I don't agree. It's not a good game. The only reason people may think it's good is because it's Harry Potter stuff. It's yet another boring open world game about wasting your time.

It was alright at the beginning in Hogwarts, but the open world segments, which are most of the game, suck. I think the biggest most glaring thing that shows they're just copying other formulas to waste your time is the lockpicking. They have a spell to open locks, but for some reason it has a lockpicking mini game you have to complete? Not only that, but the person who teaches the spell is the groundskeeper?

There's bones of an interesting game there, but they decided to make it yet another bland open world game that's mostly empty. The entire point of 90% of the game is to just extend how long you're playing it, which is bad design. They should create content you want to play, not boring crap they need to try to trick you into playing by making the game worse until you do it.

It's probably a fine game for console players who only ever play boring AAA slop like Ubisoft games. They've accepted this garbage as normal. For me though, I resented my time with it. I'm a fairly big Harry Potter fan (as much as I hate to admit) but I hated my time wasted on the game.
