    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.

    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.

There is also a lot of game play. I was surprised at how many hours I put into this.    … Expand

    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

    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.
