As much as I love Harry Potter and might enjoy this game (yet to play it), I have to agree based from looks and trailers alone that it is very lackluster.
It's a shame, out of everything they could have done, out of all the money the series has made and out of all the money EA has, they just didn't make a game that could of been brilliant.
It's so disheartening to see a universe with so much material and wonder in it to be pushed aside without even a second thought. I almost want to find the person ultimately responsible and give em a taste of my wand.

If my understanding is correct, EA only had the license to the movies, not the books themselves. Hence, the Harry Potter games were never likely to get close to capturing the essence of the novels...

That's a shame, once they made remakes of the Philosophers Stone and the Chamber of Secrets when the 6th generation was gaining speed. All I can hope for is that they remake some of their games, especially those that got some bad reception (Goblet of Fire, Deathly Hallows, Half-Blood Prince)
