I wonder it's because it attracted a bunch of people who weren't into games, but are huge Harry Potter fans.

    It's also on every platform, including the Switch, while TotK is just on the Switch.

    Honestly it was just a good game. I saw it attracting both Potterheads and non-Potterheads. (I would not consider myself a Potterhead).

    Does it have a bunch of replay value? Not really (neither do a lot of games). But man, that initial playthrough was just really good. It also looks like I clocked 113 hours on the game, so that's a pretty decent return to me.

    Also, despite the source material and the author, it had a lot of very inclusive elements, which were a nice touch.
