I love that Ron is programmed to say "bean" everytime he sees one, no matter where it comes from, and you drop beans whenever you get hurt. So whenever Harry gets hurt you just hear Ron in the distance going "A BEAN"🤣🤣🤣
It just sticks with you. I'm 35, I played this as a kid, I still declare "A BEAN" whenever I can. Receiving a jellybean? Dropping a bean from a can when cooking? Admiring my cats' toebeans? A BEAN! This game haunts me...

GOF devs: Say no more: Extremely linear top down POV shooting sections joined together with barely animated cutscenes and beans for collectibles it is! 😀
@haldalas They could not even be bothered to really include a plot in it either lol. Even as a child I hated this one. Had none of the charm that attracted me to the first three.
I have been quoting “A BEAN” since you first played this. I also love that you reference it a lot. I’ve been waiting so long for this, thank you for enduring this absolute nightmare of a game so we don’t have to. The way that Kevin says “death” and “debt” the same so the “Debt Eaters” don’t actually sound too bad.
Little did Kevin know, he didn't have to put his name in the Goblet of Fire because he would only be a 4th contestant, the supposed third person he was planning to replace will still be apart of the game. Silly Kevin.
For awhile I would ask Kevin to play this, over and over, game through game. As soon as I saw what this was I almost dropped my phone trying to get to it.
That Avada Kedavra in the cemitery was iconic, like Wormtail was having an existencial crisis with 4 cigarettes in his mouth while screaming exhasperated at his overcontrolling mother and pulling his greasy hair out.
I remember the true frustration of me playing this as a little kid. Leveling up the characters or whatever you called those cards you got, was awful. Controlling which spell you threw was impossible and the grind was real. It sucked...but I do remember the absolute relief of knowing that I completed it.
*I have watched all of Kevin's Harry Potter playthroughs a dozen times and the Goblet of Fire one was always that outlier with only one video so this is a special occasion!*
Imagine being a Hogwarts student just walking past the defense against the dark arts class and hearing a bunch of crashing, etc. and not only those three but also the professor yelling about beans.
This game was my childhood, I used to replay the same levels over and over again because i didnt know how to unlock new ones. Love seeing Kevin playing it again
While the game has many issues some of the most glaring ones were technically kevins fault. For example: The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels and no story for herbology and the orefects bathroom. Hogwarts exterior is different in that there's no fixed path and all shields are spawned in the first time you play (though you need the herbivicus spell, which you are supposed to learn in herbology, for some).
Same this was the only HP game I never finished because getting all the achievements to get to the next level were SO hard for like 13yr old me. I played the PC one though which I remember having a little bit more than this version.
I played this game after watching you play it a few years ago, it was awful and I've never recovered, seeing you come back and finish it is insane! I feel your pain 😭
yessss love the StarKid clips😂👏🏻 this whole video was a fun surprise, but those clips were just the cherry on top! major props to the editing on this one😁
Hope you are having a good weekend Kevin! Just wanted to thank you again for existing and helping so many of us get through tough times. You inspire me and give me joy when nothing else can. You deserve all the best :)
I started this thinking surely Kevin was exaggerating about Ron “screaming” about beans all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone scream so passionately about anything else before in my life 😂😭
I genuinely wouldn't mind if he did a yearly, seasonal replay of all these games (or perhaps if he played the Game Boy games), it's like replaying them with a friend and It's just so beautiful. Please Kev, do it for Hagrid ❤
It would be nice if he were to continue where he left off (and start the others) with the game boy games, but it would be just as good if he were to replay the other games. Especially the last, uniquely horrible one, that one have such replayability in its awfulness. It would be even better if he were to do both things, but that may be asking for too much. Best to just enjoy the second coming of Hogwarts in Kevins channel for what it is, howerever fleting it may end up being.
I actually want these long videos where he plays the entire game for ALL HP games, including the lego ones, and the game boy ones (i discovered this channel through his full video on prisoner of Azkaban, which is my favourite video of him)
My dad, brother and I loved games 1-3 on the PC. I still remember Christmas morning when my brother and I tried playing this and... all we got was a top down Ron Weasley bean addiction simulator. We played through maybe half of it and then decided we really just weren't having fun. Thanks for letting me relive these memories!
