As the only mobile game in the "Harry Potter" IP series so far that can be called out of the circle, the Harry Potter mobile game can be unanimously recognized by IP fans and card RPG players, which is inseparable from the project team's research on the original work and the innovation of gameplay. It is understood that the story of the Harry Potter mobile game takes place after the end of the war, and the experience of the previous generation of protagonists appears in the form of words and animations in card stories and NPC lines, and IP players can dig out the connection between the game and the original work everywhere they go, like Easter eggs.

In terms of gameplay, the Harry Potter mobile game uses card games as the core and rpg games as modifications, which increases the flexibility and fun of the player's game. Rich social elements are also in line with the expectations of today's players for mobile games, dance parties, dormitories, clubs and other rich gameplay allows players to get to know the players in the game, and when Harry Potter is officially released in the world, players may be able to recognize foreign friends when they go to the outer service.
Some players also said that the Harry Potter mobile game is also a cultural output, it is the understanding and interpretation of the wizarding world of the East, and there are many good quality Chinese elements in the game.
