LEGO® Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Reviews

A lot of fun!

ＢＲＵＴＡＬ ＢＡＮＧＥＲ If you could wake up in a dream and control it, wouldn’t that be proof you’re the creator of that dream?

Recommended for LEGO and Harry Potter fans! Best to buy on sale!

Awesome multiplayer. Very funny story line.

Maybe get the Harry Potter Collection, a remastered version which includes both years 1-4 and 5-8 games, over this. Played this on xbox in the past and I have good memories of, likely holds up well.

The game is good. But if you want a better gaming experience, I recommend getting the Harry Potter Collection

If you're willing to overlook minor flaws, like some of the minikits being hidden behind the uninspired "destroy X of the same object during a level" requirements and the occasional crash here and there, you're getting the single best hub world in any LEGO game ever, as well as an extremely cozy collectathon that does well to measure up after either of the Star Wars installments.

This is the first franchise turned LEGO game that I have not seen the films for. As such, my Harry Potter knowledge is minimal. This game did not exactly inspire me to watch the films. It isn't a bad game, by any means, but it was definitely not the best when compared to some of the competition. This game introduces many new features, such as spells, character variants in one slot, and finding character tokens in the levels and red bricks in the open world. It also expands upon many aspects from LEGO Indy 2, such as the open world format or the level builder. I cannot say how accurate it is to the films, though it definitely did not make me eager to watch them. It also felt a bit anticlimactic, the pacing of levels was not very great and many felt repetitive (what's up with all of the bathroom levels?), so I have some gripes with this title. Despite all of this, it is still a generally enjoyable experience and I'm sure Harry Potter fans would have a field day with this one. 7/10

I'm on a mission to play and review the over 700+ games in my Steam Library. Lego HP was one of the original Lego games and despite being as old as it is now, i'd say it still holds up. The humor and cutscenes are witty and well thought out, it feels like a Lego game while still retaining a HP feel. Probably the best HP games after Hogwarts Legacy!
