Lego has been the basis of many great kids games, giving Lego Harry Potter Years two potential problems: Firstly, we've seen lots of Lego games already, and secondly the movie tie-in games have been pretty weak.
Thankfully, Lego Harry Potter Years is a lot of fun. You can play as Harry, Ron or Hermione and a host of others that are unlockable in the game. Like others in the Lego series, Lego Harry Potter Years puts a Lego twist on many of the memorable scenes from the original movies. The unique gameplay idea in this game is the spell system, that allows you to progress through the game using a range of fun magic. There is also a two player cooperative mode. Every prevalent entertainment franchise needs a Lego set.
Not only that, every popular Lego set based on said media needs a Lego video game. There are probably ancient cave paintings in France dictating this mantra. So it comes as a surprise to absolutely no one that Lego Harry Potter: Years tails off one of the world's most popular book series.
Traditionally, Lego games have been at least mildly entertaining, regardless of what franchise they come from. In the case of Harry Potter, they've got the challenging task of reviving the series video game reputation.
Harry Potter games of the past have not been great, putting it politely. The saving grace here, though, is that the game's predecessor was pretty good. We can expect more of the same, hopefully. Whatever Lego game you are playing, you kind of know what you are getting into.
They don't tend to change much from their core mechanics. As you progress through the first four of Rowling's books, you'd worry that the school might get repetitive. But it doesn't, the place gets re-decorated, new things pop up in response to your new spells, and students react to the calendar and events of the book in charming ways.
Some of the boss battles are annoying, the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is a poorly-flagged fight, but still satisfying to complete. When you enter Gringott's bonus vault, you begin to realise the scope of the game. All the sandbox stuff that's completely unnecessary, but possibly part of LEGO'S contract to remind kids that they can still build real stuff with bricks. Travellers Tales understand how much kids love games, and why they love them, because there's so much fantastic and varied stuff to do.
I feel like I shouldn't enjoy this game. I'm three times the age of its target market. But screw that, I'm a defiant reader of the kid's cover versions, and I'll enjoy this game in the same way I enjoyed the books, as an imperfect romp that manages to covers its flaws with charm and relentless action.
