You don’t want this game. You don’t want a sequel to this game. You don’t actually want Harry Potter at all, actually, but you definitely don’t want this game.

This is my capture from the penultimate combat encounter in the game. This is gameplay from the finale. This is a boss encounter. This is the second to last boss encounter in the entire game.

I promise you this is a bad game and you don’t want it even if they paid you
