Much to many fans' anger and disappointment (as voiced on such community review sites as ), there is no RPG iteration, unlike with previous titles.

Characters can also capture moving items using Accio and increase their power with creature and character cards. Similarly to Prisoner of Azkaban, also, the three characters can cast collaborative spells that are more powerful or produce better results, which can happen either in solo or in multiplayer. In single player, the two other characters will act as supporting NPCs. In this game, however, the player(s) can choose which one(s) to control at the beginning of each level (with a few exceptions, such as the Triwizard tasks, in which only Harry appears). Just like the previous game, the three playable characters are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley namely the main characters in the movie. In others, there are different tasks or challenges to be completed. In most levels, the player must collect a number of Triwizard Shields, which will unlock new levels. Instead, the player selects one among several nonconsecutive levels to play on a special menu that shows Dumbledore's pensieve. The game does not feature an open-world interaction with Hogwarts. The PSP version was released in North America on 15 November and in Europe on 18 November, the same day the film premiered. The European release took place two days later. The game was first released in North America on 8 November 2005 for all platforms except the PSP. 4.1 PS2, PSP, GCN, Xbox and PC versions.
