Default A Harry Potter adventure game?

Does anyone else think Harry Potter is tailor made for the adventure genre? I know we'll probably never get one as the franchise is worth so much that all of its games are cookie-cutter movie tie-ins that suck, but...

Imagine exploring Hogwarts as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, or even another character.

Imagine a magic system in traditional point and click style, it'd work perfectly and the actual setup of spells could involve classic inventory combination, etc.

Finding food for a starving hippogriff, finding a way past a giant spider, trying to create a distraction for a professor to access a storage cabinet, etc. etc.

Hogwarts has tons of hidden secrets and puzzles, lots of potential for cool mini-games (Quidditch?), and like most adventures it wouldn't have to be based around killing stuff.

Just an unrealistic dream I guess but it'd be much better than the tripe that has been released under the Harry Potter name.
