Harry Potter Years 1-4
Based on the one of the most successful children's series ever made. Lego Harry Potter sees Harry, Ron and Hermione battle the evil Lord Voldemort who murdered Harry's parents when he was a baby in their first four years. This is another of the Lego games made following two Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Batman. The gameplay is quite fidgity and you can sometime get annoyed. As the other Lego games, there would be all the other characters that you could change into but in Harry Potter, you use the Polyjuice Potion to transform into any character you want. To collect people you have to search for a Lego block to buy it in Diagon Alley. Speaking of which, Diagon Alley is the HUB and you can walk around and even go to Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley, the slightly dark wizard area. Most of the main characters have pets. Harry in the books and movies has Hedwig, his snowy owl except instead of a pet he has in Invisibiliy Cloak and Ron has Scabbers, his rat for the first three adventures and Hermione has Crookshanks. I was sad to see a small performance on Hagrid and Dumbledore's part. One of the characters you can be is Fang, Hagrid's Boarhound. This game is another hit in the Lego series, I can't wait untill years 5-7!
4.5/5
