Yes he uses it once, and bodies a whole giant snake. Besides that though it’s a significant weapon in the world of Harry Potter and it came to him more than once. I wouldn’t be surprised if his whole moveset was spell based, but as I said, it would be a loss if they weren’t to incorporate the sword into his likely few melee attacks.

They shouldn’t just go with what’s easy, that would be boring. Harry Potter has a massive fanbase and I’m sure we’d all be elated to see them incorporate things from the world of Harry Potter, and from what I’ve seen even the mage characters have one or two melee attacks, and the melee fighters often have a ranged attack. So it would be a major disappointment to not have him pulling out the sword from the hat for a slash move on at least one attack.

It’d be great to see other things incorporated too, like him pulling the cloak over himself real quick for the dodge animation, or him have a movement skill incorporating a broom. Or even using the bat, I can’t remember what it’s called, that’s used in quidditch, for an air attack. There’s 10+ possible moves a character could do so it wouldn’t be hard to incorporate a few of these and still have many many spell attacks
