As far as this being a shooter game, the term first person shooter is a fairly generic one applying to a certain perspective of games, like 2D platformer or puzle. Most of these games do involve guns and killing monsters but by no means all.
As to Sarah being like Shades with spells for weapons, I don't believe that would be appropriate, to something set in the Hp universe and using Hp Spells. "Stupify" for example, is a stunning spell, and is used this way in the books (and films as well if I remember Goblet of fire correctly). While there are spells in the Hp universe that do serious amounts of damage to their victims (like bullits do), they are most often used by evil charactors (the use of certain especially unpleasant spells in the Hp world is punishable by law), and even spells that only cause mild incapacitating damage are reserved for very serious occasions. then of course, even if Sarah was going to use majorly nasty spells, where would she have learned them? sinse their certainly not taught at Hogwarts, it's reasonable that the Salem Witches institute wouldn't teach them iether. For all these reasons, having Sarah slay her way through the castle just wouldn't be true to Harry Potter. As to the screaming books, sinse everything else in the game is well and truly based on the books, I would guess the scream would be a long aaaaaaaaah! sound, as it's described in Philosopher's stone and actually is heard in the film. If you can cope with the screaming in Shades, I don't see why you might have a problem (I find the screaming in Shades slightly terrifying myself, but that's all part of the fun!). Finally, I'm slightly surprised that you thought the maze in Sarah would be the same as the one in Shades. It is true both games were built using the Gma game engine and feature a few similar controls and such, however Shades takes place in a futuristic bio research lab descending nine levels into the ground, whilst Sarah occurss in Hogwarts Castle, going up 12 or so floors. The two Environments are rather different! Also, it'd be a bit of a letdown for players familiar with Shades if Sarah had the same layout. Where's the fun in exploration? Beware the Grue!
