I personally say, this show has good funny stuff to watch. But, I didn't feel much of the Harry Potter vibes. 
(I'm not comparing this show with Harry Potter but since this show used Hogwarts magic plot, it could be much better)

it's just inspired in some aspects
also it's not supposed to be harry Potter the animation to have the exact same plot
lots of references, borderline plagiarism, that's it

All i can see is harry potter here with saitama as a MC, like bro magic school with houses which compete with each other, they use magic wands, they also play quidditch, they make potions from mandragoras and so on. The mangaka didn’t even try to hide it, he just straight up copied harry potter world imo.

yeah its straight up harry potter rip offs.

Mash is in the red house, Malfoy type bully character whose father is an important figure and hes in the Green house, straight up Dumbledore and McGonagall, literally quiditch, a very simillar learning how to use a broom scene, etc.

This is basically if Asta from Black Clover was in a Harry Potter world.
Same thing with Iruma-kun. Except that with the later you switch wizards with demons.

I see a lot of references from Harry Potter, different story but very similar with world building, school, and classes.

It has a few Harry Potter references like the Quidditch scene, the different houses..., but I dont really get Harry Potter vibes from it because the Chr are just too different.

It has a lot of aesthetics pulled from HP like the wands, black robes, magic school houses, quidditch, etc.

But the tone is staying a lot more fun and light-hearted like the early HP books were before they started taking themselves too seriously.

It’s obviously parodying it, which makes sense since HP is Uber popular in Japan

The Mashle really parodies Harry Potter, but this is just one of the many elements of this anime.
I think it won't be a spoiler if I say that in the future all this will almost completely disappear and many original characters will appear. Including the Divine Visionaries, who have already been mentioned in these five series.

Even if it's a parody, it doesn't excuse the lame presentation and writing.

No hate i towards the show, I love it:
In my opinion it is partially like one punch man that started as a parody show.
I think this is a combination of Harry potter and black clover just funnier.

Yeah there are a lot of similarities. The whole school looks similar. The principal looks like Dumbledore, the other female teacher looks like McGonagall.
There is the corruption in the magic world from the department, and the lines system is similar to the clean blood from Harry potter books.
The sport is similar to quidditch.
The academics have symbols and divide students with a motto like the gryfindor in harry potter.
there is also one bad like slitherin.
There are similar classes like in harry potter, potion making, Brum flying, the opening magic like alohomora.
The test with the labirynth reminded me of the harry potter 4.
So yeah there are a lot of similarities.
btw the new guy reminds me a megumin with his exploooooooooooosion magic

It's fundamentally a comedy and it doesn't hesitate to parody well-known shows and tropes. I think it's self-aware and it makes it clear every episode.

they are literally walking the fine line of copyright lol. but in more serious terms I just think it's for comedy because they know everyone will recognize the references they use.

I didn't expect myself to enjoy the show so much it's a mix of everything I love and the unbelievable ridiculous stuff is funny without wasting too much time. The serious and mysterious moments keep me on the edge of my seat everytime.

I love Harry Potter but Mashle is its own thing in more ways than one.

This is pretty much a Harry Potter Parody... Probably more like Harry One Punch Potter, so it's normal that the writing is not that bright, but a lot of fun. As for the reference to HP it's everywhere. Good show to watch this season, no question about it.
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

Your funny. Why would you expect to feel Harry Potter vibes in a show created and written by people on the other side of the planet from Rowling from vastly difference cultures and experiences. No it does not use Hogwarts magic plot. For one, Harry is a wizard. MC has no magic. Are we even watching the same show? Well I know what I am watching. You need to lay off the LSD.

Its giving me One Piece vibes for some reason due to the characters' powers being similar to Devil Fruit users' powers & Mash is a cream puff loving chad who doesn't give a shit abt romance, similar to Luffy(except he's a meat lover)

Definitely a different vibe from Harry Potter, meanwhile it takes a lot of ideas from the franchise.
