Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ Has the classic Lego game comedy and humorous cutscenes.
+ Executes their own spin on the HP movies very well while keeping true to the movies.
+ Countless spells to have fun with, both already existed in the lore and newly-created spells.
- Spell mechanics can be clunky at times.
I got this game because it was on sale and I love HP and the Wizarding World. It's a game I won't go back to, but it was fun experiencing the HP movies in Lego form.

I only played Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, so I'll update my review later to include the other game. The first game was a blast to play through, reliving key moments of the movie. I will say tho, this game definitely has its share of bugs, one of which pretty much robbed me of my 100% completion. You'd think they'd care enough to fix some of the well known bugs before porting the game over, but apparently, that'd be way too convenient for the consumers.
The best Lego game I've played yet. It is based on my favorite fantasy world of all time outside of Disney which I love. The controls are for this game using the Switch's Pro Controller. The Joy-Cons are OK but not nearly as good as the Pro Controller. The graphics are amazing for this game as always in the 8th and 9th generations of video games respectively. The fact that this game managed to pack Years 1-4 and 5-7 together is so nice with 5-7 being my favorite. I recommend this game for Harry Potter fans like me who have a PS4, Xbox One or Switch. Amazing Lego game based on the amazing Wizarding World of Harry Potter. 5/5.
Aside from Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter is undoubtedly a classic of the Lego series. For me, Years 1-4 were a better experience than Years 5-7, and the stark difference in some of the core game mechanics was unsettling and at times, slightly off-putting. This game remains a classic, and is always a fun time when picked up.
Cute, casual, and hilarious. A wonderful rendition of Hogwarts that was the definitive version until the release of Hogwarts Legacy. You know what you're getting with the LEGO games, and this is the formula executed to great success.
100% Completion Notes: Always fun to run through LEGO levels blowing everything up and rotating through a huge cast of characters. Good co-op fun as always.

definitely a solid entry as far as lego games go but could have benefitted from a couple of basic features like an overworld map for the castle, more character variety (seriously who wants to play as Harry with red pajamas vs blue), and not so many levels where you're just slowly creeping along and following someone etc. other than that pretty good though, spells are fairly enjoyable
É um jogo Lego não se dá para esperar muitas coisas. Visto que é um jogo infantil, ele é muito bom e entrega isso, todas as mecânicas e jogabilidades são bem simples e fáceis. A história é contada bem por cima e resumindo bastantes coisas mas não se pode julgar (é um jogo Lego para crianças), algumas coisas e personagens acabam não fazendo tanto sentido mas volto a dizer que é um jogo Lego para crianças então é até compreensível. O jogo 1 tem mecânicas um pouco diferentes das do 2, o que é bom já que se bater nostalgia você pode jogar os dois e não apenas um onde já seria tudo igual ao outro. O jogo entrega o que se pede e que já não é muito né, e acredito que se for para fazer crianças se interessar por esse mundo e franquia ele cumpre isso.
Played these two games with my wife in January (Years 1-4) and April (years 5-7) and enjoyed it as expected. TT Games and Lego have put out such great adventure games with lots of collectables, puzzles, story adaptations, and humor.
While not as funny as Star Wars, I think I liked this more than the Marvel Lego titles.

Felt weirdly structured for a Lego game, where rather than unlocking characters with new abilities, you more often than not unlock new abilities for the main trio (and by extension every other character I guess), where by the end, there are only a handful of abilities that aren't covered by them. I felt Years 1-4 were a little shaky, but Years 5-7 improved significantly. Not my favorite Lego games, but solid & worth playing.
Also it made me nostalgic for when I was way into Harry Potter as a kid.
