trunks in the common rooms

The character models in this game look like it was made using the motion capture tech from Sims 2. I know there is a specific name for the hardware/software they used for this, and I know 100% it exists online still but for the life of me I can't find it again. There was like this helmet you would wear with essentially a Gopro on the front of it pointed back at the user that was extremely good at capturing eye movement specifically and this game looks like it used that considering how specifically bug eyed everyone is. Not like it matters nowadays but especially for this generation of videogames it's extremely fascinating looking back on it when you can trace back how developers make something.

Wow I really like the art style this game was going for! It genuinely looks good and it definitely helped the game age better.

"Why is Scabbers here? He's a ped--" I haven't read these books in a long time, got this one confused with Goblet.

Nostalgia critic outside the train window is even more terrifying than the dementors

I love the whimsical charm of the early HP games.

this one was not only my favorite harry potter game, but it's honestly one of my favorite video games in general. obviously, the nostalgia plays a part in that, but it's also just so dang fun--clever puzzles and secrets, solid environmental storytelling, some good laughs. I also felt like this one was uniquely aware of the books and injected a lot of subtle details from it, while the other games just drew from the movies.

"This is really heavy" If only there was a spell that could lift heavy objects...

Ron backing down the stairway while staring Harry down at 11:26 is a bit unsettling

When Snape was coughing while he caught Harry I was coughing from laughing ^^

Harry in the -main menu- whole game looks like someone rubbed a balloon on his head

Ron IS unironically the most op character in this game tbh. Infinite provisions and beans!

The voice actors for game Ron/Hermione/Harry were perfect. Always liked that about the PS2 games.

Speaking of Spyro, I think that would make for a delightful let’s play

These are some of the best models I've ever seen from that era of consoles.

Ron's icon looks like the character's icon in the chatbox when you speak to someone in banjo kazooie or Runescape

”Echgehgehg” -Snape

Yes! This game aged really, really well. I've always thought that the gameplay was incredible for its time. I hope they make a remake of the series (in games).

In case someone hasnt already said ron can look through bookshelves for beans and such and those jars can be hit to give beans and the gold goblets

The harry potter games up to azkaban and spiderman 2 where the excellence of how good a movie tie in game could be.

Loved this game as a kid. It felt magical to explore the castle and roleplay daily life.

1:30 Ron's playstation glow up is like Neville Longbottom's real life glow up

Forget Defence Against The Dark Arts. Hogwarts needs to teach Defence Against The Deadly Books.

I can’t get over how good the character models and mouth movement is for 2004

That stealthy part of the game always scared me when I played the game as a kid because of the way Snape would start coughing his guts up whenever he caught me.

The Christmas special brought me here. This was the only Harry Potter game I had back in the day, I loved it. But I remembered Snape catching you after hours and just Coughing so loudly lmfao. That really confused me, I remember getting mildly annoyed like… what kind of a reaction is that?! Pointing at you shaking his head and just coughing his lungs out hahahaha thanks for the nostalgia trip Micky. I’m loving all these playthroughs

I played this game to death and never remembered Snape randomly coughing like wtf lol. They couldn't put a voice line to say like "What are you doing here?" lmao

When my hyper fixation of the week was the Harry Potter games I was so sad to find that the PC versions were all but abandoned but I at least got serotonin from still having a working console copy of this game, it's one of my favorites.

First HP game I ever played, absolutely love this one, SF intro is iconic!

Why are the cutscenes made like in a Devil May Cry game?

i had so much fun playing the first 3 harry potter games. honestly i feel that they deserve a remaster

10:50 That painting reminded me of something from Chessington World of Adventures. The animation looked very similar to something I would've seen there as a kid.

I remember having this game on GameCube and I was obsessed 😂😍

It has been a real joy seeing your editing skills improving over time. Your videos are getting better and better quality without losing the hilarity of the content, keep up the fantastic work!

Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of fire were the only Harry Potter games I played growing up. I had no idea that there were elements from the previous games carried over into Azkaban. Brilliant video

Ah, just like how I remember good ol' Snape... a chain-smoker with chronic bronchitis.

