Been there too. I think it was Warner Brothers (at the time) that had a hissy fit about a review of a game. They didn’t like the review: they wanted advertising rather than editorial. We told them to talk to the sales department.
Interesting. I actually remember this game very fondly. It’s a well made mid-budget game for kids, in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, but charming, atmospheric and with fun gameplay. I was young when it came out, definitely part of the target audience (despite not caring about Harry Potter), but even revisiting it as an adult, I still found it to be enjoyable. Reading the Wikipedia article, I’m actually surprised by how low its review scores are.
Publisher relations is another reason. I don’t think EA appreciates this.

Do you remember which game it was?
A very early Harry Potter game, 2001. Surprise, it was EA.

How did your magazine cover it?
Pretty much what you said, but that’s from memory. The site and the review is long gone now.
