Overview

The Lego Series of video games is incredibly popular. While it is the Lego games set in the Star Wars, Marvel and DC Universe that seem to get the majority of attention. The Lego Harry Potter series is every bit as good as those games. This game follows the events of the first four movies and recreates them very well. This is the first in the Harry Potter series of apps, you can read our review of Harry Potter: Years 5-7.

Features include:

  • Amazing graphics, great controls, fun use of the Harry Potter license, takes a long time to complete

Quality

This is a very well made game. TT the people who make the Lego games always seem to do an incredible job in these licensed Lego games that they keep producing. Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 is one of the best looking Lego games that they have made. This is a game that is just full to the brim with fan service. There are just so many little details that Harry Potter fans will get a huge kick out of.

Education

We did not rate this as an educational app, however this app is far from mindless fun, as you need to problem solving skills to get through each level.

Entertainment

This is where the game excels. A Harry Potter fan will instantly fall in love with this game. It recreates the events from the first four movies very well. But it does it with a great sense of humor. A great part of the fun in this game are its amazing cut scenes that show the events of the movies in Lego form. The game has a great mix of platform sections, puzzle solving and some really cool action sections where you need to battle with enemies and cast spells.

The game has a vast number of levels and just a ton of your favorite Harry Potter characters from the movies. This is a game that encourages you to go back and play levels you have already beaten with new characters as you can use their special abilities to unlock things that you could not get to the first time you played a level. The game features all of your favorite moments from the first four movies such as the Tri Wizard Tournament, taking on the Basilisk in the Chamber Of Secrets and many more amazing moments.

One thing I want to mention is that even if your child is not a die hard Harry Potter fan that they would still have a great time with this game. The reason for this is that it is just so well made and above all else it’s a really fun game to play.

Value

This is a game that seems to go up and down in price pretty often. But most of the time you can get it for under a buck which is just amazing value when you consider not only how well made the game is, but also that there are around 40 levels and a ton of characters to play as also. There is easily over 20 hours of game play in this game!

Child Friendliness

This app could definitely use some in-game help, guided walk-through, or hints. This would make the game easier, and less frustrating, for novice gamers.

There are no in app purchases required here. You can unlock everything in the game through game play which is always nice. Unfortunately, this app contains unprotected links to other WB games.

Have fun in the world of Harry Potter, but in Lego Form. Relive the best moments from the first four movies in this awesome game.
