Harry Potter for Kinect is a 2012 action game developed by Eurocom and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for the Xbox 360.[3][4] It requires the Kinect accessory.[5]

Gameplay

Each school year in Hogwarts is a series of minigames. There are 31 minigames from key events in the series, including things like potion mixing, broom flying, and casting magic. The player is graded on a five star scale after every minigame. The game allows the player to create their own avatar with the Kinect camera. A split-screen multiplayer is available.[2][6]

Reception

Harry Potter for Kinect received an aggregated score of 54 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 15 reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[7] GameTrailers said the minigames are boring and too rigidly designed.[2] 4Players called the game "very brief and unspectacular", they didn't like how the magic gesture system worked.[8] Eurogamer compared the game unfavorably to Rush: A Disney–Pixar Adventure.[9] GamingBolt called the gameplay boring and said to avoid the game at all costs.[6]
