LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Announced (Plus, it's Coming to NGP)

Right, right--we all know that LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is a no brainer. Warner Bros. and Traveller's Tales telegraphed this when the last game was called LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.

The wizarding world of LEGO was one of the weaker effects from Traveller's Tales, albeit far better than either iteration of LEGO Indiana Jones. Considering the series was founded with a source of magic (the Force), you'd think "real" magic would have transitioned nicely, but it seemed to make the environments overcomplicated. It's hard to enjoy interacting with what's around you when you don't know what to interact with in the first place.

Notably, the press release also promises a NGP version of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. The press release doesn't make any mention of that as a codename, either. Much of Sony's PSP successor remains a secret, but it's expected the company's E3 press conference will solve many of our questions.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 arrives sometime this holiday season.

Let me know when there is a Lego Simpsons game. Then we'll talk.

Sure why not, those last two were pretty good.

Three Lego Puzzle/Adventure games in one year? This is a record for the series no doubt. Now give me my Terminator Legos!

so close...

The first Potter game is clearly the best Lego game so far.... less reliance on combat and tons of insane thinsg to do.

I'm sure this one will be awesome too.

Hope it'll look as good as the LEGO Pirates game.

literally there Dev kit must be made out of Lego blocks at this point, turn the handle it shits a game out.

Granted, the world they are based on and Lego-ifying of the cutscenes is really what makes a Lego game, but I quite enjoyed the first Lego Harry Potter as a relaxing girlfriend-friendly game.

I found Harry Potter to be the best Lego game so far. My only one gripe with the game was the hub world was so big you could get lost easily.

Less glitchy than the first I hope.  Just this evening played through a second time and the 100% chievo didn't pop.  Argh!!

not big harry potter fan and i think i have played too many lego games in las few years.

I'm gonna wait for the inevitable years 1-7 complete package.

I really liked the last LEGO Harry Potter game with its emphasis on exploration and puzzles over combat. Sure it was a bit janky and the puzzles could be a bit obtuse but I had a ton of fun.

I'm honestly getting burned out on LEGO games, but God damn I can't pass this up!

TT does need to bring some change to the table with this one, though. A lot of the features in the first game *CoughspellwheelCough*were fine and dandy but they just didn't work well enough. And please, for the love of Dumbledore, make sure to thoroughly test the games this time! I've always had glitches in my LEGO games and it's very tiresome.

I want to see the zany Lego take on the death of Dumbledore.
Next Lego game needs to be edgier maybe base it off of the last movie trilogy I watched.  The Girl Who Played With Legos.

The Lego games have been getting better and better. Really nice games with a lot to do. I can't say I'll be buying them though

Why not at this point.

Why not at this point.

I enjoyed the first one, so this can only be a good thing.

I guess these games do something for someone so more power to them. As far as movie licence games go, this seems to be the best angle. Because you can follow the same story, and yet not. Play with preconceptions and such.

They never seem to mess up the Lego games, so I guess I'll be getting this as someone's present this year.

Expecto Patronum!

Oh goody, opinions stated as facts in a news story.  Lego HP was not one of the weaker ones, it was awesome.  

Played so much LEGO games while PSN was down

wait lego harry potter for the neo geo portable? hell ya ill buy that

I wasn't a huge fan of year 1-4, but this might be interesting enough to check out.