As someone who actually enjoyed the game as a kid, here are some explanations (some of which the game doesn't give): First, why Kevin couldn't find any shields in herbology and the prefects bathroom: The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels. Hogwarts exterior is different in that there's no fixed path and all shields are spawned in the first time you play (though you need the herbivicus spell, which you are supposed to learn in herbology, for some). The spells you use against enemies are determined by "combos"/the state the enemy is in. If you just spam attack against an enemy it will do spell one. If one player lifts the enemy into the air and player 2 attacks, player 2 will cast spell 2. If the enemy is stunned, and then lifted while stunned, it will cast spell 3. etc The characters cards are unlocked via mastery levels. You increase your mastery by performing spells, finding statues, collectibles, etc. After unlocking a card, you can buy it with beans. The cards each offer certain bonuses or abilities. When starting a level, you can select three cards for each character. However, you start out with the "cursor" on the random card button, meaning its very easy to hit it with no idea of the function and just assume you always get random cards. The additional cards such as the creature cards are unlocked by performing said spell on the creature. Ron's cards have the most emphasis on attacks ("curses") and is also the first character to unlock the dual-curse, making him the strongest character imo, especially in the beginning. It's easy to think that the Triwizard Task scores are determined mainly by time, but the far more important factor is the number of beans collected. I spent years of my childhood attempting to reach the Gold speed on the first task but never managed to get faster. Then I realized the level would be a great way to farm beans for Harry, and accidentally achieved gold that way.
So this is an extremely late response, but thank you SO much for your comment! You put a lot of things into perspective within the context of the game; I, along with many others I’m sure, are very appreciative of the time & effort you put into breaking down these specific points & explaining them much more thoroughly!
Never knew that about the different spells, as a kid I could sense it wasn't truly random and there was some kind of pattern determining which spell you fired, but I could never figure it out lol. Thanks!
I was just thinking about how I hoped Kevin would continue these longer videos of the Potter games, given he never finished this one. I’m over the moon for this, schite game and all!
If anyone is wondering why the levels after Defense Against the Dark Arts didn't explain the story, I can explain. So, you have some levels that play the same way everytime, such as the Three Tri-wizard tasks and the Voldemort boss fight. However, you also have levels like Hogwarts Exterior (which is an extension of Defense Against the Dark Arts), Forbidden Forest, Prefects Bathroom, and Herbology. The first time that you play those levels, you are in "story mode". Some paths are blocked off to funnel you towards the story, and you get story cutscenes. Then, because they needed to pad the game out, you are made to return to those levels later to collect Tri-wizard shields to unlock other levels. When you return, you don't start at the beginning point, and you don't play through the story elements again. As far as I know, you cannot trigger the story content a second time, even if you wanted to. Instead, you appear on that stone platform in the level, and the closed paths are opened. So, you have multiple paths to go down for Tri-wizard shields. However, after the Forbidden Forest, Kevin started playing on someone else's save file, due to his problems saving the game. That person must have already completed the story. So, when he went into the Prefect's bathroom, he didn't start in the bathroom, and he didn't see the story content. Ron fumbles Harry's Golden Egg and knocks it into a pipe. That would have prompted the characters to break the wall and go through the area with the steam taps, the pipes, and the various creatures to find the Golden Egg. Instead, he appeared on the stone platform, already behind the broken wall, and wandered around lost instead. I suspect that the person who's save file he used also got all of the Tri-wizard shields already as well. So, there was nothing for him to do in that level. The Herbology level is a similar case. The story mode for that involves fighting your way through the greenhouses to smash a giant hanging pot and get the Gillyweed for Task 2. Once again, the original owner of the save file already did that, and probably already did all the Tri-wizard shields, so there was nothing for him to do. I can also explain how different spells are chosen, since Kevin was having trouble with them. It's based on the game's combo system. You have three types of attacks: Jinx until they are stunned, use a Charm, or Jinx until they are gone. You have two options when you first encounter an enemy. You can either Jinx until they are stunned, or you can use a Charm. If you Jinx until they are stunned, you have two more options. You can either Jinx until they are gone, or you can use a Charm. Once you use a charm, your only option is to Jinx until they are gone. So, any given fight has either two or three stages depending on what combo you are going for. The Dug Bogs are a good way to explain this. If you Jinx them until they are stunned, and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Orchideous. That causes them to explode into pink flowers. If you use a Charm first (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa), and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Orbis. That makes them spin around and then sucks them into the ground. If you Jinx them until they are stunned, then use a Charm (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa), and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Avifors. That makes them explode into black crows. So you have three different combos that you can apply to Dug Bogs right there. There is also a fourth combo that doesn't work very well. The idea is to defeat them using Jinx, but somehow do that without following the pattern of Jinxing until they are stunned followed by Jinxing them until they are gone. I played the game alot back then, and I could never get the combo reliably on most enemies. You know you've done it when they explode into fireworks. But its confusing because that also happens when you drop rocks on them. One of your goals in the game is to grind certain spells enough times to master them. Some spells can only be applied to specific enemies, so you end up killing the same enemies in the same way alot. The most painful example is Ducklifors. You can only use it on the Blast-Ended Skrewts (giant crabs that fire napalm), and there are maybe 2-3 of them in the entire game. So, you have to replay sections over and over again. And the combo for Ducklifors is the more complicated three-stage combo. You have to Jinx them until stunned, then use a Charm (which will result in choosing Aqua Eructo to extinguish them, and then Jinx until they are gone to get credit for one use of Ducklifors. On the other hand, if you use a Charm first (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa, and then Jinx them until they are gone, you get credit for one use of Avifors. Spell mastery is probably much easier to do in co-op, as opposed to relying on the bad AI. Of course, you have to find someone else who wants to grind these games first.
