The weakest part of Hogwarts for me was the RPG-aspect when I initially thought it was gonna be one of its best aspects. Regardless of which house you chose, the story and the characters you'd interact with would basically be the same. Instead of allowing you the freedom to pick your own classes and form of magic to study, the game always forces you to attend the same classes to learn a spell in a very linear-progression type approach. I did like how there was a quest that would unravel differently depending on which house you chose. If you were Hufflepuff, you straight up got to go to Azkaban. That was cool. The game needed a lot more of that divergent storytelling but you can tell the developers really just wanted to tell a linear story and just plop you into it for the ride. As for the open world, it was alright. I wasn't expecting Elden Ring but it started to get pretty monotonous once I got a broom. And fuck the lockpicking mechanic once you get Alohomora...

It was a 6/10 but could've easily been an 8 if they leaned more on the open world RPG aspect. To be honest, it just felt like a Harry Potter game with not-Harry Potter.
