    A great game for anyone who loved legos as a kid. The environments look fantastic and include a nice mix of lego objects and standard graphics. Casting spells on everything is actually a lot of fun. Plus, the cut scenes are entertaining and add a lot of humor to the story.

    This is a family friendly game, so don't expect much in the way of challenges. You will spend most of your time zapping things looking for stud coins, which is fun at first, but gets a little repetitive by the end.    … Expand

    It's another good installment of the Lego video game series. Certainly it's not as fun as Lego Star Wars, but it still holds its own. Magic is just as fun as The Force and you get a lot of different spells to use.

Certainly it's not as fun as Lego Star Wars, but it still holds its own. Magic is just as fun as The Force and you get a lot of different spells to use. Splitscreen is also a very welcome addition to the series if you co-op play; previously, you had to have both player characters in the same screen, but now you can wander off and it creates two separate views. There's a lot of things to collect, especially in Hogwarts, and there's a detector for almost all of them so it doesn't get to be too hard. There are tons of different puzzles and almost none of them will require an FAQ because you get stuck. Good fun all around, and (according to Steam) at least 32 hours of gameplay. There are a few bugs, but nothing that kills the game. It 100% crashes for me whenever you exit the game, but that doesn't really matter. It also occasionally crashes randomly during play, but it doesn't set you back much unless you're in a level. I also encountered a few oddities and glitches, but again nothing that kills then game or prevents 100% completion.… Expand

    7,6/10
    Best TT game after "Star Wars". Lego-format perfectly suits for "harry potter" theme. Globally, the gameplay is gorgeous+ nice atmosphere, the interaction between magic and the Lego world is done creatively, but still there are minuses, for example, with the character’s abilities wheel,
    there is 1 absolutely useless ability that allows you to simply mock bots, you can buy    7,6/10

    there is 1 absolutely useless ability that allows you to simply mock bots, you can buy different types of bullying, but shooting with a wand will be a random charge, you can’t choose, and it gets boring after a couple of shots, an absolutely unnecessary ability,
    the rest of the wheel is also oddly used, out of 6 magics, only 2 are real abilities and they should be selected, the rest are applied automatically, which somehow resets the need for this wheel+Here, often you will have to learn a new ability in the same rooms locations of the school
    + Which is very bad for Lego, the characters here are uninteresting, some students, all the same, therefore you don’t have much motivation to farm money here, and this is 90% of what a person doing in a Lego game)
    +Gold blocks are absolutely unnecessary here, why collect them? They practically dont open anything, on the other hand, the useful abilities of the red blocks money multiplier can be easily opened, even before the end of the game, which is definitely a plus and suggests that at that time tt games didnt yet have a goal to make a super-farming game for 50 hours.
    I don’t even know what to say about the plot, I didn’t watch the films, but I didn’t really understand anything from the current cutscenes, although sometimes it was interesting to watch.

    Лучшая Лего игра после "Звёздных войн". Гарри поттеру идеально подходит лего-формат. Глобально геймплей шикарен+атмосферка, взаимодействие магии и лего-мира сделаны креативно,
    но всё-таки есть и недостатки, например, с колесом способностей персонажа,
    есть 1 абсолютно бесполезная способность, которая позволяет вам просто издеваться над ботами, вы можете купить разные виды издевательств, но стрелять палочка будет случайным зарядом, выбрать нельзя, да и это надоедает за пару выстрелов, абсолютно ненужная способность,
    остальное колесо тоже юзается странно, из 6 магий только 2 являются способностями и их надо выбирать, остальные применяются автоматически, что как-то немного обнуляет вообще надобность в этом колесе+Тут ещё очень часто вам придётся выучивать новую способность в одних и тех же комнатах шкалки
    +Что очень плохо для лего, персонажи тут неинтересные, одинаковые студенты какие-то, следовательно копить деньги у вас особо нет мотивации, а ведь это 90% того, что человек делает в лего игре)
    +Золотые блоки тут абсолютно не нужные, зачем их копить? Они практически ничего не открывают, с другой стороны полезные способности множителя денег у красных блоков можно легко открыть, даже до финала игры, что определённо плюс и говорит о том, что в то время у tt games ещё не было цели делать супер-фармилку на 50 часов.
    По сюжету даже не знаю, что сказать, я не смотрел фильмы, но я особо ничего не понял из нынешних катсцен, хотя местами было интересно.    … Expand

    Good game for everyone who likes magic world from Joanne K. Rowling and typical Lego game. Unfortunately this game was made by story of the film, not book. This game can make you feel like you're part of story. So i put 8)

    Das bisher beste Lego Game, das wir gespielt haben.

    Man startet spielt nicht immer, wobei größtenteils, kein lineares Level eines Kapitels, sonder läuft durch ganz Hogwarts inkl. dem Quidditch Feld und angrenzedem Wald.

    Wenn man durch Hogwarts läuft wird man dann oft in Klassenzimmer gelotst und dort habt ihr entweder Unterricht und beseitigt irgendein Chaos, wie auch in den Filmen oder braut eine Trank und erlernt dadurch eine Fähigkeit oder könnt in dem Zimmer irgendwo lang, weil ihr stärker geworden seid oä. und manchmal startet da dann auch so ein lineares Level wie man es aus den anderen Lego Games kennt.

    Ich fand es jetzt weder besser, noch schlechter, es war halt mal was anderes und hat Spaß gemacht!    … Expand

    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!