Holy feck. I remember binge watching Kevin play through all Harry Potter games from Books 1-7 ages ago, finishing everything except the Goblet of Fire. Madlad powered through this buggy mess of a game like a champ. Bless you, you fecker. You finally did it
Weirdly enough I have quite fond memories of playing this game with my friends and completing it with them 😂 I find it hilarious how my experience with this game is so different to Kevin’s lol
@@redwiltshire1816I remember being very proud of my card combinations I made 😂 I made it where if you charge up your jinxes it would do like six shots at once and home in on your enemies. Plus my friends and I would crack up at the goofiness of the moody challenges
Fair enough lol I hated it as a kid though. I was really obsessed with the first three games and the books which made this one hard to get through. I feel like the older ones just had more of a charm to them. That's what I miss about old Harry Potter.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470chamber of secrets and prisoner are vastly superior of course. But this was always a go to game to play on the GameCube when I had friends over. The middle school banter mixed with the goofiness of the game made for hours of hilarious entertainment
I just remember being like “what the fuck is this” as a child, as much as a child would actually think that lol. I was so confused playing this game after originally playing the first 3 open world games, I replayed Prisoner of Azkaban like 15 times. It was suddenly so on rails and restrictive , I remember hating it and giving up after 2 missions.
I cannot believe it. THIS is the game! When I was a kid, my brother and his friend used to play a Harry Potter game and all I remember from this game was someone constantly saying: "look beans!" or "over there, a bean!" or something like that. And I found it hilarious, because in every other game you have to collect coins or gems, but in that game it was beans. Cannot believe almost twenty years later, I get confronted with that game again. You made my day.
1-3 were good games. 4 was a cheap cash grab. 5 and 6 were decent. 7:1 and 7:2 were ridiculous. I kept thinking Harry would pull out a Lancer and chainsaw the death eaters
Creating a generic-looking monster that's a mashup of a dog and a bug and calling it dogbug, I mean dugbog, that's honestly just about as good a job at worldbuilding as JKR did herself.
I literally just finished watching your Harry Potter playlist !! I’m so freaking happy you went back to this!!!! One quick suggestion: can we please have any sims medieval episode? I really loved that’s series! ❤❤❤❤ Love your vids, Dear leader 😊😊
Thank you Kevin. Yes. I've been dying for this for years. You have literally made my year Kevin you have no idea. So much love. Oh my god I'm over hyped I can't. Also, 28:51 the way avada kadavra is said. I lost my soul. Lmao
So this is the one harry potter game I was never able to finish! As soon as I saw the damn herbology class, I had a flashback of me simply ragequitting it as a child and repressing the game from my memory hahaha. Glad to see i didnt miss much, but it was entertaining to watch! Thank you Kevin!
I found you through your Harry Potter gameplays as it brought back childhood memories to me, you playing this game once again made my day! Thanks for the memories and on-spot commentary
I guess I knew at one point that Kevin likes to continiously make his life miserable. But I didn't know he would come back to the horror of the game that this is. And he still can make it entertaining for us👌
You know how empty this game is when the video is only half an hour while the previous games were over an hour. But I am so thrilled to see that Kevin finally came back and finished it!
