Na? Fancy Harry Potter? About the Game This Game is based, as well as "Harry Potter 5-7," on the Harry Potter Saga. So You can think Of yourself playing through the Saga in Sequence. There is also the classic "Lego Humor." Price The Price for both Games is currently a total of €40p on Steam. However, these Money are not Worth these Games, so I recommend buying in the Sale or on trusted Keysellers. Rating Your Game many Characters in this Game that are significant in the Books as well as in the movies. There is this Humour, as well as a good Implementation. The Graphics are not the Best, but they can still be played well. A must for any Harry Potter fan! However, this Version on Steam has no Achievements, although I was very looking forward to it. Also, both Parts are not Synchronized via the Steam Cloud, which is a great pity, because it is actually a must in this Day and age. There are also smaller Bugs in the PC Version, although I don't have any Problems with it. Unfortunately, this Game has crashed several times on different Devices with me so far. Pro humor,-Good Implementation, pleasantly Playable. Con no Achievements, no Synchronization, Bugs, crashes. Personal Rating I give this Game 4/10 Points. Unfortunately, this Game is almost destroyed by the Contras, especially by the Crashes. What a pity!

After 25 Hours, once through (at 37.9%) At 56 Hours with 83.4% finished I admit I have long considered whether or not I recommend this Game. At The End of the day, the positive Aspects prevailed. The extraordinary and diverse World of Harry Potter is presented here in typical Lego style. Exploring this World in detail alone takes Hours of Playtime. But even playing through the Chapters of Year 1-4 (6 Pieces each) takes a lot of Time depending on the Speed of the individual Player. I don't want to go Into the Story because I think it should be common knowledge. (If not, I recommend J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books and related Films.) What is striking about the Design of the World, as well as the Chapters, is that, in my Opinion, they are based exclusively on the Films – as far as possible. With a certain "Lego charm," however, the Game distances itself a little from the original Harry Potter. That's good, in my Opinion, as you shouldn't forget it's a Game based on the Harry Potter stories and set in the Harry Potter world, but not a Game that actually hairsmels the Harry Potter books and Movies. Of course, the essential Scenes are presented in the respective Years. However, these Scenes are presented in a partly ulcchy Way and the Core Scenes in the respective Chapters often have to be solved by the Player-for long-established Harry Potter fans – absurd Tasks. But At some point it also gets a little boring, because over the Years you play through the chapters with the always same Tasks. It also requires a little Practice – sometimes patience – To master the – a little unusual – implementation of the third Dimension ... But on The whole, it's a lovingly crafted game where definitely all Harry Potter fans, but also those who haven't dealt with the Harry Potter story before, for a few Hours – who's aiming for the 100% even have many Hours – Have great fun Be. I can only recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse yourself a little in this wonderful World and play a little Witch or Magician.
