First, I didn't think I would spend more than 53 hours on a walkthrough of the game that I had so few expectations of, and I enjoyed the run from start to finish, which is rare in most of today's video games. Now let's break in it into pieces:

The story itself is lovely, peace of work. It wasn't difficult to understand and, to be honest, not the most exciting story I have ever played(cough Death Stranding, cough Metal Gear), but I didn't hate it at the end of the day. It is well-dossed, not too dull, and not too flashy.

They were brilliant, not repetitive, and rewarding (most of them).
One thing I didn't enjoy was that there was a bit bigger cooldown between them. It was fun initially to wait for things, but later on, it became boring and sometimes even frustrating.

I enjoyed switching speels and using different tactics to dominate everyone who got in my way and tried to disagree with anything I said.
When fights become boring, stealth is the option and funny one.
Big shout out to the designer who made the last boss fight "Avada Kedabra" resistant. The leveling is fun, and in the early time, if you spend time exploring the school, you will be rewarded. Spells are good, but ancient magic is not customizable, which is sad because you cannot choose what it will do. Capturing animals is not only fun or a nice zoo but also helpful in upgrading and makes your visit incredibly lovely and cute. I would like to see more animals in the future (and also, I would like to have beast companions in the fights).

I am dumm dumm, and I got through the story puzzles quickly.
The side ones are relatively easy, I am not the Sharpest tool around, and I made it so.

More animals and companions
Multiplayer or at least coop
Advantages of beast mounts (it's a nice mount, I'll give you that, but it gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever) and in the end, you will use the broom because of the speed + mobility it has

This game saved the last three years of bad AAA games (played in 2023) and gave me hope for good AAA games in the future. Thanks for the ride, but I am skeptical because the next title will have to be on this level which will be hard.
