Pros:
- Some of the mechanics are done well (Wingardium Leviosa)
- I thought the broomstick level was short but pleasant
- Controller support for pc was not bad (I'm really digging to find anything positive to say about this game)
Cons:
- PC port is terrible
- No graphics settings
- No mouse support
- Resolution stuck at 800x600
- Throws the first 3 games in the trash
- Exploration is gone
- Point and click spells are gone
- Collectibles are essentially gone
- Beans are less satisfying
- Collectors cards are just stills from the movie without any context or descriptions
- Virtually no secrets to be found
- Extremely linear
- Narrative is very sloppy, almost non-existent
- Fixed camera
- Friendly AI (Ron and Hermoine) is horrible
- Always getting in the way
- Running through dangerous things and dying
- Leaving you hanging or not knowing what to do when you need them for a spell
- Getting all the shields to progress is really grindy
- Requires revisiting the same levels over and over (mind you, these levels aren't boat loads of fun)
- Combat and many of the spells are tedious with little to no payoff
