So I've been playing the game for a few days now (can't play full time 
) and I do like it, like I did with all the previous LEGO games.
The spell-casting is really great, but I have to admit that I do wish we could cast any spell at any thing, just to see the results. As it is, we can't. The spell wheel is great, but I do wish, too, that it was bigger. For those who haven't played, let me explain how it works. By pushing a button, you activate the spell wheel, where all the spells you've learned are kept (along with one special ability depending on the character you play with -- Harry's Invisibility Cloak, for instance). So there are eight spots. And the one at the top kinda serves as the "garbage spell bin" where all the funny spells like the Trip Jinx and Locomotor Mortis go -- they're all bunched together in that one spot and they each appear in turn. So when you try casting the spell from the top spot, you can't really decide which spell is going to be cast. And that bugs me. Like they couldn't do a bigger wheel or simply make a second wheel available by pushing another button...
Other than that, the graphics are awesome and the game is just as funny as you'd expect a LEGO game to be. The characters really have a personnality of their own that is just priceless.
