Here's what happens in the PS1 version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets if you try to visit the other places besides the Magical Menagerie and Mr. Mulpepper's Apothecary. You never visit Eeylops Owl Emporium, Gringotts or Ollivanders, unlike the PS1 version of Sorcerer's Stone, but you do visit Mr. Mulpepper's Apothecary, unlike the PS1 version of Sorcerer's Stone. The Diagon Alley map in this game was re-used from the PS1 version of the previous game, but with a winter theme used instead. In both PS1 Harry Potter games, you never get to explore Diagon Alley before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, but he does return to Diagon Alley with Hagrid at some point later on in the plot where you get to explore the area. In the case of the first game, it's to get ingredients for the Dragon Tonic while in the case of the second game, it's to get the leeches and lacewing flies for the Polyjuice Potion. You never get to explore Diagon Alley in the PC versions of the first two games as well as the GBA version of Sorcerer's Stone. You do get to explore Diagon Alley in both Game Boy Color Harry Potter games and the 6th generation console versions of Chamber of Secrets. You never get to explore Diagon Alley in the Prisoner of Azkaban video game which was in the novel, but not the film. Neither shop you visit in Diagon Alley in the PS1 version of Chamber of Secrets has been made into physical LEGO form.
I'm proud of myself for having 100% LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga twice which is very hard because it takes 80-100 hours to do so and I nearly vomited when doing so the second time. There are a lot of video games that you can 100% in less time than that. I feel sorry for anyone who was disappointed with the game such as Quick Brick Games and myself because of the super short levels, the Free Play mode being so broken (such as some of the major boss fights barely supporting Free Play as they don't let you switch your character), and the bugs and glitches like sky textures flickering on open-world planets that were never fixed for some reason. The character info for the game should've explained when they debuted in Star Wars media of any kind, much like how both LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 & LEGO DC Super-Villains have info when a character made their comic book debut in the character info which feels great. I find the TT LEGO games without Star Wars to be a lot more fun such as LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, LEGO Batman: The Videogame, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, LEGO City Undercover, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, LEGO The Hobbit, all three LEGO Marvel games, LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO The Incredibles and LEGO DC Super-Villains.
The LEGO Movie Videogame and The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame both shouldn't have used cutscenes with footage from the films and they should've stuck with in-game cutscenes only which Quick Brick Games has a good point about when he ranked the worst five TT LEGO games prior to the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. There are other movie-based games with that problem like Toy Story 2, The Polar Express, Revenge of the Sith and Batman Begins which leads to continuity errors. All the Harry Potter video games avoid using footage from the movies for the cutscenes which is the right thing. There have been other movie-based games that also avoided using footage from the movies like the video games based on the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films and GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64.
Both PS1 Harry Potter games feel a lot better than Phineas & Ferb video games such as feeling longer and having a harder difficulty which is what gamers prefer. I say the same thing about the first three Harry Potter games on the PC as well.
Here's what I pick as the worst five TT LEGO games both before and after LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga came out:
#1 LEGO Worlds
#2 The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame
#3 LEGO Dimensions
#4 LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
#5 LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Quick Brick Games has never covered a LEGO game on DS or the 3DS. I wouldn't want him to cover the DS version of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy because it's full of bugs and glitches, even after it was re-released and it's forgettable. It'd be cool to see him cover all three unique entries of Bionicle Heroes which are the home console and PC versions, the GBA version and the DS version.
The way it is with this game and unique entries is that this version is the PS1 version which is a unique entry with no ports while the Game Boy Color version is a unique entry with the same name, but a completely different game.
I disagree with Camp Xbox saying that the 2003 release of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone video game on NGC, PS2 & Xbox is decent and when ChrisBond21 Review Show gave it a 7/10 because it's so awful in every way that TheEnglishman called it "magically atrocious" and gave it a 1/5 and he has a good point why you should ignore it and play the PS1 & PC versions instead.
