I have had Lego Harry Potter sitting on my shelf for some time now and finally got around to playing and completing the story last month.
Lego create some great games for various franchises, Star Wars, Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean to name a few, and Tt Games do a great job of creating humorous Lego versions of scenes from the famous films.
Another reason this was such a fun game to play, and one of the main ones, was the chance to play co-op with another player! For me my fellow lego Witch or Wizard at Lego Hogwarts was my beautiful fiancee Laura, check out her design Blog by clicking her name, I may be biased but her designs are great!
But back to the game. Together, evening after evening we sat in front of the tv controller in hand completing chapter after chapter. There was funny times and frustrating times, but this game brought us together for things we both love. The gameplay and story stay true more to the Films than the Books and as mentioned earlier have some great takes on scenes from the films. The gameplay and aiming of spells can be a little niggly at times and also jumping from platform to platform can be quite challenging.
As with other Lego games you have to collect lego coins to become a "True Wizard", which becomes quite difficult when your co-op player keeps deciding to fall of the map or shatter into lots of little bricks loosing many a lego coin, there are fun tasks to complete to collect different sections of the Hogwarts crest. Saving Students in Peril among plenty of other things which award you with gold bricks.
Plenty of spells to learn and fun Lego related levels based on the films, theres plenty of fun to have firing spells at your co-op player and computer controlled characters, exploring Lego Hogwarts is fun, unlocking different areas and completing tasks. The lessons to learn the spells are always good fun and sometimes challenging, my favourite was learning the spell to stop the pixies with Professor Lockhart. Ironically one of my least favourite of the films being one of my favourite in this Lego Game.
This game contains hours of fun, and we only touched the main storyline. You have the opportunity to return to each level with chosen characters to complete the game 100% completing all tasks, collecting all Gold Bricks and becoming the truest of "True Wizards" but we are yet to take advantage of this but maybe many years from now we will have spent more evenings completing each chapter.
If you're looking for a great fun game to play with your partner or friend, and also a Harry Potter fan, I wholeheartedly recommend this game.