I used to play this game so much as a child because not only could you lift heavy objects and drop them on the heads of your fellow wizards but there was also a glitch that happened that could make them zip around the level at lightning speed and eventually get them stuck out of bounds 10/10
Kevin makes a good point like all those creatures are just minding their own business and all of a sudden hostages get sent down and 3 kids start attacking them and destroying all their stuff
you should do a challenge run. play through the games again and have a bowl of beans next to you and every time someone talks about beans, you have to eat a spoon of beans
I vividly remember playing this game as a kid and I was always so upset because I couldn't get past certain levels and I genuinely wanted to see what happened. I now realize that it would not have been worth it anyway. I don't remember the game being this bad 💀
I somehow hated the third game but got obsessed with GOF. Probably because I didn't like exploration in the first three; it didn't have much to offer (me personally), and made me waste a lot of time just running around, which peaked in POA. GOF, on the other hand, would always put me right where I should be location-wise. Locations themselves were packed with things to do, having a fight, or a puzzle, or both, every 5 meters :) I liked unlocking cards to customize my build (because characters have builds in GOF!) depending on my preferred tactic for a certain type of enemy. There are 4 ways to destroy an enemy, which trigger depending on a state the enemy is in: picked up by a Leviosa spell, caught by Carpe Retractum, dizzy from being hit with a rock, etc. That's what determines the spell you attack it with. I liked exploring this and uncovering every way to obliterate a thing, all neatly gathered in a special card collection, so you can look it up once you've done it once. It would always come in handy in my shield-hunting; every shield was a challenge I had to think through and gear up for, it required precision and care. THAT was the kind of exploration I loved as a kid. Also, have you seen those locations? They're beautiful! So atmospheric and charming, both visually and sound-wise. I'm still in love with the gardens of Herbology location. And not even Ron's obsession with beans could ruin it ;) Bad AI could, but that's another story. My controversial opinion is this: GOF is not a great game, but it's not as bad as most people say it is. I think people's problem with it is in the way it diverges from the previous three; it's completely different in gameplay and structure, and in it's overall feel. As a HP game, it wasn't what everyone expected--or wanted. So it's a terrible HP game, not a terrible game generally. I still replay it sometimes, which is rare (meaning there's not many games I replay). Most of it is nostalgia, of course, but GOF holds a few gaming pleasures of mine no other game does, HP or otherwise.
Was also my experience when I played it. Part of kevins problems also come down to the use of the save file: The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels. Hogwarts exterior is different in that there's no fixed path and all shields are spawned in the first time you play (though you need the herbivicus spell, which you are supposed to learn in herbology, for some). Obviously different strokes for different folks though, I can understand why it may not be everyones kind of game.
I must be at Pigfarts, because I feel like I’m on Mars right now. Kevin is a fellow Starkid? Now I feel like I have to watch A Very Potter Musical and Sequel just to fully appreciate…

While this was an absolute pain for you thank you Kevin I was dying to know how the rest of the game went.

The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels and no story for herbology and the orefects bathroom.

With Kevin's less frequent occurring video schedule. Makes me appreciate his content and his style more. Thanks KEVO
Voldemort calling Lily ''muggle mother'' instead of ''mudblood mother'' LMAO
He does that in the movie too, it makes me wonder if they spliced his lines together for the game
Hope you are having a good weekend Kevin! Just wanted to thank you again for existing and helping so many of us get through tough times. You inspire me and give me joy when nothing else can. You deserve all the best :)
Cringe
@@Jason-tz7ir it's not cringe to be grateful and positive
@@Jason-tz7ir sorry😔
@@gladfridgeDon't apologize to trolls. I feel the same way. Kevin is a big bright spot.
@@gladfridgedon't say sorry, your comment was heartfelt and kind 😊
I started this thinking surely Kevin was exaggerating about Ron “screaming” about beans all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone scream so passionately about anything else before in my life 😂😭
I remember playing this game and just giving up lmao, let's see how Kevin will play this nightmare of a game
I genuinely wouldn't mind if he did a yearly, seasonal replay of all these games (or perhaps if he played the Game Boy games), it's like replaying them with a friend and It's just so beautiful. Please Kev, do it for Hagrid ❤
It would be nice if he were to continue where he left off (and start the others) with the game boy games, but it would be just as good if he were to replay the other games. Especially the last, uniquely horrible one, that one have such replayability in its awfulness. It would be even better if he were to do both things, but that may be asking for too much. Best to just enjoy the second coming of Hogwarts in Kevins channel for what it is, howerever fleting it may end up being.
