Gameplay
The game is based on the first four books and films of the Harry Potter series: Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. The main playable characters are Harry, Ron and Hermione. The game features a total of 167 characters who can be unlocked by finding the special tokens hidden around the Hogwarts secret places and level missions, and then buying them Madam Malkin's. The sub-missions include seeking for Red Bricks, the Golden Bricks, the mentioned Character Tokens, saving Hogwarts students and the True Wizard achievements. Harry and his friends will learn in the Hogwarts castle how to use spells, charms, jinxes, and preparing potions, as well they will visit a lot of familiar places like Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest or Hogsmeade.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

 * Albus Dumbledore does not use the Deluminator to take all the lights out.
 * The cat at Privet Drive is not the Animagus form of Minerva McGonagall but just a normal tabby.
 * Piers Polkiss does not appear.
 * Vernon Dursley's hair and moustache colour is brown, but in the Book it's black.
 * Harry Potter did not return to the Cupboard under the stairs after Vernon Dursley tore up the letter from Hogwarts.
 * The letters from Hogwarts come from more places in the Dursley home, such as the toaster, the washing machine, and in between the windshield-wipers on their car when driving to the beach.
 * In the movie Vernon tries to shoot Hagrid with a Double Barrel Shot-gun but in the game Hagrid simply scares the Dursleys by barging through the back, scaring them and causing them to break.
 * The goblin that Hagrid showed Harry's keys to, appeared to have been taking notes. But when the goblim goes to fetch Griphook, Hagrid caught a glimpse of the paper, revealing simply to be a hoiuse.
 * In the game Griphook opens Vault 712 which has a goblins disco to the Harry Potter theme.
 * In the movie Ron, Harry and Hermione get scared of Fluffy. In the game Ron pulls out a Trumpet and plays "Hedwig's Theme" (albeit very badly).
 * In the book and film, Hermione hides in the bathroom because Ron made fun of her. In the game, she cries because Malfoy threw a brownie at her face before dinner.
 * There are some differences in the unicorn part:
 * 1) There's a sick unicorn at Hagrid's Hut. Malfoy unintentionally scares the unicorn, and it runs off into the forbidden forest.
 * 2) Hagrid treats his sick unicorn like a child, cradling it in a blanket, taking its temprature, and making it lay in bed.
 * 3) Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Fang and Malfoy go into the forbidden forest to find the unicorn.
 * 4) Voldemort simply creeps up on the unicorn, and attempts to eat it, using a fork and knife, but never killed it.
 * 5) Voldemort attempts to kill the unicorn after Firenze scares him.
 * Harry and Hermione have to fight Voldemort/Quirrell. In the movie Hermione goes and gets Dumbledore.
 * Harry, Ron & Hermione see Quirrell walking up the stairs to the forbidden corridor. And when they enter they are seen by Quirrell when they enter Fluffy's room. In the film and book they don't know who wants to steal the Stone until the last room, though they believe it to be Snape.
 * When Harry touches Voldemort in the face, his parents applaud for him in the Mirror of Erised. When Harry is knocked unconscious by Voldemort, Harry's parents yell to Voldemort.
 * Voldemort spins Quirrell's head to see his face and fight Harry and Hermione.
 * Snape doesn't get bitten by Fluffy.
 * The Norbert part is only available in a time-turner mission where you have to help Hagrid to heat Norbert's egg.
 * Ron doesn't fall unconscious during the chess-game. Instead, he falls over the chess sword while following Harry & Hermione to the last room.
 * Snape and Quirrell do not have a confrontation during Harry's search in the restricted section.
 * Ron searches with Harry in the Restricted Section.
 * In the book and film, Ron sees himself in the Mirror of Erised as head boy, Quidditch captain, and winner of the Quidditch Cup. In the game, he sees himself in a Quidditch uniform, and Hermione appears to kiss him on the cheek.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

