Flippendo, iirc. It's just a fus ro dah they made for the game.

Also I played the GameCube version of this as a kid. It was quite different.

i played this (the PC) version far too much as a kid, and "Flipendo" is burned into the back of my skull forever.

The PS1 versions of these games is one of the best selling games in the UK for that console. It's a strangely universal experience.

The PC versions were more popular in more PC centric regions. Hence the run you see before you

Nearly all of the Harry potter games before Azkaban are competent to Surprisingly Good

They're totally different games by console but none of them are bad. It's really weird.

I can't think of too many American children who didn't play at least one Harry Potter game while those movies were coming out.

I love weird-rear end tricks like the brightness boost, it just makes me wonder “how the gently caress did they do that so wrong?”

Basically, adjusting the lighting caused the engine to do a sort of refresh/reset and it reloads Harry with his current velocity and things get wonky. The brightness is only there to enable to refresh rather than have anything to do with the brightness.

The question isn't so much how the trick works, it's why the hell does changing the brightness cause a reset in the first place.

I'm back. I ate a green chili burger, hung out with my friends, watched one start Cyrus's story on Octopath, and ate ice cream cake. Pretty :fluffy: evening and I only missed 2 games apparently.

Oh sure, when Harry Potter here is over estimate it's not a big deal, but when I'm over estimate it's "being 25 years late to my daughter's wedding" and "being a bad dad"
