Generally, the video game adaptations of the Harry Potter series were designed to be released to coincide with the release schedule of the film series. The first game in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone [c], was developed by five different teams, each creating different versions for different consoles. The games were developed by Argonaut Games [5] ( PlayStation), Aspyr [6] ( Mac OS), Griptonite Games [7] ( Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance), and KnowWonder [8] ( personal computer). Two years later, Warthog Games released versions for sixth generation consoles ( GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox). [9] The version was released after the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and used many of the same assets. [10] The game featured puzzles aimed at "eight- to fourteen-year-olds" and aimed to capture the mood of the novel of the same name. [11]
