So far, so good, right? It's a stylish piece of wizard chic that renders you invisible to the naked eye, after all, so stealth sections should be a breeze. He has a whole one (1!) other item: an invisibility cloak. See, Harry Potter's bag of tricks isn't limited to mere wands and potions. Long, painful stealth sections that are drawn out by pointlessly tedious objectives and multiple unfair do-overs. Granted, shooting's not all you do in Deathly Hallows. There are plenty of instances – some when you're standing two feet away from an enemy – where it just doesn't trigger, making this a game where the term “braindead AI” is actually quite literal.

Honestly, in this continuity, good doesn't triumph over evil because of the power of love or whatever it's because one guy (you) understands how to friggin' sit behind a wall instead of absorbing the world's most potent magics with his face. But what about the other unfortunate inhabitants of this hell of a game? Well, the AI – both enemy and friendly – is dumb as dirt, almost always choosing to run in wands-a-blazing like Rambo at a Renaissance faire.
