Since the developers have already made it clear that a lot of the game will take place both in and outside of Hogwarts, it's hard to imagine the player's adventures away from school being devoid of magical use. The trailer portrays a student fighting off a masked villain in a dark woods — likely the Forbidden Forest — along with encountering trolls and dragons in unidentifiable settings. One shot shows a student attacking a charging Graphorn with his wand, before dodging out of harm's way. Whether or not this takes place on school grounds is uncertain. Still, using magic outside of school seems like a must in this game, considering a good chunk of time is spent away from Hogwa

Despite the connotation of their title, the Dark Arts, are not innately evil. Mean? Sure. But straight-up evil? That depends on the witch or wizard. There’s a lot of grey area in good and evil, both in the wizarding world just like the real world. Even if you’re the purest of Gryffindors since Godric himself, there’s always been some part of you that’s just itched to hex that Karen in front of you at Trader Joe’s. Romilda Vane, a fine and upstanding Gryffindor, tried to use Amortentia, the world’s strongest love potion, to shoot her shot with Harry Potter, but no one is calling her e
Games like Skyrim have found the perfect balance of plot with purpose. Quests don't feel bogged down and include adventure and challenge across the board. Some quests are much higher in difficulty than others, while the main storyline is enriched by what players accomplish before going to the main plot points on the map.
