    Not the best Lego game but a nice game, nevertheless. The way they tell the movies is funny and interesting - although brief and fast paced for obvious reasons; there's tons of content after all. Thing is, I'm not quite sure the whole Lego mechanics fit the Harry Potter universe that well. It feels brilliant sometimes and sometimes dull and mediocre. Without mentioning this is, by far, theNot the best Lego game but a nice game, nevertheless.

The way to unlock characters is frustrating, instead of earning them by playing as the character, you instead have to buy them and sometimes they are quite expensive. Also the levels sometimes look ugly and unplayable, however the magic Power makes almost all the characters unique which is impossible for a lego game. Overall Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 is like the other lego games but adds one power that changes the entire style of the game, it still has the realistic issue as well. (2/5 Play It If Your A Fan Of The Series)… Expand

    m not sure on what others think, but my decision is that this is the best platform to play Lego games on. I have already reviewed this game for the Wii & found that it was not as interesting as playing on the PlayStation 3, as the controls are more difficult even with the
