Lego have never made any LoTR products, so no.  
As I said before, chances are they'll jump on the Clone Wars, it's still Star Wars, but it's different enough to be worthwhile.
 
I could see them getting the liscence for the Hobbit and then doing a Hobbit game, perhaps expanding to LoTR.. But that won't be until at least 2011/12.

Yeah, I'll probably buy it.  Co-op games that appeal to my wife are few and far between.  She likes the Lego games, and we like Harry Potter.

I mean, the Lego games were kinda endearing at first.  Now they're just running rampant.

I want to see the Lego series go dark and gritty. They could of with Batman but they blew it so we need Lego Tarantino. Think about how many iconic scenes his movies have that must be pantomimed by Lego guys to get the full effect. The Like a Virgin restaurant discussion from Reservoir Dogs,  The bring out the gimp scene from Pulp Fiction, the tricking Chris Tucker in to the truck of my car so I can shoot him scene from Jackie Brown, and the toe wiggling scene from Kill Bill volume One. Free idea Travelers Tales for Lego Tarantino Volume 1. I'd save the movies he wrote (Natural Born Killers and Modern Romance) for a future third installment. 
Right now I am in talks with Mega Blox and Atari for a Toxic Avenger game. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Well if it's being done by Traveler's Tales... It could potentially be decent. And god knows the Harry Potter franchise needs a video game that doesn't suck balls.

Harry Potter makes a lot of sense as a Lego game. I'll keep an eye on it, it might be fun. I loved Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars.

I imagine they would combine them if that's something technically feasible. Why not? It's a great deal for people who haven't picked up the other games. Personally I'm day one on this. Lego games are great couple games, both of us like Harry Potter (her more than me), and magic seems like the perfect way to do things Lego style. The video makes that clear to me.

They tend to release two Lego games per year..  We know this is coming early next year, but I don't think we'll see Prince of Persia, at least not yet.  I'd be surprised if they don't jump all over something like Toy Story, but it's already heavily rumoured the other game next year will be the Clone Wars.
 
Which makes sense, as it's different from the regular Star Wars line, and is Lego's best selling product by a wide margin.

 At least they do 4 books at once. That way they can be done with this series in two installments. This could be fairly interesting and long if they'd include stuff from the books that wasn't in the movies.

Well, for me LEGO games have always been fun, but they're definitely starting to feel a bit dated. That said, they're games my lady can play and she absolutely loves them and she's huge into Harry Potter, so this'll probably be a day one purchase for me.

This seems like a PERFECT fit for them. Lego Rock Band and Lego Batman seemed a little forced to me, but this seems like a good use of the property.

I'm both a big fan of Harry Potter and somebody who doesn't like their favourite franchises being tampered with. In fact I hate what the Harry Potter movies have done with the source material, but there is something about the innocent charm of Lego colliding with the universe of Harry Potter which I find delightful. I think it's because Lego doesn't take anything it does within the universe too seriously. This is actually looking like an interesting game.

This will probably be better than the other terrible Harry Potter video game movie tie-ins. And just imagine other game franchises being made into Lego versions:
 
Lego of Honor
Lego's Creed
Uncharted: Lego's Fortune
Uncharted 2: Among Legos
Lord of the Legos
Left 4 Legos
or why not Rogue Lego Warrior?