I absolutely love the lil effects Micky adds in the video, especially the oblivion npc music

The Oblivion music kills me... :'D

I remember playing the Gameboy Advanced version of this game as a kid, which was basically just a Final Fantasy re-skin really, random encounters, turn-based combat and all. Didn't understand what was happening like half the time but still had a blast. Good times. Thanks for indulging my nostalgia, kind reader

I loved how they looked like Sims in this game!

Hm this look really different from the PC version. Can' t wait to watch the whole thing and see what's the difference. So far it looks good.

I adored this game. I played it over and over! I have such great memories of playing this on my tiny TV 🤣🤠

I remember that some of the facial expressions are pretty funny and the characters move around like robots in cutscenes.

I like that the graphics and facial animation rigs are literally just PS2 Sims. Really adds to the overall nostalgia and I think it made the game age better.

I love how Harry Hermione and Ron are posed the same way the characters pose on the Unit select screen of Classic Star Wars Battlefront

This game is still amazing even after all these years. I'll go back and play this anyday. I laughed so hard, I would live to see a full playthrough lol.

The Best Harry Potter Movie Game and basically a child version of Metal Gear Solid mixed with Zelda

Oof this was my most FAVOURITE game as kid, shame that I can´t play this anymore (ever again)! Even the sounds...ahh

This is my first time watching one of your videos and you humor is what won me over can't wait for part 2.

The way you say "i want Capri Sun" is weirdly satisfying lmao

This is my first time watching you and i already subscribed. i laughed alot in this video XD

I like how the PC version was always different from the console versions

I recently discovered that they released chamber of secrets on ps1, and it looks just as broken and beautiful as sorcerers stone. Idk if I speak for everyone, but I’d definitely love to see you tackle that beast lol

You're in for an absolute treat playing this honestly. I replayed it not so long ago and it's bloody good fun! Can't wait to watch more.

Looks like Ron forgot that there’s literally a levitation spell, while they were on the train.

I remember this game, honestly really fun

I clicked so fast on this video, I am absolutely ecstatic you’re playing this.

I remember playing and really liking this game as a kid. Never finished it though because the game would freeze during one of the last cutscenes.

I like videos when I get my first out-loud laugh. 50 seconds in this time, top tier

“Friends is a TV show” over the Frasier image actually made me giggle

Yay, been waiting for this! Looks good! Also cutscene edits are perfect.

I love your editing for the harry potter videos. All the little references and such are hilarious! :)

I love how at the end of this game you could run around and do whatever even though the main task were finished

I remember playing this through the night when I was like 9. Had such a good time.

Yes! Been looking forward to this one. Please play all the games!

I spent hours on hours back in them ps2 games replaying this over and over again, it had so much to explore for back then

OMG you crouch-walking away from couhgin snape had me in tears

Hey, I think that other picture on the dormitory wall is of a football team. I remember one of the muggle born or half blood Gryffindors had a football poster in the books and the others found it odd cus it was a muggle game where the balls didn't move on their own. Neat touch!

This game was the literal definition of magic in my childhood

0:43 I'd 100% play Ron and Scabber

This was my favourite game as a kid, exploring the castle but also new levels that were super cool, not to mention the buckbeak sections

Wow, the graphics really held up way better than i thought

I have all the hp games but im too lazy to set up my game systems so i love watching peoples playthroughs who do commentary because I find it so entertaining 🤣

Whoa! I literally just finished watching the movie before I opened RU-vid to see this.

WHY DO THE CUTSCENES LOOK SO GOOD

Good lord, this really takes me back. Used to play this all the time when I went to my Gran's to the point where I was able to consistently beat it in the span of a single afternoon.

“What was that thing?” “it’s Scabbers, eat up”

Never even occurred to me that I could relive my nostalgia through other people. I’ll have to watch the rest of the series, I hope you have a solid 10 hours of flying the hippogriff around so I can get the full experience

The fact that they made expelliamus a shield spell when their was already a perfectly good protago that already existed really boils my blood.

Open-eyed Hermione is proper nightmare fuel

I've only played Harry Potter games on pc and besides HP6 on PC, this is definitely my favorite.. It was cute and scary when needed. Very entertaining that you can play with all 3 and have tests and everything.

Distracted by the painting while Ron is doing some weird sorcery down the steps at 11:25 lol

"Which one of you dies again?" ... I did not need that

0:37 “Dougmentor! Dougmentor!”

Apparently they played the wrong sound file when Snape catches you, has the right line played in other languages
