Whether it's a Lego Hagrid screeching into Little Whinging on his motorcycle or the lovely young ladies of Beauxbatons prancing into Hogwarts, exaggerated sound effects and adorable animations make every cutscene a total delight. Rowling's Harry Potter series, and it does so with the same humorous bent that characterizes all of the developer's Lego games. As you can tell from the title, this adventure covers the first four novels of J.K. And if you're one such fan, the game will frequently have you in stitches. Of course, you'll get the most out of Lego Harry Potter if you can tell Dobby from the Dursleys. But the scattered flaws aren't likely to dampen the joy of playing Lego Harry Potter, particularly if you're a fan of the source material.Ħ266975Not even the Dark Mark can dampen your mood when playing this delightful game. You still need to contend with a few of the series' lingering issues (unhelpful AI, slippery platforms) and a couple of minor new ones (iffy targeting, random bugs). You're constantly showered with currency as you solve light puzzles and manipulate practically every object you see with your versatile wand.

Now, the focus is squarely on collecting all those countless Lego bits that go flying everywhere with almost every spell you cast. Yet central elements of the previous games, such as simplistic combat and floaty platforming, have been given a secondary role in Harry's story. In this game, just as in Lego Star Wars and its ilk, you (perhaps along with a friend on the same console) experience a witty and wordless rendition of a famed tale, with your favorite characters replaced by blocky Lego re-creations. If you're familiar with developer Traveller's Tales' previous Lego games, you might think you know what Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is like even before you've played it-and you'd be partially right.
