This is where I read it-

It's nice, imo; a xianxia-like Hogwarts iykwim; the MC not knowing much gives this a nice touch, and as such gets up to, in retrospect cringy, shenanigans.
If the title was 'Andy's Shenanigans in Hogwarts', it would've made so much sense.
Give it a light read and treat it like the light reat it is.
Also, unlike the some uninteresting reader's review, imo, not having knowledge of the plot isn't a plot hole; he doesn't magically (pun intended) know about the chamber of secrets and ginny's diary, or about the Rat animagus that Ron keeps around, he doesn't know the triwizard will happen, nor does he know about either Snape's true past, umb (ich) ridge, or even the invinisibility cape harry will have; he doens't know about the marauder's map, about dumbles' death, voldemort's various plots, seriously, MC only knows about the one book he apparently knows about and moves with that knowledge. It's not a plot plot, and it's enjoyable to read his feelings and thoughts about it, without knowing the true danger voldy can unleash on the poor lad.
As for the system being unhelpful? Please. As soon as a system doesn't make the MC super OP in a couple of chapters these types of guys start yapping around. The way I see it, the way it's set up is for the long haul -- it'll take years' work before he becomes anywhere OP and that's more enjoyable than suddenly spewing out seventh year charm spells left and right after just two months of training at home. I'd know; I'm a fan
Update:
Ok, I take back my previous remarks; the MC really does have so many eerily accurate 'deductions' it's like he knows the plot itself. At this point there is no point to having a plot-unaware MC. Be that as it may, the story itself is fairly readable and a nice relaxing read. Give it a try before making any assumptions -- it's like a chinese Hogwarts and in an amusing way at that.

Honestly a gem lol. I didn't expect to find this as much fun as I did, but it really has a unique premise compared to other Isekai hp fanfics. The MC only has watched movie 1, so his understanding of the world is limited. I found the recent chapters to be really funny too-
After changing things to make Hermione to join him in ravenclaw, the MC further f**ks the plot up by getting Quirell kicked out before October. And due to Hermione not being part of the golden trio, it's now the idiot duo with Harry and Ron surprising Dumbledore with their sheer incompetence. Also due to Hermione not befriending them, the MC has somehow become the brain behind the duo, even though he really doesn't want to and ends up giving them sh*t plans like putting Malfoy's head in a sack and beating him up and telling them to go to the forbidden forest with the invisibility cloak, leading them to end up in the hospital due to stepping on hallucinogenic mushrooms. Dumbledore literally is at the end of his wits and is just letting fate take it's course with the idiot duo. It's bloody hilarious to witness.
Overall, it's a fun read, would recommend checking it out.

Translation is well done
I like the MC's approach to relationships and his dedication to improving and especially that he avoids needlessly endangering himself
References to Chinese figures or idioms are not explained hence waste of words
No racism as far as I could see, which is pretty rare
I like the system it's not instant-op but requires work to reach op status
Tldr: For a HP fanfic it's pretty damn good
