Another installment in the well-loved Lego video games franchise (see also the Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and Lego Batman franchises). Players in Lego Harry Potter follow the capers of Harry & friends through the first four books, using spells and special powers to build and break Lego bricks along the way. There's also a clever co-operative mode for two players.
