* AdaptationalJerkass: Ron gets a bit of this in the [=PS1=] adaptation. In the book and the movie, he complained about Hermione to some of his friends, not knowing she could hear him. But in this game, he openly insults her while introducing her to Harry.

Added DiffLines:

** While Draco Malfoy is already a bully in the books and movies, the [=PS1=] adaptation takes this even further to have him ''steal'' Harry's owl Hedwig.

** The same is true for the [=PS1=] version, with many cards hidden behind secret passages and / or difficult mini-games

Added DiffLines:

* JumpScare: for the intended demographic, at least--during the final boss fight with Voldemort, he shoots green spells at you (obviously the Killing Curse, but thankfully they don't cause instant death) and you need to hide behind pillars while he fires them, causing the pillars to shake and then you can topple them over onto him with Flipendo. When you get to the last one, though, Voldemort just blows it up. [[OhCrap Yikes!]]
