Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

The gameplay of Deathly Hallows – Part 2 differs from Part 1, in order to address complaints made with the previous game. The game progresses linearly, through cutscenes, but does not include side missions like the previous game. Combat in Deathly Hallows – Part 2 involves button presses which initiates spell-casting as an attack. Three face buttons, usually with a symbol or a letter, on the controller have two spells each, and by pressing a button twice the player can access the button’s second spell. For the Windows version, the player presses one of the six buttons to select a spell.

A new feature is the ability to “Apparate”, which allows the player to teleport in and out of battles, as a form of defence. Only Harry has this ability though. The player is able to control several characters from a third person over-the-shoulder camera including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Minerva McGonagall, Seamus Finnigan, Ginny Weasley, and Molly Weasley. In the final battle, the player uses the directional buttons to move the beam and focus it on Voldemort.
