    [edit]

    Each school year in Hogwarts is a series of minigames. There are 31 minigames from key events in the series, including things like potion mixing, broom flying, and casting magic. The player is graded on a five star scale after every minigame. The game allows the player to create their own avatar with the Kinect camera. A split-screen multiplayer is available.[2][6]