@@pedrovallefin8406 totally! It has kind become a fall/winter tradition for me to rewatch his videos while building HP Lego sets lol
I actually want these long videos where he plays the entire game for ALL HP games, including the lego ones, and the game boy ones (i discovered this channel through his full video on prisoner of Azkaban, which is my favourite video of him)
I was never able to beat this game as kid. Full respect to Kevin for putting in the effort!
My dad, brother and I loved games 1-3 on the PC. I still remember Christmas morning when my brother and I tried playing this and... all we got was a top down Ron Weasley bean addiction simulator. We played through maybe half of it and then decided we really just weren't having fun. Thanks for letting me relive these memories!
I genuinely freaking loved this game as a kid and still enjoyed it when I replayed it a couple years back.
Your ability to be positive towards something so vile is incredible.
its not vile tho its just meh, 5/10@@Cowboy_Frog
It's not vile, not even close.
It's your taste that's vile.@@Cowboy_Frog
As someone who actually enjoyed the game as a kid, here are some explanations (some of which the game doesn't give):
First, why Kevin couldn't find any shields in herbology and the prefects bathroom:
The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels. Hogwarts exterior is different in that there's no fixed path and all shields are spawned in the first time you play (though you need the herbivicus spell, which you are supposed to learn in herbology, for some).
The spells you use against enemies are determined by "combos"/the state the enemy is in. If you just spam attack against an enemy it will do spell one. If one player lifts the enemy into the air and player 2 attacks, player 2 will cast spell 2. If the enemy is stunned, and then lifted while stunned, it will cast spell 3. etc
The characters cards are unlocked via mastery levels. You increase your mastery by performing spells, finding statues, collectibles, etc. After unlocking a card, you can buy it with beans. The cards each offer certain bonuses or abilities. When starting a level, you can select three cards for each character. However, you start out with the "cursor" on the random card button, meaning its very easy to hit it with no idea of the function and just assume you always get random cards. The additional cards such as the creature cards are unlocked by performing said spell on the creature.
Ron's cards have the most emphasis on attacks ("curses") and is also the first character to unlock the dual-curse, making him the strongest character imo, especially in the beginning.
It's easy to think that the Triwizard Task scores are determined mainly by time, but the far more important factor is the number of beans collected. I spent years of my childhood attempting to reach the Gold speed on the first task but never managed to get faster. Then I realized the level would be a great way to farm beans for Harry, and accidentally achieved gold that way.
So this is an extremely late response, but thank you SO much for your comment! You put a lot of things into perspective within the context of the game; I, along with many others I’m sure, are very appreciative of the time & effort you put into breaking down these specific points & explaining them much more thoroughly!
Never knew that about the different spells, as a kid I could sense it wasn't truly random and there was some kind of pattern determining which spell you fired, but I could never figure it out lol. Thanks!
Did you beat it, or did IT beat YOU?
I was just thinking about how I hoped Kevin would continue these longer videos of the Potter games, given he never finished this one. I’m over the moon for this, schite game and all!
Nothing gets me happier than seeing Kevin play some Harry Potter I've been wanting for so long.
can we just mention kevins use of a very potter musical material? LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
Harry: Witnessing the second coming of the Dark Lord and watching a good friend of his get murdered.
Ron: *B e a n s*
To be fair, Cedric and Harry weren’t good friends.
If anyone is wondering why the levels after Defense Against the Dark Arts didn't explain the story, I can explain. So, you have some levels that play the same way everytime, such as the Three Tri-wizard tasks and the Voldemort boss fight.
However, you also have levels like Hogwarts Exterior (which is an extension of Defense Against the Dark Arts), Forbidden Forest, Prefects Bathroom, and Herbology. The first time that you play those levels, you are in "story mode". Some paths are blocked off to funnel you towards the story, and you get story cutscenes.
Then, because they needed to pad the game out, you are made to return to those levels later to collect Tri-wizard shields to unlock other levels. When you return, you don't start at the beginning point, and you don't play through the story elements again. As far as I know, you cannot trigger the story content a second time, even if you wanted to. Instead, you appear on that stone platform in the level, and the closed paths are opened. So, you have multiple paths to go down for Tri-wizard shields.
