LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 Screens Released

LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 Screens Released

A trailer with 10 minutes of gameplay is out as well

Written by Matrarch on 18 August 11 at 17:12

With all of the movies in the franchise now out of the way, it seems that only the LEGO edition of the Harry Potter universe is awaiting its inevitable conclusion. While we know Traveller's Tales is hard at work on LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, we really hadn't heard much from them about the title since they shared some screenshots at E3.

Well, today they delivered in a big way, not only handing over some new screens, but also providing a ten minute long gameplay video.

I think I'll wait a bit to try this one, in case it's as glitchy as the first.

Still, screens look cool and Pirates was really good ... so I have hope.

What was glitchy about the first? Been wanting to play it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

A fair amount of things. Some collectibles could glitch on you in a variety of ways, one would disappear if you didn't pick it up before leaving the area, another would glitch if you did the steps to get it in the wrong order, etc. There was another glitch where quitting a level would make it unavailable for replay, so you couldn't get all the items in it.

They apparently patched it not too long ago, but that took a very long time for them to do. I'm unsure of how glitchy it is with the patch, but I would hope there would be no major problems now.

Well, the first 40 seconds of the video is a loading screen...so there's that to be excited about.

The first Harry Potter was my least favorite of the entire Lego series...so this gets a big frown from me.

Another case of Harry Potter wanting more money. First Deathly hallows is split into two parts to make money and now this is as well...

There was a ton of story to wrap up and they have to cover what they can; let alone ALL the material left out from the books to begin with. Splitting the game only made sense since not everyone would be on the same page with release dates.

Hope this one as well isn't as glitchy as I heard the first one was. Although I never buy lego games until a year later when they're half the cost/patched.

Those screens look very nice. Dolores Umbridge looks very well designed and the battle in the Ministry of Magic in OotP should be great fun. Harry and Sirius fighting together shall be cool.

And those screens from Deathly Hallows Part 2 look sweet, although do Harry and his friends really need to be in Hogwarts Uniform while invading Gringots.

And hopefully that picture means we'll get to play as Remus and Tonks in the Battle of Hogwarts :)

EDIT Maybe not. I've just realised that is Sirius thumping Lucius Malfoy in OotP :D Still hopefully we will get to play as Remus and the other adults in the final battle.

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

As far as people saying they milked the movies by splitting up part 7. Deathly Hollows would have been awful if they crunched it all down into one movie. SOO much content in that one book. I'm sure the more money part didn't make the decision hard though. laugh

Waiting until there's a "Platinum Edition" combining both games (and without bugs), the way they combined the two LEGO Star Wars games (at the time) into LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

btw: i had no problems with glitches in the first one. dunno if i'm lucky or if that glitchs don't occur that often.

I think it's mostly luck, since a majority of them are proven to happen if you do a specific thing, so it's just luck that we avoided doing those things.
