    This game is a big improvement over year's 1-4. You don't have to wait to use spells as you learn them. You also get to duel. The 3DS version is visually breathtaking.

    This is exactly as I imagined it to be. Years 1-4 was great fun, and 5-7 builds on this with new spells, characters, abilities, locations. The developers have done a great job of cramming everything from the Potter-verse into the game. It also looks great. The best Potter game EVER!â

    This new LEGO Harry Potter game is fantastic. After heavy disappointment from the official film tie-in's, Traveller's Tales has really nailed it!

I'm a big fan of the original Years 1-4 and 5-7 builds upon the charm and freedom of the first one to give a really comprehensive Potter experience. I especially love being able to roam around London and get on a train to Hogsmeade and walk around the castle, meet new characters and experience all the extra bonus content that the dev's have managed to get in there. I have been following this game eagerly since it was announced and I read that it was one "by Potter fans, for Potter fans" and there is some lovely subtle references of the books (but left of out the films). This game did not disappoint and it's exactly as I imaged it would be. Anyone who claims to be a Potter fan needs this game in their lives.â… Expand

    Harry Potter è uno sfigato, ma questa versione Lego è più simpatica rispetto a quella del film. Lego Harry Potter 5-7 migliora il predecessore e accontenterà i fan del maghetto (sfigato) di Hogwarts.

    This is my favorite Lego video game, my favorite Harry Potter video game, and one of my top 5 favorite videos games of all time and is an A+ video game. I loved the humor they added to the story's. The visuals and graphics were fantastic, I especially loved the creatures and animals. The incorporation of the movies scores were terrific. I love this game.

    A HUGE improvement in comparison to Lego Years 1-4. This looks, feels and plays in a much better way. The graphics are smooth, the story is told in a more cohesive way and, in the end, it's much more fun than the previous game.

    Not as good as the first one, to be fair. I had to look up cheats and have Harry stand on certain angles to complete a few tasks, which was very frustrating. Otherwise, gorgeous visually, and loved the Spectrespecs!

    This was a very good game indeed. I had very high expectations for this game and I'll admit I was disappointed with the Battle of Hogwarts. I was expecting it to be a very huge battle, you see. The new character models are great and there is more places to explore such as London, Platform 9 3/4 and Hogsmeade.

    LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is an excellent sequel to LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. It portrays the events of Harry's final three years as a student very colorfully. The game employs the use of the films' soundtrack very well. The character count is over 160, which is quite a bit. The spell effects are much snazzier.

    Good things : great graphics, nice soundtracks, wide variety of spells, potions and characters, fantastic open world, nice animation, SUPERB gameplay, wonderful objectives like getting gold bricks and unlocking new characters.

    Bad things : nothing.
    10/10 for me

    some funny parts, and relatively enjoyable, BUT suffers from some issues 1-4 didn't have, some awkward camera placement makes some puzzles frustrating, and the dual? by the third one i was already board of doing THE EXACT SAME THING for every dual. some times 3 or more in a single chapter.

    The sequel to Lego Harry Potter 1-4 is an improved version that has its best moments and worst moments.

It’s best moments is the fact that the magic powers are still here and they managed to make all the characters in the roster unique somehow. Also the levels are brighter and use the magic powers nicely. Also the hub eras are unique like for example the school and the town of magic thingy. However the worst moments arrive rather quickly. You still can’t unlock the characters by playing as them in the levels you instead have to buy them, and they are stupidly expensive. Also there is still some levels that are unplayable and it’s really sad because this game uses its magic powers in so many unique ways. Overall the game is fun and offers so many unique characters levels and hub eras, but the unlocking system and the dark unplayable levels make the game sometimes weak. (3/5 Good Give It A Try)… Expand

    Magia klocków wciąż działa. Świat czarodziejów jest niezwykle odwzorowany z dbałością o detale a historia oraz zwiedzanie Hogwartu bawi niezmiennie

    The touchscreen moments are pretty lacklustre, but the biggest waste of the Vita hardware comes from the lack of co-op. multiplayer. Solid, but never spell-binding. [May 2012, p81]

    The final chapters in LEGOs Harry Potter adventure deliver a charming adaption of the last four movies in the franchise. The game features everything you would expect from a Traveller's Tales game, but introduces nothing new to the series. A Repetitive gameplay and somewhat easy riddles decreases the challenge. Still, fans will appreciate the humoristic and enthusiastic retelling of the story, not to forget the huge amount of unlockable content.

    Two over-exposed series taking a creaky final ride together. [Feb 2012, p.85]
