I’m being honest
Eh
There’s also an issue with bots in this game. I spent hours, days & weeks building up my dueling points only to be defeated over and over again by game bots, which I don’t think is fair. Most of the “real” players with money can buy their way through this game & advance at a much faster pace than us “regular” folk. I also had a hard time obtaining many legendary cards, regardless of how many gold & silver keys I used. I would often get the same cards over & over again, which was useless.
Ultimately, if you want a game that’s true to the original concept of HP, this probably won’t be the one for you. I’ve heard better things about Hogwarts Legacy, so I’ll get rid of this game & try that one instead.
Very fun just one thing unclear
Thank you for reading!

It’s ridiculous
I completely recommend this game. It’s super fun and free if you want it to be
It’s ridiculous
What a Waste
No Qualms About It, This Game is Pay to Win
I’ve personally spent ~$30 on in-game purchases so far, and even with that I still cannot realistically compete in duels with people who are paying hundreds of dollars for card upgrades. This aspect of the game ruins the entire dueling experience and destroys any sense of equity amongst competitive players. The devs have not addressed the overpowered 1% player base issue in a way that’s fair to all, and I suspect that’s intentional because people who aren’t skilled but who have money will pay to be perceived as better.
In 1v1 and 2v2 ranked duels, card levels could be capped at realistic levels to make the duels skill and strategy based, but this isn’t done. Instead, devs have implemented a non-ranked 3rd battle mode where they level the playing field with everyone receiving same level cards but there is no point or reward for participating in this 3rd type of duel.
Already a LOT of bugs from the first 10 minutes
EDIT:
Opening my inbox, I have a handful of letters that are completely confusing. I can only assume they’re for later in the game and I’m not SUPPOSED to have them yet. One says “chapter 3” and another says “chapter 2”.

I’m not sure anymore…
I completed the years before the gameplay that’s currently going on now was released.
In hard times with the economy, it’s near impossible to throw the amount of money at this game that it’s basically all but demanding for you to get fair game play. You get capped in gold for duels but yet you need gold to level your spell book. You used to get gold from the flying car, now you do not. So it makes it harder and harder to level your spell book to meet the requirements to continue playing. When you go to duel, you can CONTINUOUSLY get matched with people far outside of your ability. And then you lose all your points for nothing. It’s like, why try?
So, I took a break. I came back. And there’s minor differences. Not enough that I think I can get continuous game play. I’ll get frustrated and need a long break again.
Which is a shame. Because I love HP and this has so much more potential than what it’s being given.
LOVE IT, but the game is ALMOST unplayable
Here’s the problem: it crashes every 15 seconds after I enter the game. I know it’s a problem currently trying to get fixed, but when It gets to the point I can barely play the game, there’s an issue. I find it particularly common when I press to enter the Shop/Store button on the top right corner and when I want to upgrade a card in the “Charms” section. I can tolerate it crashing 5 times, it’s fine, I just enter back into the game. However, after it crashing 10 times within 5 minutes, especially after experiencing this for days, I could no longer stay silent. When talking to others about it, through chat, they said they were also experiencing the same issue.
There’s so much I want to do and I want to spend hours playing, but I can’t if the game doesn’t allow me to do that. I hope this issue gets fixed soon.
Takes Up Massive Amount of Space
makes me glad I've never spent more than $10 on it. won't be spending more, because it seems i won't be able to play much longer.
while i appreciate the attempt to bring an intricate game to mobile apps, theres a reason people save this level of game power for consoles and PC. not only is it inherently inaccessible to low income people who can't afford spacious devices, but this isn't sustainable. it might start with people like me who have a smaller amount of space on our devices (32gb) but, at the rate of space accrual you're going, your entire userbase is going to be having this problem within a year.
Enjoy the game but there are more unpleasant problems than I thought
1. This game is expensive: I played this game in another version which is Chinese version. In Chinese version, it’s much more generous when it comes to spending your real money in the game, which I found very frustrating when I am playing the same game.
2. The duel ranking: I am at GM now and was taking me just like 100 more to be a MA. But the game makes it impossible when it matched me and my teammates with much higher rank which make me loose all the points I was working so hard for.
3. The huge differences between people who spend a lot of money and who don’t: if you don’t spend tons of money in this game, oh well, good luck with that. It takes forever for me to upgrade my book or get new cards, even though I spend around $200 on this game already. I played a lot of games, but this is so far the most ridiculous expensive game that I ever played. Other games require skills to be a good gamers, money just make things look prettier. But with this game, you just need to spend thousands of $$$ to master it.
If you wonder why I still play this game. Well, because I am a huge fan of Harry Potter since I was little. I made a punch of friends on this game already. It’s fun to play but it’s less fun when it comes to spend my money in this impossible situation.
I love this game! Here are my few suggestions though
My few issues:
The game crashes a lot
There are tons of glitches such as the social owl shows up different every five seconds.
I think there needs to be a more efficient way to get coins and gems and we should be forced to use real money. The leveling up of the spell book is a very fun and creative idea, but at the rate of income vs the need of upgrade to even complete certain tasks are very irritating and difficult to match.
I really want a potions class! My favorite class is Divination but there is nobody who ever joins that class and I’m stuck with NPCs. I also really want more of a dark path option. I think that is so cool and I love the unforgivable curses! I want Nocturne Alley and when will we get a Hogsmede???
Anyways.
I can’t wait to see all that this game will become and all it can offer and I intend to be there every step of the way!
Also we need more Familiars!!! We need more than Owls. Cats, dogs, frogs, MAYBE EVEN LIKE A NEWT SCAMANDER TYPE OF TRAIT TO INCLUDE. Multiple animals. A collection. Etc etc. sorry I got a little excited lol
Ban system stinks. Solo Exams are too hard
My friends can help me in class but not on the Exams? C difficulty is easy but after that it gets way too difficult. A difficulty doesn’t even make sense. It just screams “spend money on the game or grind for weeks! Possibly months if you want to beat me”. That isn’t fun at all. How is PVE more pay to win than PVP?
In my opinion this game has a stupid amount of potential. And you guys are letting it go to waste. I’ve heard terrible reviews about the exploration update. Me my wife and 7 year old, we all play this game. It’s amazing. But at this point, I’m seeing too many reasons as to why I should stop playing right now. Before I get too invested

They stole from me
BTW, I’m 12, but should definitely take me seriously, or this might happen to you too. Can you imagine working hard to get one special card and it being taken from you?
So listen and be warned.
Has Possibilities
I expect this game can, and should, get better but right now there is way too much to process without adequate information so it is quite frustrating.
Art design is good, with nice options for building your character and allowing players to keep their chosen house, should they not be happy with the Sorting Hat’s decision.
Here’s hoping WB will be patient with this game and will not hit it with an Evanesco before it finds it’s stride.
