Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Game Boy Advance allows players to navigate a 3D environment of Hogwarts using pre-rendered backgrounds. The gameplay features a variety of minigames that require players to execute timely button presses or perform specific movements. The experience emphasizes exploration and interaction within the popular wizarding world.
In both the Nintendo DS and GBA versions, the player can walk around Hogwarts in almost 3D pre-rendered backgrounds, like in the first Resident Evil games. The gameplay consists in various minigames, which you play either by pressing buttons on the right timing or by doing different kinds of moves with your stylus on the touch-screen.
