    Delivers the most fully realized vision of Rowling's world that our medium has seen. TT Games has once again raised their own bar when it comes to splitscreen co-op. Fans of the books and movies will find immeasurable joy in exploring the iconic locales with their favorite characters that have become so ingrained in the pop-culture lexicon over the past 15 years.

    Not a simple clone of the first game. There are some major improvements like the graphical effects, the new skills and spells and the setting is darker than in Years 1-4. The co-op mode is damn fun and the typical Lego humor is present. If you like Harry Potter or the Lego games, go out and get the game.

    LEGO Harry Potter: Anni 5-7 is an especially well crafted game which brilliantly depicts the world of Harry Potter and without any doubt the best entry in the renowned TT Games' franchise, with the usual gameplay enriched by the best features added to the last few games.
  4. Years 5 - 7 follows form, but less so than in the past. [Jan 2012, p.81]

  1. This new LEGO Harry Potter game is fantastic. After heavy disappointment from the official film tie-in's, Traveller's Tales has really nailed it! I'm a big fan of the original Years 1-4 and 5-7 builds upon the charm and freedom of the first one to give a really comprehensive Potter experience. I especially love being able to roam around London and get on a train to Hogsmeade and walk around the castle, meet new characters and experience all the extra bonus content that the dev's have managed to get in there. I have been following this game eagerly since it was announced and I read that it was one "by Potter fans, for Potter fans" and there is some lovely subtle references of the books (but left of out the films). This game did not disappoint and it's exactly as I imaged it would be. Anyone who claims to be a Potter fan needs this game in their lives.â Expand

  3. This is exactly as I imagined it to be. Years 1-4 was great fun, and 5-7 builds on this with new spells, characters, abilities, locations. The developers have done a great job of cramming everything from the Potter-verse into the game. It also looks great. The best Potter game EVER!â Expand
  4. A HUGE improvement in comparison to Lego Years 1-4. This looks, feels and plays in a much better way. The graphics are smooth, the story is told in a more cohesive way and, in the end, it's much more fun than the previous game. I still don't think the Lego mechanics fit the Harry Potter universe very well, but no doubt the team did their homework here and delivered a better product than before. Definitely not the best Lego game (not even in the top 5), but a good game and a good Lego game. Expand
