This was Hogwarts in 2002! ⚡️
There is just something about the hum of a real CRT and the click of a mechanical keyboard that brings these games back to life. No emulation here—we’re running Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on native Windows XP hardware, just like the day it launched.
From the stress of dodging the Whomping Willow to that iconic XP "Welcome" screen, this era of PC gaming hit different. It felt like you were actually there.
Did you play this one on PC or a console back in the day? Let’s hear your favorite early Potter gaming memories in the comments! 👇

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇
Hey, it's Tom from Texas! Floppy Deep Dive is dedicated to Real Hardware and Real Nostalgia. No emulators. No filters. Just the crackle of the CRT and the mechanical grind of the disk drive.
I make these videos for the folks who spent Saturdays swapping floppies and still get chills when the SID chip kicks in. We dive deep into the Golden Age of PC gaming, reignite the classic 8-bit wars (C64 vs Atari!), and hunt down the rarest software on earth. Whether you're Team Commodore, Team Atari, or just miss the 90s, you're in the right place.
The Mission: Preserving the sights, sounds, and "craptacular" quirks of classic computing before they fade away.
🕹️ What You'll Find Here:
The Hardware: Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Amiga, 486 PCs, and more.
The Wars: C64 vs Atari/NES comparisons (Let the debate begin!).
The Hunt: Deep dives into mysterious floppies and forgotten games.
