Alice sent us an email to let us know Playstation MAX magazine’s cover story is about the Harry Potter games this month. Here’s what the preview says:

Cover of the May 2001 (Issue 32) Playstation MAX magazine

Who you calling a Muggle? This month, MAX goes Harry Potter crazy as the be-spectacled one and his Philosopher’s Stone makes it onto the PS one in our biggest feature ever!

Read all about how you can ride the Gringotts’ mine vault, save Hermione Granger from the Troll, confront Quirrell and sample Bertie Botts Every-Flavour Bean for yourselves! Plus! The MAX team try their hand at Muggle Quidditch, with hilarious (and painful) results.

Here are some of the things we were told the articles says:

  • In Gringotts you go on a rollercoaster-like ride through the caverns and collect coins.
  • The points in the game are “house points” and teachers will give them or deduct them depending on how well you behave and peform tasks.
  • There are broomstick races through the Forbidden Forest against Malfoy.
  • You have to get Ron & Hermione to help youin various tasks, taking advantage of their individual skills.
  • You get to fight the troll!!
  • McGonagall tells you how to do “spells” (i.e various moves) that will help you to survive the game.

Alice did say there were loads of pictures but her scanner was broken. So if you have a scanner, please try and send these pictures and text to us or Harry Potter Galleries and we’ll get them online.