However, after the Forbidden Forest, Kevin started playing on someone else's save file, due to his problems saving the game. That person must have already completed the story. So, when he went into the Prefect's bathroom, he didn't start in the bathroom, and he didn't see the story content. Ron fumbles Harry's Golden Egg and knocks it into a pipe. That would have prompted the characters to break the wall and go through the area with the steam taps, the pipes, and the various creatures to find the Golden Egg. Instead, he appeared on the stone platform, already behind the broken wall, and wandered around lost instead. I suspect that the person who's save file he used also got all of the Tri-wizard shields already as well. So, there was nothing for him to do in that level.
The Herbology level is a similar case. The story mode for that involves fighting your way through the greenhouses to smash a giant hanging pot and get the Gillyweed for Task 2. Once again, the original owner of the save file already did that, and probably already did all the Tri-wizard shields, so there was nothing for him to do.
I can also explain how different spells are chosen, since Kevin was having trouble with them. It's based on the game's combo system. You have three types of attacks: Jinx until they are stunned, use a Charm, or Jinx until they are gone.
You have two options when you first encounter an enemy. You can either Jinx until they are stunned, or you can use a Charm. If you Jinx until they are stunned, you have two more options. You can either Jinx until they are gone, or you can use a Charm. Once you use a charm, your only option is to Jinx until they are gone. So, any given fight has either two or three stages depending on what combo you are going for.
The Dug Bogs are a good way to explain this. If you Jinx them until they are stunned, and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Orchideous. That causes them to explode into pink flowers. If you use a Charm first (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa), and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Orbis. That makes them spin around and then sucks them into the ground. If you Jinx them until they are stunned, then use a Charm (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa), and then you Jinx them until they are gone, you will use Avifors. That makes them explode into black crows. So you have three different combos that you can apply to Dug Bogs right there. There is also a fourth combo that doesn't work very well. The idea is to defeat them using Jinx, but somehow do that without following the pattern of Jinxing until they are stunned followed by Jinxing them until they are gone. I played the game alot back then, and I could never get the combo reliably on most enemies. You know you've done it when they explode into fireworks. But its confusing because that also happens when you drop rocks on them.
One of your goals in the game is to grind certain spells enough times to master them. Some spells can only be applied to specific enemies, so you end up killing the same enemies in the same way alot. The most painful example is Ducklifors. You can only use it on the Blast-Ended Skrewts (giant crabs that fire napalm), and there are maybe 2-3 of them in the entire game. So, you have to replay sections over and over again. And the combo for Ducklifors is the more complicated three-stage combo. You have to Jinx them until stunned, then use a Charm (which will result in choosing Aqua Eructo to extinguish them, and then Jinx until they are gone to get credit for one use of Ducklifors. On the other hand, if you use a Charm first (which will result in choosing Wingardium Leviosa, and then Jinx them until they are gone, you get credit for one use of Avifors.
Spell mastery is probably much easier to do in co-op, as opposed to relying on the bad AI. Of course, you have to find someone else who wants to grind these games first.
This is so fascinating to me. What an unnecessarily complicated mechanic lmfao
OMG this was the game that got me into Kevin’s channel years ago when I was still in uni. I’m so happy you came back to it, Kevin!
Holy feck. I remember binge watching Kevin play through all Harry Potter games from Books 1-7 ages ago, finishing everything except the Goblet of Fire. Madlad powered through this buggy mess of a game like a champ. Bless you, you fecker. You finally did it
I'm so happy you posted this. These are some of my favorite game plays of yours! Always super funny and entertaining
absolutely obsessed with the fact that there was a very potter musical reference
Two, even!
Weirdly enough I have quite fond memories of playing this game with my friends and completing it with them 😂 I find it hilarious how my experience with this game is so different to Kevin’s lol
Same I remember loveing the game and exploring all the extra areas and finding the collectables
@@redwiltshire1816I remember being very proud of my card combinations I made 😂 I made it where if you charge up your jinxes it would do like six shots at once and home in on your enemies. Plus my friends and I would crack up at the goofiness of the moody challenges
Me too! I replayed it a couple of years ago and loved going through it to complete it 100%
Fair enough lol I hated it as a kid though. I was really obsessed with the first three games and the books which made this one hard to get through. I feel like the older ones just had more of a charm to them. That's what I miss about old Harry Potter.
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470chamber of secrets and prisoner are vastly superior of course. But this was always a go to game to play on the GameCube when I had friends over. The middle school banter mixed with the goofiness of the game made for hours of hilarious entertainment
1:58
"Over there! BEANS!"
