Download.com staffOctober 2, 2025

This screensaver places a variety of scenes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on your computer. This program is unlikely to wear out its welcome quickly, as it offers more than 40 images taken from the film. However, image quality is somewhat erratic; some shots look fine, but others appear fuzzy, pixilated, and overly dark. The audio quality of the accompanying music is dreadful and sounds like an MP3 encoded at a very low bit rate. The feature set fares somewhat better. You can disable the audio, choose from a number of transition effects, render all images in black-and-white, set the image delay, and display captions. Best of all, Harry Potter Screen Saver contains no adware and won't cost you a dime. Its middling image quality aside, this screensaver makes an ideal download for fans of the pint-sized wizard.

Pros
The scenes are nice
Cons
If you're looking for animation, you won't get it here
Summary
Low quality images, leaves files on PC when uninstalled

Pros
Easy to install, some interesting pictures, good transition effects.
Cons
Dark pictures, poor color on some, annoying nag banner on bottom, watermark would have been much more preferable, left two files in C:\Windows\prefetch after running the uninstall program (XP PRO, SP3 ).
Summary
Poor quality of images were the primary reason for the uninstall. Also use watermark instead of white nag banner on bottom of screen. No support at all, web site mentioned on splash screen doesn't exist, neither does email address.
Not as good as I would have expected.

Pros
Pictures are pretty good
Cons
The pictures chosen for this screensaver are probably not the ones from the movie I would have chosen
Summary
This screensaver would probably be better if the pictures were more recognizable scenes from the movie.
not worth it

Pros
Cons
it's a 2-day demo, costs $12-something to "register", all for something you could do yourself for free with the regular Windows slideshow screensaver
Summary
probably good enough for kids...

Summary
...but the images are quite dark at times and really not that imaginative (one or two are clearly low-quality screenshots). I don't know what trouble the person below had with uninstalling, but there is an "Uninstall Harry Potter" button on the start bar, so I'm not sure it could be any easier.
