Played it.

At first, I didn't like this game. The atmosphere is great, and the interaction with other characters isn't bad, but the controls... ugh. When you flick the wiimote as directed, there's a pretty good chance it'll think you're doing a different move than you think you are. Accio and Repulso are particularly bad about this, as they are 'flick towards' and 'flick away'. After a while, you get 'Wingardium Leviosa' and that changed the feel of it. This is the -only- fun spell to play with, though. The rest are all just 1-shot spells that you have no further control over. There's a -lot- to do to get 100%. mini-games, collecting points (for doing various tasks) and other things as well. The plot is pretty straightforward and easy.

what were they thinking?

why didn't they just implement the actual movements stated from the book: Wingardium Leviosa had the "swish and flick" motion, and I don't understand why they didn't just use this? It would have been more authentic and would have made things a ton more interesting IMHO

so...

...the spell casting relies on moving the wiimote only? Meaning, you could cast stuff by accident? Seems that making you hold a button down (could be different ones for different spells that may have similar motions) to make spell casting more accurate. Or is it done that way already?
