Great for Harry Potter fans; decent otherwise.

Myself, I am a Harry Potter freak. I can most certainly understand why this makes the game appeal tremendously to me, whereas it might not do the same for a casual fan or anyone else.
The greatest part of the game to me is the massive castle grounds, which can provide loads of entertainment without you requiring to even do anything in the game. Running from the Gryffindor common room out to the owlery in real time is just a lot of fun.
The graphics are rendered beautifully, and even the characters themselves don't look all together horrible. The only problem I could see was framerate issues, and it would get jagged and slow at times for no real reason. This isn't that huge of a problem, but I was disappointed with it.
The game itself is also quite fun. The mechanics of using the wand to cast spells is really intuitive and you will have yourself lifting chairs in the air and repairing broken vases almost instantly. This is also a bad thing, in that the difficulty in this game is basically near zero. I switched it up to "very difficult" immediately upon starting the game, and it still feels like an easy level game to me. I suppose that is because it is primarily made for children, and I am a grown man who likes to play Harry Potter video games.
Overall, it was well worth my purchase. Being a huge fan, I can see the appeal of owning the game and running around Hogwarts Castle whenever I choose, and perhaps having a playthrough of it in the future if I were to get bored or something. To anyone who is not a huge fan, however, you can easily complete it during a rental period, so I would not advise you to buy at full price.