That delivery killed me
I love this series. You are a great creator Kevin! These and the sims are a common rewatch for me.
Same for both!
That looked both truly awful and absolutely amazing. Props on the “100% completion”!
The one thing this game gave us that the movies and other games couldn't:
Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewts!
I just remember being like “what the fuck is this” as a child, as much as a child would actually think that lol. I was so confused playing this game after originally playing the first 3 open world games, I replayed Prisoner of Azkaban like 15 times. It was suddenly so on rails and restrictive , I remember hating it and giving up after 2 missions.
This used to be one of my favourite HP games. Don't ask me why. One of my English notebooks from the Old Days is filled with the word "BEANS"
I cannot believe it. THIS is the game!
When I was a kid, my brother and his friend used to play a Harry Potter game and all I remember from this game was someone constantly saying: "look beans!" or "over there, a bean!" or something like that. And I found it hilarious, because in every other game you have to collect coins or gems, but in that game it was beans.
Cannot believe almost twenty years later, I get confronted with that game again. You made my day.
I still can’t believe how vastly different Harry Potter games kept becoming as the years went on.
And also how bad they kept getting 😅
Pfft 5&6 were awesome. Speak for yourself.
1-3 were good games. 4 was a cheap cash grab. 5 and 6 were decent. 7:1 and 7:2 were ridiculous. I kept thinking Harry would pull out a Lancer and chainsaw the death eaters
I loved this game it was so good
Creating a generic-looking monster that's a mashup of a dog and a bug and calling it dogbug, I mean dugbog, that's honestly just about as good a job at worldbuilding as JKR did herself.
Always happy to see more Hagrid.
“I just wanted to go to the bathroom but now I’m fighting mole people” - every sim that met Jim Pickens
I literally just finished watching your Harry Potter playlist !! I’m so freaking happy you went back to this!!!! One quick suggestion: can we please have any sims medieval episode? I really loved that’s series! ❤❤❤❤
Love your vids, Dear leader 😊😊
I think the step up in graphics hides how little they actually added to the game to make up for taking so much away compared with the earlier games
OH MY GOSH! I never hoped for a Million years he would finish it - but here we are! 🎉❤
My husband and I now regularly scream "BEANS" at each other due to your videos. Never doubt how much impact you have.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see Kevin making More Harry Potter content... I love my life❤️
Kevin referencing the Starkid musicals is everything to me
Very excited to sit down and watch this chaotic man play this chaotic game. Perfect way to start my weekend 😤👌
Great, I’m glad you finished this one. Now fecking do Desperate Housewives!
Thank you Kevin. Yes. I've been dying for this for years. You have literally made my year Kevin you have no idea.
So much love. Oh my god I'm over hyped I can't.
Also, 28:51 the way avada kadavra is said. I lost my soul. Lmao
17:56 "Oh, will you stop going on about Beans, Ron!" Hermione has finally vindicated us 🎉
So this is the one harry potter game I was never able to finish! As soon as I saw the damn herbology class, I had a flashback of me simply ragequitting it as a child and repressing the game from my memory hahaha. Glad to see i didnt miss much, but it was entertaining to watch! Thank you Kevin!
I found you through your Harry Potter gameplays as it brought back childhood memories to me, you playing this game once again made my day! Thanks for the memories and on-spot commentary
I guess I knew at one point that Kevin likes to continiously make his life miserable. But I didn't know he would come back to the horror of the game that this is. And he still can make it entertaining for us👌
this game is so wacky i can't tell what are joke edits and what is just the fucking game and i love it. thanks for revisiting this one!
I am so happy you finished this. I have been saying the A BEAN jock for so long and wondering when this would be done.
BEANS!
The little cuts from AVPM have made my week.
A game so bad that even when you beat it, you've basically lost.
Ron: My dad could beat your dad!
Harry: … You guys have dads?
You know how empty this game is when the video is only half an hour while the previous games were over an hour. But I am so thrilled to see that Kevin finally came back and finished it!
Oh man, this brings me memories. I never remembered passing the bathroom level, but then the hedgemaze bs came back to me
I used to play this game so much as a child because not only could you lift heavy objects and drop them on the heads of your fellow wizards but there was also a glitch that happened that could make them zip around the level at lightning speed and eventually get them stuck out of bounds
10/10
Kevin makes a good point like all those creatures are just minding their own business and all of a sudden hostages get sent down and 3 kids start attacking them and destroying all their stuff
you should do a challenge run. play through the games again and have a bowl of beans next to you and every time someone talks about beans, you have to eat a spoon of beans
STARKID REFERENCE IN CALLMEKEVIN???????
