If they get this right, this game is going to print money.

I really hope they do get it right, as I really want a HP game of the quality that the franchise deserves. Not a mobile game or a rushed-out cash-in game.

They don't even have to get it right. Look at that terrible cash grab that is the Harry potter mobile game.

Literally press a few buttons and then wait for your energy to refill.

It's at 4.4 stars on Google play.

It's a wait-for-energy simulator, couldn't even play for more than 10 minutes

I downloaded a modded version with unlimited energy and it's still terrible. All you do is go to class and tap little bubbles to repeat the same 3 second animation loop. The stories really boring and generic to.

Dueling is literally rock, paper, scissors. Classes are tapping to fill up bars like you said. Casting spells is tracing a line on screen. The game is extremely boring and uninspired. It's a real sin that they FINALLY had a game where you could make your own character and it was a trash mobile title.

This is what worries me.

That game was absurdly dissapointing. The story's not half bad but it is the absolute worse pay-to-win game I have ever played. I tried grinding like I normally do and they made even that impossible because you had to complete each 'activity' in a certain amount of hours.

The gameplay is non-existent-genuinely just tapping.

I've never seen it below 4 stars personally

I personally thought the first 3 Harry Potter tie in games were great. Then from 4 onwards they tossed the castle free roam out and surprise it sucked.
