    What’s crazy to me is that after the first week or two, I didn’t see anyone talking about it. I kind of assumed it either flopped or was mediocre but I guess people just silently played it?

      It has that mainstream appeal as in being a brand parents know (Harry Potter) and being pretty inoffensive (i.e. no guns and blood or sex and partying) so I imagine just about every kid with a system it runs on and in the age bracket of 6-16 got it for Christmas or their Birthday despite not being on the wishlist.

      Looks like the original tweet ended as (Rock Band) to indicate the game that took #1 back in 2008, and either OP or the auto-titler missed the parentheses?

      TBF the graphics, setup and intro were pretty good (esp if you’re a fan of the series). The problem was that it went absolutely nowhere after that, beyond “you’re at Hogwarts and it looks pretty”. I guess that was good enough for enough people to put it over the top.
