You go to class, explore the castle grounds, and sneak out for adventures. I will admit that the game did an okay job of showing what it would be like to be a new student at Hogwarts. There was nothing special about the mirror, no interesting backstory. But it turns out, it was just a graphics bug. I thought that was interesting and clever. The only time I was genuinely intrigued by the game was when I stood in front of a mirror and it showed my reflection in reverse (I was facing the mirror but the mirror showed the back of my head). I played it through to the bitter end, and I have not much to show for it.

It's a game for children, it has no depth, and I didn't get the sense there is ANY replayability. I played on hard difficulty, which means I had to play the "color matching game" to break enemy shields.

It's like watching a bad action movie, where the hero is surrounded by 8 enemies, but the enemies only attack 1 at a time. The combat never gets interesting because the enemies always take turns attacking you. There is a lot to do, but 90% of it is tedious busywork.
