Honestly just buy it, noone has ever regretted it

If this game was released 10 years ago or if it was 20€ maybe I would recommend it, but this is not a game that is up to modern AAA title standards.
It's extremly shallow which is a shame since the world of Harry Potter has a lot of depth and mystery and the potential here is massive. I actually enjoyed the main quests and those side-character quests, but sadly none of the choices you make in them matter. Exploration is fun at first but it becomes repetitive and ultimately meaningless very quickly. All the puzzles are the same, most of the loot is useless and just fills up inventory space. For some reason you'll have to go "identify" certain pieces of gear but theyre the same as all the others so I'm not sure why they even implemented that. You can capture beasts in the game but they're useless, you just keep them in your room. There's mounts but I never used them outside of the quest where I got them. Potion-making was a huge let-down as all you do is gather ingredients, click "brew" and wait. There's no space for you to get creative and it's not interactive or immersive. For some reason they added some form of lockpicking in the game for when you cast Alohomora. They obviously couldn't be bothered to design and code Quidditch and just said "♥♥♥♥ it, let's say the current headmaster is a ♥♥♥♥ and banned it". The combat is disappointing as well since you will never use the combos they show you because their idea of making it "difficult" is showering you with enemies, a third of which will be immune to almost all of your non-damaging spells.
TL;DR: A disappointingly shallow game with lazy devs. If you're huge on Harry Potter then get it once it's 20€ or less, otherwise do not recommend.

This game is fantastic and deserves much more recognition. I can't think of any game that does something similar this well. It's like an elder scrolls game focused on realism

Story and setting: 10/10 - Haven't finished it yet but loving it so far. Even the side quests are fun to do and have their own interesting stories.

Gameplay: 9/10 - Lockpicking could be better but other systems like alchemy and weapon sharpening are really fun. Theyre not just "hold e to sharpen" or "put this and that in the pot and you get a potion" you actually have to position your sword on the grinding stone, apply pressure and turn the wheel. Similar with alchemy there's a precise process to each potion you make.

Combat: 8/10 - Great realistic combat system that still manages to be very fun. You can attack, block, parry and feint from 5 sides and even regular npcs can be a challenge. The camera and lock-on system can sometimes be frustrating though.

Visuals and music: 10/10 - The music is amazing and very fitting for the game. It really puts you in the mood. Visuals are stunning even though they're focused more on realism and not a shiny saturated fantasy aesthetic. The game seems to run pretty well too.
