Having been obsessed with the Magical World for many years finally being able to visit Hogwarts and the surrounding areas in an open-world setting has been an amazing experience.

Overall this is an amazing game, the areas I'd like to see improved with a sequel or DLC are:
- More things to do in the world
- More variety in companions and the ability to have them join you at any point in the story if your influence is high enough with them
- An actual morality system where unforgivables have punishments if caught using them
- A better story, currently the story leads you to one ending with 2-3 choices regardless of what you do to get there
- More spell variety
- Punishment for sneaking about the castle at night (though this is fixed by a mod)

This is one of those games that you have to keep going back and replaying every so often. You'll notice it in your inventory and think "Huh, I haven't played that in a few months, time for another run through".

The extensive modding community is amazing, and has also created mods that restore content that was cut from the final release. Great for additional play-throughs!
