We got this on the release date, being huge Harry Potter fans from the books to the movies to the games. My kids (7, 11, 14) LOVED it from the first moment! I love the humor in the lego games, and I love the theme of good vs. evil in Harry Potter in general.
When i first heard of LEGO Harry Potter I'm like, it sounds dumb but i totally need that. Now i love it! I finished the whole game and i'm going to play it again! I apprecite LEGOS more now!!!!
This game was ok, but definetly not worth over forty dollars. It's mainly the remake of the first four harry potter movies rolled in one--lego style. I didn't like how dark it was and how practically impossible it was to see much. I was also annoyed at their voices, for they didn't say anything. Every cut scene all you heard was "ehhh" and "oooh" and "ahhh"! Plus you could call this an ad. BUT overall, i had a really fun time playing it! :D You should really only get this if you're a Harry Potter fan (i'm not but still enjoyed it) and it's probably going to be more fun for the older crowd. Anyway, i rate this 7 out of 10! :D
It's fun, but sometime's it not that good.
Sometimes it gets too violent for kids because most of the time you are able to levitate people and put them wherever you want.
They have Harry Potter symbols and Lego logos all over.
Other than that it's easy to play, and cool.
Cdric diggory dies and there are death eater and curelty like voldemort trying to kill you and lucis malfoy captures dobby and treats him like a slave and you can play as death eaters and lucis malfoy voldemort and a few santers it a pretty goood game but can get killed and you can kill other people there are splles use that can stun you torture you disarm you and kill you and i rate it 5 and up cuzwe there is some iffy stuf for a 1,2,3and4 year old to be watching this game

A game that is entertaining and funny. A great family game.
Wow. Since I got this game, I was amazed. The controls are very simple, and when you start playing this game, you just can't stop! The controls are just like the other LEGO games, but instead of punching or kicking, you use spells on things. This is also a great family game. There can be 2 players. But there is one teensy problem with multiplayer. When one person goes a certain distance away from the other person, a straight black line appears on the screen. Well, I guess it's better than dying and spawning where the other person is. Anyway, about the rating. This game is rated E10+ for Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor. Yes, there is cartoon violence throughout, but there's nothing to be worried sick about. Everything just breaks into LEGO pieces when you zap it with a spell. Nothing bad at all. There is also potty humor, e.g., Harry shakes his but while under the invisibility cloak. The game is REALLY funny. If you are a fan of LEGOs or LEGO games, this is the perfect game for you. There is so much to explore and unlock in the world of Harry Potter!
If you're cool with the whole Harry Potter mythology, this is a very enjoyable game. Story line is pretty close to actual book/movie plot line. Lots of puzzles to play and areas to explore. The game overall is very intuitive and it's easy to figure out how to operate controls. Much better than Lego Star Wars which seems like one non-stop battle. I only wish they would have the option to make primary controls switch after every quest is completed so more than one child could take active lead in the game. Lots of arguments of which way to go because on person is always in control of the game play.
Violence (E): Nothing bad, aside from some scary stuff.
Sexual Content (E): Mild kisses.
Consumerism (E): Legos are your background.
Social Behavior (E): Voldermort is a bad character your kids shouldn't act as.
ok, i am SICK of video games being ads. now gaming just feels like watching commercials. it would be about three stars if it wasnt an obvious lego ad! otherwise, its ok, but i am sick of game-ads.
The only reason I say it isn't on for everybody is because for young children or people who don't know the books and movies it can be difficult to find your way around. If you know the books or are good at video games you should be fine.
True to the books and movies and interesting game play.
This is my personal favorite of all the Lego video games due to there being more puzzles and problem solving and less combat. As a fan of the books and movies I was very impressed with the consistency of the scenes and storyline.
My son started playing this at age 4 and found the almost constant aiming (pointing at objects with the controller) pretty difficult, but that just gave me an excuse to play with him.
I found a few times while sandboxing in Hogwarts that I couldn't go back to complete something if I missed it the first time through. This is frustrating, but I don't think it's a bug, I think it's meant to require more in depth strategizing.
Replay capability is excellent.
Really enjoyable game
