It doesn't take seven years at Hogwarts to see that Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 looks to be packed with magical charm (hopefully as much as its predecessor). And it goes without saying, Lego Dumbledore? Adorable.

TBH, some of the recent Lego games have been quite cool. The first Lego Harry Potter is the best to date and i certainly hope this game will be even better.
Good casual fun.

All the games are identical. Only skinned differenly. I played Batman, Starwars and Indiana Jones, and they are all the same game.
How is this any different from previous ones? .....
I rest my case.

@DigitalEmporer I have to agree, despite garnishing negative karma for having an opinion opposite to the hivemind. I played through (most, not all) of LEGO: Harry Potter years 1-4 and it was a boring mess. Too much of it was grinding and the storyline was poorly rehashed and would be hard to make out had I not previously seen the movies. This generation of LEGO games just seem unnecessary. What happened to the glorious days of LEGO island? LEGO Harry Potter and Star Wars have been very easy and very boring platformers. It would be nice for everyone to stop circlejerking over how "great" it is and realize it's an old game rehashed with a new skin and story. I wish they could make a decent platformer like Crash Bandicoot or have a new building block system like Minecraft. It's like everyone's blind to how much of a boring grind this game is.

I bought the first game. So this is definitely a must buy

Once the inevitable HP: Years 1-7 collection with some extra content comes out, I'll pick that up. The collections of two games have always been worth it in the Lego series, but it always seems that the initial standalone titles are a little skimpy on content for me.

@Courtney I got at least 25 hours out of the first game because I went for the Platinum trophy. I imagine that this game will feature the same length of gameplay since Book 7 is split into two parts, just like in the movies.
