...What? What do you want me to say? He's Harry Goddamn Potter. You know 'im! I know 'im! I honest to god don't know why I even did this; I just really didn't want this bootleg piece of garbage to be my only association with the Boy Who Lived. I love him too much.
Now, I don't have anything to say about this knobbly-kneed goober that you don't already know.
So I'll just talk about the game I've based this skin on instead.
If you grew up as a fan of both Harry Potter and video games, then you'd know that each book/movie tended to produce multiple games across several different consoles that were... well... wildly different from each other. I mean, take good ol' Sorcerer's Philosopher's Stone. Absolute classic book makes beloved family film... Makes an action platformer on PC and consoles, a JRPG on Game Boy Colour, and somehow regressed back to a top-down action game on Game Boy Advance. The GBC release is of particular interest here, as it was one of the three HP RPGs that have released thus far.
Just a few years later in 2004, Stone's sequel sequel would receive the latest RPG in the series, on a Game Boy family system, as was tradition. And it was... okay. Don't get me wrong, PoA GBA did have some things going for it: Ron and Hermione were upgraded from mere party members to optional leaders, each bearing their own unique spells that could break down certain barriers; the graphics and sound were obviously of much higher quality than its GBC predecessors; and it had some neat Gamecube connectivity features. But overall, it was kinda just the last two RPGs, but slightly more colourful. If you're a big HP fan and/or just have a real hard-on for RPGs (read: if you are Axel_Voss), I'd say it's worth a go. Just don't expect much of an improvement if you played the GBC PS and CoS already.
