Fuck J.K. Rowling. Do not continue to financially support the Harry Potter brand.
Anyway, compared to Years 1-4, this feels "just okay" to me--an unfortunate step down from one of the highlights of classic-style Lego games. The QOL improvements are nice but are applied to stories that much like their respective movies, are drifting away from the whimsical initial selling points of the series and towards more dour circumstances--something I just don't think these games benefit from. It's worth finishing the story after investing in it with Years 1-4, but the 100% reward is now a stud fountain, don't bother going for it.

After enjoying the first part, I finally had the chance to take a closer look at the second one. In some aspects, I like the second part even better than many others believe. However, it became somewhat repetitive towards the end. All in all, a solid game. I'll probably complete it 100% soon if time allowsˆˆ
This game was absolutely an improvement from the first installment. This time I was able to complete the game 100% without any game breaking bugs. In fact I didn't encounter much bugs while playing this game while the first installment was just full of bugs. This game had a lot more gimmicks compared to the first one, most of them were fun but the one i was really annoyed about was Aguamenti. Main reason why I hated this spell was because it was bugged at times. There was a point I was afraid I wouldn't be able to 100% because of this spell while getting one of the collectibles the water meter wasn't going up. Other than that I didn't really have any other complaints about this game. Overall this game was more enjoyable than the first LEGO Harry Potter game.
Unlike the previous Harry Potter Lego, this game's jokes are a bit off-putting. Especially if a fan of the book. Some are hilarious, but others fall short, but that's a problem with how much darker the source material got and the people who made this game trying to get in jokes and hilarious moments in the sensitive and depressing scenes of the series such as the death of various main characters.
The last two years are a massive pain with Death Eaters appearing everywhere and then causing you damage by shooting you and getting mobbed by them. This is a cause of frustration, however as this mostly happens in the last part of the game then you don't lose any studs when you get killed which is very suiting.
As I managed to unlock the x4 multiplier I've managed to get enough studs to afford anything and make completing this game 100% so much easier.
I really can't wait to play the Marvel Lego heroes game.
