History YMMV / HarryPotterHogwartsMystery

* JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler: Merula has some cursed luck. First, both of her parents were incarcerated in [[FateWorseThanDeath Azkaban]] for their support of Voldemort when she was just 7 or 8. Likely because of that, she's hinted to be poor, unable to afford newer clothes (her boots are noticeably over-sized compared to the dress shoes everyone else wears, her leggings are ripped, and she has an overall ragged appearance). On top of her background scaring others away from her, her extremely competitive and unpleasant personality combined with her bullying ensures that she has no friends. The one person who she did trust and befriended used and betrayed her. And finally, the protagonist always manages to [[AlwaysSecondBest effortlessly outdo]] or foil her in everything she tries to do. Even when she wins, she loses, such as the case where the player crowns her the "Face of Hogwarts" in Rita Skeeter's popularity contest. Overwhelmed with happiness at first, Merula learns the hard way what type of journalist Rita is as she proceeds to write a scathing article in the Daily Prophet about how the child of Death Eaters is loose in Hogwarts.]]

Likely because of her parents being in Azkaban, she's hinted to be poor, unable to afford newer clothes (her boots are noticeably over-sized, and her leggings are ripped) or a new cauldron (she's still sharing a cauldron with the player character even into year 3).

* DracoInLeatherPants: Merula, being something of a DistaffCounterpart for Draco, gets hit with this.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Merula's popularity virtually exploded on a certain imageboard

* NeverLiveItDown: Whatever reputation this game has is ignored thanks in part to the Devil's Snare scene and the image of the player's avatar being strangled being a great picture to show the horrors of micro-transactions.

* ScrappyMechanic: The energy system requires players to pay real money to speed up gameplay, or even get through a segment at all without having to repeat it. It's the most frequent criticism of this game.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Being sorted into your house is just a matter of picking the one you want. No attempt at replicating any of the ''myriad'' personality tests which could calculate which house you might actually fit into best.

* {{Narm}}: The huge smiles made by your avatar and whomever they're talking to when you complete a quicktime event. Rowan, in particular, looks like he just got away with murder when you accomplish his note-passing events.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: During the player’s first year, Snape is only 24-25. Meanwhile, his character model is based on Creator/AlanRickman, [[DawsonCasting who was 54 when filming the first movie]] when Snape was supposed to be 31.

* BrokenBase: Fans disagree on whether the app is an example of NoProblemWithLicensedGames, or whether the microtransactions (which are unnecessary for completion, but greatly speed up the player's progress)spoil an otherwise fun and charming game.
