Jahlil Okafor is out in Los Angeles right now likely preparing for the upcoming NBA season. He had a pretty solid rookie season, and despite the clog of big men in Philadelphia right now, Okafor is looking to come out and have an even stronger follow up season. However, every good NBA player knows the key to a strong season is just work, but relaxation and Okafor has found just that in….the Harry Potter video games?
I know it's old.. But does anybody in the LA area have any Harry Potter games on PS2. Please 🙌🏾

Alright….well, this is a lot to take in but let’s see if we can do this. For starters, it shouldn’t be too hard to find the games on Amazon or something like that. A quick search tells us you can get the Prisoner of Azkaban copy (the best book and movie by the way) for as cheap as five dollars. If Okafor wants it new he can get it for 50 dollars. No problems when it comes to finding the game. The real issue comes in the quality of the games.
I’m a big Harry Potter fan myself, and I played a few of these games, let’s just say they’re not the best games ever made. They’re usually quite short, tedious, and all the missions end up being copy and pasted to look similar, or have absolutely nothing to do with the books or movies. Honestly, this was a missed opportunity to create a game that went into what happened in the sections of the movies/books that you didn’t get to read or see, and really get creative. Alas, what could have been. Either way, I hope Okafor is able to find the Harry Potter games and is able to enjoy them. They are the closest thing we have to putting ourselves into the Harry Potter universe and getting play with our favorite trio of Wizards in a magical world.
