It has been quite a long while since I played through the early build of Harry Potter 2 (PC) that was leaked to the speedrunning Community a couple of years ago mainly because it stopped worked on my PC and just kind of kept on crashing. But due to the kind help of BoostingMantis it is now back on track and working properly so we can discover all the fun and interesting ideas they originally had for the game again. And at the same time it did make me a bit sad seeing how much they still had to change it in the end and how bad the crunch for that must have been...
I don't think I have ever attempted a 100% Speedrun of this version before so that made for an interesting new experience, thankfully most of the cards and collectables were sort of in the same spots as in the original game already so it wasn't overly difficult to find everything in the end. Plus some level didn't have a secret tracker enabled yet somehow making those even easier to 100% which was quite fun to see, overall I really liked trying this Category for a build this old and to figure out what the small differences between them are regarding 100%.
Unfortunately since this is a sort of Alpha build that certainly did show while playing it and we ran into a ton of Softlocks and other Glitches & Crashes that made the run quite lengthy and playing the game a bit tedious at times. But with a bit of patience and a lot of Game restarts we still got to finish it in the end and I personally had a great time with it! I hope you are going to enjoy the 100% Speedrun of this interesting build as well today and that you will be able to ignore the plenty tech issues that came along with it, have fun!
