Trivia
  • Peeves does not appear in the film, but is battled on a regular basis in this game. In the GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 versions, he only appears in a cutscene but is never battled.
  • In the PC/Mac version, the Forbidden Forest part is not included.
  • In the film and book, Harry's broomstick is jinxed in the first Quidditch match. In the PC/Mac and PS1 versions, both Quidditch matches have no jinxed brooms or accidents. In the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox versions, the Slytherin match is played on a jinxed broom.
  • In the book, Quirrell Summons ropes to tie Harry by snapping his fingers. In the film, Quirrell snaps his fingers to make fire surround the area. In the PC/Mac version, Quirrell moves his hands to conjure fire around the area. But in the PS1 version, Quirrell does not make fire surround the area, but green ropes do tie themselves around Harry at times. And in all the video games, Voldemort is the final boss.
  • In the PC/Mac and PS1 versions of the game, Norbert seems to appear early in the game, unlike in the book and movie where he appears nearly at the end of the story.
  • Norbert is omitted in the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and GBA versions of the game.
  • The PC/Mac version of the game was originally intended to include the Mending Charm, Verdimillious Charm, and an unnamed spell. The Fire-Making Spell and Levitation Charm were also intended to have more uses.
  • The Dursleys never appear in the PC/Mac version of Sorcerer's Stone but their model files can still be found within the game.
  • Despite not fighting until Year 2 in the book and movie, Harry constantly fights Draco throughout this game.
  • In the GBA version of the game, Harry gets caught by Professor Snape instead of Filch, and Harry's detention in the forest isn't the same as the book or movie.
  • In the GBA version of the game, Harry uses the Knockback Jinx on the troll, and it falls in a hole in the girls' bathroom. In the book and movie, Ron used the Levitation Charm on the troll's club to bash the troll's head with it.
  • In the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game, the Quidditch match against Slytherin is at the last match of the year rather than the first.
  • In the PC and PS1 versions of the game, Harry gets trapped in the dungeons during Potions class.
  • In the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube versions of the game, Harry goes alone in the Forbidden Forest.
  • The GBC version of the game has a glitch during the part where you need to find ingredients for Snape. One of them is supposed to be found by examining a tapestry in Snape's office. However, if you get the other ingredient first, the one in Snape's office will never appear and you will be forced to restart the game.
  • The PS2 version of the game is narrated by Stephen Fry, who also narrated the UK editions of the Harry Potter audiobooks.
