    Good, but beaware that this release has a lot of game breaking bugs, more compared to the originals.

    Why is this game buggier than the originals? How is that even possible? It's good tho.

    OKay this i a quick review so this game is AMAZING the level design is just MWA its like a french chef made this game. When you play this game you notice so many little details and things like that and sometimes you're gonna be like "wow i get this game in so many levels" this is no meme review or something this is actually true this game is actually really good and i'm so surprised thatOKay this i a quick review so this game is AMAZING the level design is just MWA its like a french chef made this game.

I MEAN imagine if you read the books and you want to watch the movies i tell you TO not watch the movies and play the lego games instead WHY you may ask because this lego game is ten times more faithful to the books than the movies, well there are some parts of the movie in the lego games so then people who watch the movie would understand but they reference the books all the time, so i think you will have a really great time playing this game as a harry potter fan, or even somebody looking for a game they can play and i tell you this game has content LOTS of content and its very worth the price for 40 bucks for this game. I managed to 100% complete lego harry potter years 1-4 in 35 hours ad lego harry years 5-7 40 hours to 100% complete, so you have a total of 75 amazing hours of lego gameplay. BUT sadly the one flaw is the replay value cuz after you 100% complete the game there is no reason to go back but i dont really care since there is so much content so what ever. JUST BUY THE GAME… Expand

    Like all LEGO movie-games, the whimsical gameplay is a total joy and its reconstructed stages are all filled with nostalgia and surprises.

    Years 1-4 are amazing. Years 5-7 have visual lag that's really annoying. Would give a 10 if all 7 years played smooth.

    The cinematic scenes are cute and while there isn't any talking they get the message across. You definitely know what's going on. The level designs are clever and fun. They definitely keep you engaged and entertained. These games are also surprisingly true to the books.    Years 1-4 are amazing. Years 5-7 have visual lag that's really annoying.

    I decided I might try some older lego games, after my girlfriend and I really liked Skywalker Saga. I never really liked them, and this collection highlights just why. You cannot follow any sort of story if you have not seen the movies, or read the books. The puzzles are okay, and the world is pretty well realized, but in general the gameplay is lackluster, boring and limited.

    Lego Harry Potter is a fairly enjoyable experience. The game can be relaxing due to its beautiful soundtrack and the atmosphere of Hogwarts castle, but unfortunately it can also be very boring. Essentially, if you've completed one mission, you've seen them all. Spamming one spell to destroy everything and collect coins is very repetitive and after a while, really dull.

Essentially, if you've completed one mission, you've seen them all. Spamming one spell to destroy everything and collect coins is very repetitive and after a while, really dull. Years 1-4 are good and the frame rate is stable. But 5-7 is a bit of a mess... The game is playable, but without a frame rate cap, it can fluctuate from around 50 to 25 fps. I'd prefer a capped 30 fps in years 5-7. There are many things to unlock, such as characters and spells... But unfortunately, everything is based on one idea - destroying objects and collecting coins. The first few hours of gameplay were really positive, but after a while, I got bored with the game. The story and world design are nice, but they don't give you anything new after watching the movies or reading the books.… Expand

    + dit is een unieke twist op de oude Lego formula

    + de hub wereld is uitgebreid en is logisch aan de source materiaal + de animaties van objecten zijn wacky en creatief - de game zet je default op de miscalenious spells. dit is irritant want je moet het op Wingardium Leviosa zetten om objecten te gebruiken/ kapot maken - voor some reason moet je Expecto Patronum gebruiken op    + dit is een unieke twist op de oude Lego formula

    + de hub wereld is uitgebreid en is logisch aan de source materiaal

    + de animaties van objecten zijn wacky en creatief

    - de game zet je default op de miscalenious spells. dit is irritant want je moet het op Wingardium Leviosa zetten om objecten te gebruiken/ kapot maken

    - voor some reason moet je Expecto Patronum gebruiken op dementors die uit een angstkist komen

    - de bazen zijn repetitief

    - de game kan je softlocken uit 100% (in 1-4)

    - als je een veroudering potion hebt gedronken beweeg je als een slak. gelukkig zie je het niet veel

    - de richtings noppen gaan trager als jou vooruit

    + de rode stenen zijn uniek vergeleken met andere Lego games. je moet een kist naar een uil brengen. zo weet je dat er 1 te vinden is in de kamer

    + de bonus levels zijn toffe puzzels

    conclusie:
    deze game is de perfecte grootte voor een Lego game. er zijn minor annoyingses maar ze zijn slikbaar. sommige zijn zelfs geixed in 5-7. deze game is een unieke take op de oude Lego formula die je zeker geprobeerd moet hebben    … Expand

    Just as great as lego marvel super heroes 2 if not a bit better same issues as lego marvel super heroes and they should have added voice lines and most characters do the same thing but look slightly different but still great and they're are 2 games so that makes it even better

    Good game, but I got stuck in the third year. Gets quite boring after a while.

    The two-game LEGO Harry Potter Collection offers great value for those wanting to relive the young wizard’s brick-based adventures on Nintendo Switch. It’s practically bursting with content, but the improvements offer little more to those that have experienced their magic and charm before. Even if they are starting to show their age, the games remain as some of the best in the LEGO series and a spellbinding local co-op addition to the portable home console’s library.

    All in all, The LEGO Harry Potter Collection on Switch is a fun game that is suited for all ages, and it's best played with a friend or family member. The gameplay is simple fun, and it delivers one of the better LEGO stories and environments. It's a step back for players who are coming from newer LEGO experiences, and the title has its share of technical issues on the Switch that occasionally interfere with the gameplay, but if you can look beyond those blemishes, it can provide some fun times.

    The game’s more straightforward design and focus on puzzle solving makes it stand out a little from more recent Lego games while still featuring the easy to pick-up gameplay and humor every entry is known for. Of course, that simplicity will dissuade some while attracting others, especially those looking for something younger family members can enjoy together. Having two whole games worth of content can also be seen as a double-edged sword depending on how you feel about repetition and collectibles. In short, it’s another solid Lego game with all the good and bad that come with the franchise.
