I recommend the game, HOWEVER, it has some flaws:

PROs:
• Great visuals
• Beautiful wizarding world with the wizarding activities, magical NPCs and beasts, feels like every corner is handcrafted
• Stunning Hogwarts
• Great combat system (combos, spells, you feel really powerful while casting them, dodging, spamming combos)
• Very nice Sebastian's storyline
• Lot of activities - dungeons, secrets (A LOT of secrets), merlin trials, balloons, like really a lot of side activities to do for fun and just relax from questing
• Amazing customization of room of requirement, although I was there was a separate spell-slot just for the ROR
• Great character customization, every piece of clothing is just amazing, exactly how I would imagine it in wizarding world

CONs:
• No quidditch (and based on their recent statement, we aren't getting a quidditch DLC)
• Horrible performance and optimization even on high tier PC (let's hope they will fix that) but it mostly ruined the experience for me
• Boring, kiddish storyline, expected something more epic, on the other hand, sebastian had better storyline than main storyline, as i mentioned above
• The game was clearly made for kids with the voice acting etc., it's a bit shame we couldn't truly re-live the dark, sad, scary story or something
• Facial animations are most of the time odd
• I wished we could learn how to turn into animagus, theres a special quest where you get all the info, she could've taught us..
• No patronus :(
• I wish characters would dress differently based on school/outside of school envi, also based on the season
• I miss clothing loadouts, I wanted to dress with a robe in school and casual outside, but it was pain to change it everytime, also thanks to that horrible console ux menu

But I enjoyed the game, very well handled launch, no bugs other than small visual problems that happens to every game, but very well launched game, bug free, just tune up the performance.

Happens to be my new favorite game, even after I finished it, I still play, just to do the remaining dungeons, secrets etc. and get all the achievements.

Recommend 9.5/10.

(-0.5 points for that awful "console UX" every game nowdays has, terrible experience for PC players handling those menus etc)
