Have you played Sarah from pcs games? In terms of accessible harry potter
games that is very much first on the list.
Regarding other games, there is a legend of the green dragon mod based
around harry potter called hogwarts live. Gameplay seemed pretty standard
for Logd, fight monsters in the forbidden forest with a wand until your
tough enough to take on lord voldemort, but it had characters from the books
and a couple of extra mechanics like school houses and house points.
I've heard of a couple of forum based rp games, one called hogwarts extreme
for example, but those are basically role play only with little to no
mechanics.
In general myself I still think Sarah is the best theme for a game and
likely the best model for one either, play a game specific character and
explore the hp world, rather than trying to emulate one of the books
completely since the books are as much about the investigation, the mystery
and the character as the magic, monsters and combat.
That's why I tend to think much as with a startrek or Doctor who game you'd
be better with a game set around! the potter universe rather than one with
specific game characters. for example, how about an exploration action game
in which you played an official working for the department for the
regulation and control of magical creatures and were tasked (possibly with
the assistance of Hagrid, grorp, fang, firense and dobby), with wandering
through the forests and mountains around hogwarts castle (and maybe the lake
too), looking for the various creatures such as giants, magically controlled
snakes and dementors which Voldemort used in his army, (perhaps along with
any hiding death eaters), and having to either stun or remove them as a
threat.
That would be the perfect setting for an exploration action game, say either
another fps like Sarah or even a side scroller, and yet would be quite fine
within the hp universe and not require something as ridiculous as having
harry traverse levels of jumps and crazy traps.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

I know that there is a thread dealing with Harry Potter muds, but I am not
into muds, so I have not been following that thread. Anyone know of any
accessible games that deal with the Harry Potter series?
