LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a love letter to fans of the Boy Who Lived. The comedic cutscenes toying with canon, the hundreds of hidden things to find, and the general sense of a great LEGO game paired with a great series really makes this game a s...
Great recreations of characters and environments from the movies/books; local coop is solid, especially with kids; loads to see and do, if you feel so inclined.
Repetitive gameplay and objectives are a drag, particularly in singleplayer; some Potter elements aren't well represented here; online coop not on the disc.
Funny and charming, Tons of variety and replay value, Downplays combat in favor of coin collecting, Lots of hidden nooks and crannies.
Inconsistent targeting, Random bugs.
Harry's adventure into Lego land is exactly what you'd want it to be: charming, fun, and chock-full of secrets. ...

Abstract: If you're familiar with developer Traveller's Tales' previous Lego games, you might think you know what Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is like even before you've played it--and you'd be partially right. In this game, just as in Lego Star Wars and its ilk...

While it expertly captures the heart and essence of both the Rowling books and the popular films, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is bogged down by trite gameplay mechanics and a lack of innovation in TT's long-running series of LEGO adaptations...
Abstract: You’ve got to hand it to LEGO videogame creator Traveller’s Tales. The British Software House has done a fantastic job at taking the insanely popular brick building game and bringing on board some incredibly well known brands to fuse the two together t...
Where Lego Potter works is in its natural fit to the established world. The camera has largely been fixed (especially in the argument-inducing two-player) and fans of the boy wizard will no doubt fall in love Lego’s vision of Hogwarts. A perfect fit fo...
Traveller's Tales stellt mit wieder ein LEGO-Spiel in Bestform in die Regale. An jeder Ecke des hübsch in Szene gesetzten Harry Potter-Universums gibt es für mich etwas zu entdecken. Dabei ist besonders erfreulich, das, nicht nur Dank der zahlreichen ...