3:25 Ron: 'A BRIDGE!'
Hermione: 'How *observant* of you, Ronald…'
So thaaats what Ron meant when he said Hermione should set her priorities straight in the first movie! Beans!
this gave me a total throwback i really felt like it was 2018 with all those videos. kinda nice to have the final part of loose episode!
You DID!!!! YOU ARE A WIZARD AND A SUPERHERO!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy to see this game again, I have been using the quote A BEAN for so long because of your vid, love it
I vividly remember playing this game as a kid and I was always so upset because I couldn't get past certain levels and I genuinely wanted to see what happened. I now realize that it would not have been worth it anyway. I don't remember the game being this bad 💀
The “Avada Kadavra!” “Ow!!” bit was so funny, I’m in TEARS.
I somehow hated the third game but got obsessed with GOF. Probably because I didn't like exploration in the first three; it didn't have much to offer (me personally), and made me waste a lot of time just running around, which peaked in POA.
GOF, on the other hand, would always put me right where I should be location-wise. Locations themselves were packed with things to do, having a fight, or a puzzle, or both, every 5 meters :) I liked unlocking cards to customize my build (because characters have builds in GOF!) depending on my preferred tactic for a certain type of enemy.
There are 4 ways to destroy an enemy, which trigger depending on a state the enemy is in: picked up by a Leviosa spell, caught by Carpe Retractum, dizzy from being hit with a rock, etc. That's what determines the spell you attack it with. I liked exploring this and uncovering every way to obliterate a thing, all neatly gathered in a special card collection, so you can look it up once you've done it once. It would always come in handy in my shield-hunting; every shield was a challenge I had to think through and gear up for, it required precision and care. THAT was the kind of exploration I loved as a kid.
Also, have you seen those locations? They're beautiful! So atmospheric and charming, both visually and sound-wise. I'm still in love with the gardens of Herbology location. And not even Ron's obsession with beans could ruin it ;) Bad AI could, but that's another story.
My controversial opinion is this: GOF is not a great game, but it's not as bad as most people say it is. I think people's problem with it is in the way it diverges from the previous three; it's completely different in gameplay and structure, and in it's overall feel. As a HP game, it wasn't what everyone expected--or wanted. So it's a terrible HP game, not a terrible game generally.
I still replay it sometimes, which is rare (meaning there's not many games I replay). Most of it is nostalgia, of course, but GOF holds a few gaming pleasures of mine no other game does, HP or otherwise.
Was also my experience when I played it. Part of kevins problems also come down to the use of the save file:
The forbidden forest, prefects bathroom and herbology have a "main" shield, that you must collect the first time you play it. You spawn at the beginning and follow a semblance of a storyline along a fixed path (reach the end of the forest [yeah this ones random], retrieve the egg in the prefects bathroom, find the gillyweed in herbology). After completing the level, if you enter it again, you will spawn somewhere in the middle of the area (on that star on the ground) and all the other shields have now spawned in and can be collected. Because Kevin used a completed save file after the forest, the game didn't give him the story paths for the first shield and all the other shields were already collected by the original player and thus no longer there, leaving him with empty levels. Hogwarts exterior is different in that there's no fixed path and all shields are spawned in the first time you play (though you need the herbivicus spell, which you are supposed to learn in herbology, for some).
Obviously different strokes for different folks though, I can understand why it may not be everyones kind of game.
I must be at Pigfarts, because I feel like I’m on Mars right now. Kevin is a fellow Starkid? Now I feel like I have to watch A Very Potter Musical and Sequel just to fully appreciate…
oh boy how did I miss Kevin -destroying- playing more harry potter games!
The Starkid reference was a surprise but a welcome one! Never knew Kevin was a Very Potter Musical fan lol
This was my first Harry Potter game 😂😂😂 Definitely a lot of a guilty pleasure
i know someone who worked on this game... they were told by their bosses or whatever to just make something, nothing else, ''make a game''
Kevin messing things up with magic is so on par for him
AVPM clips were the highlight of this video 😂 “I got killed by a two year old! And it’s really embarrassing.” Joe Walker is the best Voldemort hands down
