In addition to traditional levels, you’ll also take part in classes to learn new spells to help solve the game’s many puzzles. Ghosts will lead you from one objective to the next, leaving a trail of ghostly Lego pieces like so many breadcrumbs. In line with the series, players explore the hub, breaking everything in site and collecting Lego studs. From the Gryffindor common room and the moving staircases, to the many classrooms and the Great Hall, players will explore every nook and cranny of Hogwarts, making for a grand adventure.
Most of the games are set primarily at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the artists at TT Games did a fantastic job of capturing the sprawling school and its grounds. Originally released as Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7, together they make up the entire original Harry Potter saga. That’s not necessarily a bad thing in concept, but Lego Harry Potter Collection offers no reason for someone who played the earlier iterations of those games to pick up this new package. Instead, they decided to remaster its previous two Lego Harry Potter games and package them together for the latest generation of hardware. Interactive Entertainment the perfect opportunity to release a new LEGO game revisiting JK Rowling’s magical world and the adventures of Newt Scamander.
