Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Potterhead Wizards at none against Magical Creatures's shown. Magical Creatures's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
