Potter 5 demo on Xbox Live

By Tom Bramwell Published 16 July, 2007

Hogwarts and all.

Electronic Arts' chart-topping Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix videogame is now up on Xbox Live in downloadable demo form, so if you're into that, accio like a mother-f-.

At 510MB it'll eat approximately 2.55 percent of a 20GB hard disk, which is the sort of useless fact we like to offer you here at Eurogamer, and you can read much more about it in our Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Xbox 360 review.

Don't expect it to go anywhere in the charts soon, either - with the game having achieved its back to back success in the UK Charts before the film it's based on had even gone on general release. Magic!

    I heard Harry learns the joys of masturbating in the Deathly Hallows.

    The demo didn't offer any real fun except throwing furniture at people with the help of magic.

    All you could do otherwise was run around discovering that you need the full game to do all the fun bits.

    This demo is piss poor. Mind you, at least it served a purpose, because after playing it there's no way I'd ever buy it.

    This demo is absolutely useless. Why would they release this? It's like a time-limited version of the actual game, but with all the fun bits removed.

    Played it for 10 seconds, throw a bench around the courtyard, turned it off. What was the point of that.

    Like the Blue Dragon demo. If a demo doesn't have context (beginning and end for starters), it only makes the product look poorer instead of good.

    I enjoyed hitting the ginger kid in the face a few times with a bench. Then I set some stuff on fire. Then there was a terrible cutscene about a "reward room". Then some woman told me she didn't have time to talk, she was on important shcool business, then kept standing still blocking the path. Then it timed out.

    What a shit demo.
