No, it's terrible. The combat is fine, and the Hogwarts section is alright, but everything else sucks. Doing the same thing dozens of times just because they didn't have time or creativity to fill out the world sucks. The random loot system sucks.

I think the biggest thing (for a Hogwarts game) is how little they seem to care about the world it's set it. Some of it seems like they care, but then they do things like having the groundskeeper tell you how to open locks and to break curfew (although there literally isn't a curfew besides this mission). You go and break into people's houses or into places you "aren't allowed" only for literally no one to care or even notice. You can use dark magic, even in Hogwarts and on students, and no one cares. There's so much that's just hollow.

I really wanted to like the game. It's a bad game though. It's not just a game I don't like. It's a bad game. I could write so much more (and have), but I think what I've listed here is enough.
