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.

Excellent addition to Lego Wii games
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.

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

Fun for families to play together
We have discussion with our child about how when you "blow up" a Lego toy the can be put back together but real people can't. It isn't very violent and we play with our son as a family in 20 ish minute blocks (1 board). He really enjoys it. We are pretty conservative about what we let him (violence, language etc) so he won't read the books or see the movies for a good 3 or so years yet. It is a nice intro into a series that we enjoy.
