You have to make EXTREMELY specific movements with the Wiimote for the wand to do what you want, and it's bad, because most of the game involves doing stuff with your want. Unfortunately, is not really thrilling stuff most of the time, and when it is, it's unplayable. The duels are impossible. I could only beat Voldemort at the end by moving the Wiimote senselessly and spamming buttons. The Snape Legeremsn sessions are hand torture. After having my butt kicked by Crabbe and Goyle and other Slytherins several times I just stood out of the way. I'm sure the Xbox and PS versions are better in this aspect.

Best ever game Hogwarts so far really makes up for it, since the game is mostly an "explore Hogwarts" simulator with a thin plot reined in. Comfy, not terribly entertaining for a long playing session, though. Emma, Rupert and the Phelps bros. are great to listen to throughout, their presence really helps.
