Play Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (E)(XenoPhobia) Online

Game Overview

Okay, so this is the DS version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix—and honestly, it’s way more fun than I expected. You start off just wandering around Hogwarts, which feels weirdly huge on the tiny screen, but in a good way. The touchscreen actually makes spellcasting kinda cool—you draw runes to cast spells, and messing up the motion means your spell fizzles (which happened to me way too often at first).

There’s a ton of side stuff, like helping rebuild Dumbledore’s Army by finding hidden crests or convincing other students to join. The main story follows the movie, but the real charm is just poking around the castle, discovering secret passages, or using Wingardium Leviosa to stack random objects into weird sculptures. The graphics are obviously DS-level, but the atmosphere nails that "magic school" vibe.

Fair warning: the prefects will chase you down if you’re out after curfew, and for some reason, that never stopped being stressful. If you’re into Harry Potter at all, it’s a solid little time-waster.
