This game was a slight improvement over years 1-4 but unfortunately not enough to pull it out of the average rank. The added dueling into the gameplay which, while better than the original, still becomes stale fairly quickly. The move set is still not differentiated enough to make it worth playing with multiple different characters making the characters once again just feel like skin swaps. While the overall experience was slightly better the story somehow became even worse. There were multiple times me and my wife said if we didn’t know the Harry Potter story we would have no clue as to what was going on.

Just like years 1-4 I had an ok time playing this but if I wasn’t playing with my wife and we didn’t love Harry Potter I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed this game. Even as a big Harry Potter fan I just cannot give this game any higher than an average score. If you are into Harry Potter you’ll at least have a decent time but if you don’t know anything about Harry Potter sit back and read the books or watch the movies before playing this otherwise I can’t see where there would be much enjoyment.
