Lego Harry Potter plays like a secret lost chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A chapter where Harry goes mad with power, puts on a fake moustache and runs, giggling, through Diagon Alley, turning people into ice cubes with a wand that looks like a carrot.

I was a huge fan of LEGO Star Wars when it came out back in 2005, and also of the Original Trilogy follow-up. These games brought interesting gameplay and whimsical storytelling to life in a way that captured the essence of their source material and a humor and lightness that made them eminently...

+ Fun; fun; fun! + Excellent retelling of the stories + Built-in replayability

– PSP game is overly simplistic – PC game could use fewer console-specific references – PC game needs in-level saves

To play his game is so much fun but having to upgeade my video card and work so hard to get around all the glitches might not be worth it. A game that sells for 19.99 caused me to go buy a 150.00 video card.

Another Lego game that is fun to play at all levels. This game is made for every harry potter fan as it brings humor to potter franchise. Highly recommended for Lego lovers.

Summary: Looks fun, sounds fun, but too buggy to play. Pros: -Cute writing -Fun and easy Cons: -Crashed consistently I bought Lego Harry Potter a few years ago on Steam. It had good reviews and sounded casual and fun (it's for kids).

There is a ton of content, and much to do here in this game. The visual environment, background music, vocals all complement into a total game for all ages. I suggest using one of the save slots for two players to game together and use the other 3 for solo gaming or perhaps 2 and 2.

Game has better graphics than the prior Lego games and has extended video shorts that help the game connect to the different segments as you progress; It has 4 save slots, 2 player ability and allows for some tweaking of video resolution and other graphic options.

The game options for spell purchases, entering unlocked levels, red bricks and other game "management" things are scattered throughout Diagon Alley instead of being all in one spot like the Lego Star Wars where every thing was located in the Cantina; You have to run around a little to get to those.

After my comments below I contacted the customer support line with my problem. They asked me to send them a diagnostic report, after which I got a reply saying that my chipset was not supported and I needed to upgrade it. Saying, in effect, this is not a software problem but a hardware one.
