The new trailer for Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 takes these recurring tropes and adds them to the world of Hogwarts, Muggles, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, sprinkling in iconic moments from the first four blockbuster books throughout. Without a release date for the game – and with the first half of the final Harry Potter film not hitting theaters until next November – we worry it might be awhile before we get our hands on this block-breaking version of Harry.

So they release Years 1-4 now, sometime after the Deathly Hallows movie(s?) is made they release Years 5-7, and then six months later they release the Complete Saga edition with a couple extra levels and an extra tweak or two and sell it for another $60.
Oh no you don't. You got me on that one before, darn you. This time, I'll just wait for the Complete Saga edition. :P

Oh, come on, it's not THAT bad.
1) Even on XBOX, the game will only be $50 to start, not $60.
2) These games quickly drop to $20, even the complete Star Wars (which is when I got that one)
As with any game, the longer you wait, the cheaper you get it, but again, the longer you wait.
But I enjoyed Star Wars, Indy, and Rock Band, so odds are I'll get this one sooner than later.

Something bad happened to the LEGO games after Star Wars.
Indy and Batman lacked something... magical... such as the Force...

For some reason, I really want a Lego: Prince of Persia based off the Sands of Time trilogy. The lack of a large cast of characters would definitely be a problem, but I think it'd still be pretty fun.

GameStop has a release date of March 2nd. It was bumped from a Jan 5th release date about a month ago. My insider says that it was due to the Lego: Rock Band and Lego: Indy 2 games being so close together and they don't want any fatigue to set in.

Usually I don't bother commenting on the articles I choose not to read; usually.

What are Legos? Is it like Lego at all?

I think this trailer was on the Half-Blood Prince Blu-ray. I'm not sure though, since I didn't feel like loading the video, but it's probably the same one since both this video and the Blu-ray/DVD were released around the same time.

I am kind of getting sick of the Lego games... but it's hard to deny that they are the most successful movie game tie-ins ever.
