read in a game walkthrough:

"You'll probably finish the game with 88%. This is normal. No one has
figured out how to get the other 12%."

what kind of game design is this where no one can figure out how to complete 12% of the game

this game continues to be weird: after replaying an earlier part of the game to get secrets I couldn't get the first time through, I randomly got teleported to a completely different map, with no fanfare at all, nowhere near the map's normal entry points, stuck inside a tree with no visuals at all until I entered first-person mode

it wasn't like, as I exited the other area either, it was a good fifteen or thirty seconds afterward

@emanate no, the game in question is the gamecube/ps2/xbox release of harry potter and the sorcerer's stone

@monorail The gamecube/ps2/xbox version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

@Felthry ah. so less likely to be "incredible secret yet to be unearthed" and more "bad programming"

@monorail it _could_ be some incredible secret

it also could be that people have figured that out, I don't know when this guide was written

@monorail also the guide has a faq that states that one person is known to have reached 91% completion but they don't know how

@monorail ah, also worth pointing out the game came out in 2003 and the guide is from 2004
