User Reviews about LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4

I have spent the last few days playing this game endlessly. As an avid fan of Harry Potter and Harry Potter Lego, I was beyond impressed with the story line and how it was arranged. I also found myself laughing at a lot of the scenes (and slapstick comedy) that were snuck in! This game has a lot of re-playibility as it has about 150 characters to unlock, and many other goodies too. I found the time-turner levels particularly interesting, and quite 'sentimental'. I also love the fact that you get to play a lot, and I mean a lot, of characters. Some gamers might also love the fact that Harry Potter Lego lets you express your creativity as it has a build-your-own level aspect to it.

I got the X-Box 360 version and encountered only two glitches throughout the whole game, just freezes. Although, I do hear that people are getting stuck in the Dungeon below Prof. Flitwick's Classroom. The way to get out from there is by jumping on the Dragon's snout. (If that helps!)

This is the first time I've ever played a lego game on any gaming console but if all the games (Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc.) are like this, then I'm definitely giving them a try.

CONS: Cannot wait for years 5-7 to be released. (Umbridge is my absolute favorite!)

There is one more thing that I feel that I must say (point out, stress, talk crazily about) The soundtrack of the game was AMAZING! I can't put into words the rush of emotions of playing the game while listening to the orchestra. Again, Amazing! Buy it if only for the music.

All in all... This game was just plain fun. I'd recommend it to younger people as the levels are straightforward to get through. Especially for youngsters who are also fans of HP as they'll anticipate what's going to happen next (My younger cousin found it exciting). Still, to achieve 100% and unlock all the stuff, you'd have to be pretty hardcore.

Well as hardcore as any lego game will be! -- A sequel must be in the works!

Like what many of the other reviewers said, this game has glitches. It crashes, it restarts and sometimes it just freezes, forcing you to do a manual restart on the ps3. I have played all of the other Lego games (batman, Indiana Jones, and star wars) and this game by far lacks a certain quality control aspect that is disappointing. Yet if you can get through the glitches, you can finish the game. That was something I was worried about when I first read the reviews, but I was able to get the 100% trophy a few days ago, so it is possible to complete the whole game.

As for the fun aspect, it's meant more for the Harry Potter fans out there. If you're not someone who has either read the books or watched the moving and have some sort of passing interest in the world of Hogwarts and Harry Potter, this game is a pass.
-- 100% possible

This is the best LEGO game so far! (Although I am looking forward to the LEGO Universe.) A lot of the annoying things about previous games (Most importantly, the 1 screen that both characters are limited to sharing) have been improved and the graphics are amazing! Indiana Jones 2 has these qualities but is not as much fun as the Potter game. There are scenes from the books that are not in the movies and vica-versa. The spells are extensive and effective. The characters are all inclusive (along with some unnecessary variations like characters in sweaters and nightgowns). All in all, it is just plain FUN! -- Potter Rules!

This is a game perfect for younger kids who enjoy video games. They can't die and will have continues fun that is somewhat challlenging. My son can't put it down. A must buy for little potter fans:] -- Kids approved
