Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4 is an upcoming video game in the Lego video game franchise, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros.^[2] The game is based on the Lego Harry Potter line and its storyline will cover the first four books of the Harry Potter series: Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. A teaser trailer was released on the day of the game's official announcement.^[3]

Gameplay

Lego Harry Potter's gameplay is similar to that of previous Lego games, with an emphasis on collecting. Casting spells is an integral part of the gameplay; few are available from the start, but more are unlocked as the player progresses. The wingardium leviosa spell, which almost all characters can use, enables the player to lift and arrange Lego bricks. Potion-making is another integral feature; potions can help the player complete levels or, if created incorrectly, have adverse side effects such as turning the player into a frog. Over 100 characters are playable, including Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, Professor Quirrell, and Fang.^[4] Some characters have different abilities, based on the skills of their book counterparts. For instance, Ron and Hermione aren't good broomstick riders, so when they jump on a broom, they are hard to control. Harry is a very good broomstick rider and he is able to perform tricks and shoot jinxes, when he is on a broom.^[5]
