Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the worst of 5 Harry Potter games.No exploring Hogwarts.No dueling.And horrible graphics.The children could be into it if they like the game called Shrek The Third or The Chronicles of Narnia the lion the witch and the Wardrobe.In GOF players cast charms with the square button and jinxes with the X button wich is eisier than downloading to a wand or using a pad to cast a spell in the other games.The 2 most violent levels to me are The Second Task and Voldemort oh and The Forbidden Forest.

What Parents Need to Know
About Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Parents need to know that this game lets kids explore what magic can do in Harry Potter's world, including curses, jinxes, and spells to defeat a wide range of magical beasts. Some of these beasts are scary looking and many are tenacious and relentless. Cooperation is stressed: At times, the only way to defeat magical foes is for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to jointly cast magic -- a great lesson for three friends playing together to learn.

THE WORST HP GAME OF ALL
This game was terrible. It is the only Harry Poter game I didn't finish! Skip this game and buy the 5th one when it comes out!

Adventurous
This game is really fun (expecally for DS) and it really gives you a chance to be Harry, Ron, or Hermione. I approve this game for 8+.

Excellent game for young fans
Although rated 10+, my 6 year old couldn't stop playing this game until he'd completed it. I loved the fact that he had to think to complete the challenges and work together with others to suceed. The scenes are much darker than the previous games, but that didn't seem to put my son off who just enjoyed being able to use his wand more. Great for Harry Potter fans!
