Harry Potter is one of the all-time favorite movies for many of us and you’ll be just as happy to know that Harry Potter’s sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is coming to the Nintendo DS. Just like its earlier games, it is mostly revolves around carrying out quests for the students at Hogwarts to continue the story. You frequently come across several minigames depending on who you talk to. You can even access a handful of minigames from the menu like Quidditch, Gobstones, Snap and Wizard Skittles.

Quidditch is a fast-paced game in which you have to pass the ball to your teammates before the time runs out. The timer is represented by a separate snitch and the moment the snitch comes together, you’ll play as a seeker and try to get the elusive snitch. Gobstone is like Marbles, seen in previous Harry Potter games, where you try to match up cards in pairs. Wizard Skittles is set up like a pinball machine, where you have to try to launch the ball to hit the target.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is sure to attract attention when it is released later this year. So wait and watch!

Magic has always held human imagination for centuries and be it kids or adults, they won’t look away if a magic trick is being done and if you thought magic is kids stuff, The Harry Potter euphoria would be like a slap on the face.

Using simple, easy to understand language, Magic Made Fun shows how to do a few tricks on the DS screen using the screen displays — mostly card games because they are simplest and work well with the screen display concept. With some good quality graphics and easy operation, it is possible to pick some magic tricks that you could use to impress your friends and family.

However, the number of tricks available is limited and might make the insatiable kinds among you a little disappointed. With only 14 tricks available, it leaves one asking for more. Another irritating thing about is the fact that you got to unlock the other tricks by learning the present ones successfully and as if that wasn’t enough, you got to wait one full day for the rest.

But it does satiate the craving to do a little magic, learn some tricks for young people and is a considerable buy given that they like it so much.
