The game uses a third-person perspective and centers on exploring Hogwarts and surrounding areas, advancing the story through missions and environmental challenges. Players control Harry, move through 3D spaces, jump, interact with characters, cast spells, and use items to solve puzzles. As the adventure progresses, new spells are learned and gradually unlock additional traversal options, secret routes, and combat tools. Progress is structured around main quests, optional exploration, and set-piece sequences such as chase or flying sections.
