    I bought Lego Harry Potter a few years ago on Steam. It had good reviews and sounded casual and fun (it's for kids). I had a crappy laptop at the time, so when I encountered serious crashes every half hour or so, I figured it was my crappy laptop up to its old tricks.

    Last week, equipped with my modern, custom built PC, I played through the first level with no issues. Upon loading up the second level and walking around for a few minutes, it crashed with no error message. After several more tries I've had to face the truth: I will not be playing this children's game.

    On the plus side, if you don't experience constant crashes, its a fun and easy game, as I experienced in the first level. Very cute and funny.    … Expand

    Worst lego game ever, completely mixed up and not a fun game. This game will only bore you and waste your time with it's pointless levels. Lego has failed in all ways.

    Sorry, but positive feedback is not available in your region. At least until your leadership changes the two-faced policy in their actions and statements.

    Not that fun. Very linear and too much hand holding. Also very short, it just contained the absolute key parts of the movies. I would have like it more if it was more side exploring options.

    Freezes a lot and you often have to do some magic wit the options to avoid bugging out the game in some places. Basically, it wouldn't be bad, even if it's a bit boring, but with these sufferings I can't recommend it.

    A joyous and addictive action puzzler. [Sept 2010, p.102]

    The comedic cutscenes toying with canon, the hundreds of hidden things to find, and the general sense of a great LEGO game paired with a great series really makes this game a standout.

    The concept of LEGO Games blends perfectly with the Harry Potter franchise. Possibly the best LEGO Game to date!
