It's fun, but for something set in the wizarding world, it's barebones. It's like it's wide as an ocean but only deep as a puddle. There are a lot of missed opportunities to make the game more immersive and grounded, no matter how small the details. There's no Quidditch, which is conveniently reasoned away in the plot. There's no Gobstones, Wizard's Chess, no real morality system. Despite being able to make different dialogue choices, the narrative remains more or less linear. Aside from collecting field guide notes, we could've been collecting chocolate frogs.

You have all these transmogs but no real way to show them off except for your own benefit. Multiplayer and PVP would've been really good reasons to show off the outfits you've collected. It would also give additional incentive to actually decorate your Room of Requirement, show off rare beasts you've rescued. I also wished there were more ways to interact with the beasts as well, as to make them more real and have life and personality.

Overall, I had fun with the game. The main story was decently compelling. But still disappointed with the other aspects (or lack thereof) of the game.