 * Gilderoy Lockhart's wand does not get thrown out the window or been taken away.
 * Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk has a scarlet plume on his head (meaning it is a male, instead of female in the novel).
 * Hermione's note about the Chamber of Secretsis just a picture of a basilisk and a pipe.
 * Ginny is awake and playable in the Chamber of Secrets, though this is, as with Hermione during the Quirrell boss fight, a feature to make it more co-op friendly.
 * The basilisk notices Harry when Ginny screams at one of his disembodied eyes.
 * When Mrs. Mason is hit by the pudding, Dudley starts to eat the pudding from her head.
 * The Dursleys have a sign in their room which is supposed to mean: "No wands used in this house!".
 * During the Quidditch match, Hermione notices Dobby cursing the Bludger. In the book and movie, Harry finds out when he is already in the hospital wing.
 * When Harry enters his room at Privet Drive, Dobby is throwing his books in the trash can. Because Harry might not go back to Hogwarts.
 * The Dursleys install a security fence in their backyard, in addition to the bars on Harry's window.
 * Ron and Harry do not facially transform into Crabbe and Goyle, respectively. They merely wear their robes and hairstyles like a hat.
 * Armando Dippet is absent.
 * The Dursleys aren't wearing formal clothing during their meeting with the Masons.
 * Fred and George don't come to rescue Harry, but in the novel they do.
 * The Polyjuice potion does not take a month to brew, although this is deliberately done to save time.
 * Molly Weasley does not send a howler to Ron for stealing the car.
 * Ron's broken wand is only shown to malfunction twice, during an optional scene in Hagrid's garden where Ron spits slugs, and when Lockhart attempts to use it to erase Harry and Ron's memories.
 * Ginny's messages aren't written in blood, since this game is more family orientated.
 * In the novel and the film, after the Flying Ford Anglia saved Harry and Ron from Aragog, they have to get in. But in the game, the Flying Ford Anglia includes a light-blue flying scooter that Harry rides to escape from Aragog and get out of the Forbidden Forest with Ron in the car.
 * Lavender Brown is absent.
 * Aragog chases Ron and Harry but in the book and the film it is Aragog's family who chases them.
 * The garden gnomes are featured in the Burrow's garden unlike in the film.
 * Harry and Ginny fighting the Slytherin's basilisk together. While in the movie and the book, Ginny wakes up only after Harry defeat the basilisk alone.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

 * In the book and film the black dog appears in front of Harry out from the bushes but in the game he is seen on a playground roundabout.
 * In the film, Harry throws snowballs with the Invisibility Cloak to Draco for calling Hermione a mudblood. In the game Draco makes an igloo and uses it like a tank to shoot snowballs.
 * When Harry casts Expecto Patronum on dementors, they instantly vanish, instead of being repelled away like in the book and film (although in the cutscenes they are simply repelled).
 * Bill Weasley and Charlie Weasley are absent.
 * When the Knight Bus passes between two London Buses it does not squeeze itself as well as everything in it like in the film. Instead it stretches itself upwards allowing the bus to make itself thinner brick-by-brick.
 * Stan Shunpike doesn't appear as the Knight Bus conductor, but he is a playable character.
 * Cornelius Fudge doesn't talk to Harry when he arrives at the Leaky Cauldron.
 * Kellah and Bem are absent, he does not have to wear his Invisibility Cloak unlike in the Book or the Film; Draco does not run to tell on Harry, unlike the events in the Book, because that would cause confusion.
 * Aunt Marge starts to mention Harry's parents when she finds a picture of them.
 * Buckbeak does not appear to break Malfoy's arm, since he is able to use it to point at Hagrid without effort.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

 * Viktor Krum's hair has a flat top, but in the film his hair is shaved off.
 * The Quidditch World Cup match between Ireland and Bulgaria is omitted. Is replaced by the Death Eaters' attack to the camp.
 * Cedric Diggory teams up with Harry during the second and final challenges.
 * Cedric Diggory does get killed by Voldemort, during the escape, however Dumbledore shows Amos Diggory instructions to re-build his son, so Cedric does not actually die in the game.
 * The dragon chases Harry and Hermione inside the Hogwarts castle as well.
 * Frank Bryce is absent, to be replaced by a milkman.
 * The Golden Egg is floating over fire.
 * Nigel Wespurt is absent.
 * Hermione is in the dragon chase.
 * Voldemort allows his Death Eaters to attack Harry although in the book and film he orders them to stand down so as to allow himself to kill Harry
 * The Yule Ballhas been omitted, despite being able to purchase certain characters in their formal wear.
 * The Cho Chang meeting in the Owlery is also absent, as there is no Yule Ball taking place.
 * Harry does not use his Invisibility Cloak to get a sneak peek at the dragons.
 * Igor Karkaroff's aide is absent.
 * The game features all the four dragons of the First Task, unlike in the film in which they're only mentioned some of them: the Chinese Fireball (red), the Common Welsh Green (green), the Swedish Short-Snout (blue) and the Hungarian Horntail.
 * In the Third Task there is a giant living sphinx statue and the riddle of the acromantula written in a wall of the labyrinth as well as an acromantula itself. The sphinx and the acromantula part is not featured in the film but in the book is featured.
 * Crabbe, Goyle, and Nott are absent, but they appear as generic death eaters.
 * The Pensieve scene where Harry finds out about Barty Crouch Jr. is omitted.
 * Peter Pettigrew uses Harry's glasses instead of his blood to revive Voldemort. This is probably to make it more kid friendly. Also when Voldemort comes out he is shown with his glasses when he comes out and then tosses it back to Harry.
