Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone in the United States) is an action-adventure with platformer elements video game, developed by KnowWonder, Warthog, Griptonite, Argonaut, Eurocom and Westlake Interactive and published by Electronic Arts. It is based on J.K Rowlings novel of the same name and the film adaptation. Philosophers Stone was initially developed for the PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Mac OS X in November 2001, and was re-made two years later for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube in December 2003. The story follows protagonist Harry Potter, who discovers he is a wizard, and is sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he makes friends and receives magical training, and along with his friends stop Lord Voldemort from returning to power. The game received mixed reviews. Critics commented on the games accessible gameplay and its unimpressive graphics (2003 versions) while others said the games license would be the only thing to draw in fans.
