There was nothing special about the mirror, no interesting backstory. But it turns out, it was just a graphics bug. I thought that was interesting and clever. The only time I was genuinely intrigued by the game was when I stood in front of a mirror and it showed my reflection in reverse (I was facing the mirror but the mirror showed the back of my head).
I played it through to the bitter end, and I have not much to show for it. It's a game for children, it has no depth, and I didn't get the sense there is ANY replayability. I played on hard difficulty, which means I had to play the "color matching game" to break enemy shields. It's like watching a bad action movie, where the hero is surrounded by 8 enemies, but the enemies only attack 1 at a time. The combat never gets interesting because the enemies always take turns attacking you. There is a lot to do, but 90% of it is tedious busywork. This journey lives on, with two trips a day, using some of the actual carriages used in the filming of these magnificent movies.īelow is a short video of the Jacobite steam train, following the same journey as "Harry Potter".The game is shallow. In the movies Harry and his pals travelled in vintage MkI carriages on a 42 mile stretch of line between Fort William and Mallaig, known as the greatest railway journey in the world passing a list of impressive extremes including Britain´s highest mountain, shortest river, most westerly station and deepest sea Loch at Mallaig, also crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct made famous by the Harry Potter films. The Hogwarts Express as it is more commonly known, but christened 5972 Olton Hall is on show and available for all to see at Warner Bros Studio Tour in London. I think most people know the rest of this remarkable story.
On arrival at our head office at Carnforth their attention was immediately drawn to GWR 4900 5972 Olton Hall, built in 1937 by Great Western Railways in Swindon more recently carefully restored to its original condition by West Coast Railways. Way back when, Warner Bros approached West Coast Railways in an effort to source a steam engine suitable to carry Harry Potter and his friends on the most magical of journeys, little did we know that whatever engine they chose would become the most famous locomotive in the world. West Coast Railways supplied the engine and carriages used in the filming of the "Harry Potter" films.
