i loved the freedom in order of the pheonix however the game was no challenge, u could not die and it was too easy the game pretty much told you how to complete it. This game would be awsom if it was the opposite. The book was great so hopefully the game and film will be, i have not been let down by the films yet i have liked every single one.
