Video games may not work at Hogwarts, but they’ve given Muggle gamers a way to experience the magic of Harry Potter. There are numerous consoles on which to revisit the movies, ranging from the Game Boy Color to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. And while many of the earlier mobile games are no longer accessible, the newer mobile games provide unique and exciting ways to enjoy the wizarding world on the go.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Motorbike Escape was a free online video game released by Warner Bros. in November 2010, before the release of Deathly Hallows - Part 1. In the game, you play as Harry Potter flying alongside Hagrid to the Burrow on Sirius Black's enchanted motorbike. You cast spells against the Death Eaters, much like in the film and book when the Death Eaters attack in the chapter "The Seven Potters."
The player can use Essence of Dittany to gain an extra life and Dragon Fire to fly faster. They may also target opponents with the Disarming Charm (Expelliarmus) and dodge spells from Death Eaters. Successful hits can score anywhere from 50 to 500 points, and players could post their scores to Facebook. You can still play the game here. Reviews of the game were fairly positive, especially as a marketing strategy for the film.
Harry Potter DVD Game: Wizarding World is a DVD game based on the Harry Potter series released by Warner Bros. on December 1, 2009. It is a sequel to the Hogwarts Challenge game. The player attends Years 4–6 of Hogwarts and engages in activities that incorporate elements from those films. It features classroom gameplay and activities that take place outside of Hogwarts.

The game had more positive reviews than its predecessor.
