And as I just said,their replay value is pretty high for a kid’s game. A virtue of these game is their length:both of them can be completed in a few hours. I think the best word to describe this is.replayable. The interface is clunky at times,but not a pain to handle. The sound is so-so,the incidental music a little better. The graphics are serviceable,and definitely have an early 2000s look about them. I understand there was an intention to complete the story,probably cut because of budget and because this is a kid’s game. The second game has a partial plotline,which stops with the taking of the Polyjuice Potion. There are a few quests in the first game,but the unified story is only told through cutscenes,which you need to read the book or watch the movie to understand. There isn’t any,apart from gaining points. Kudos for the invisibility cloak,however. Your wand,a spellbook found in the ‘Gryffindor Common Room’ world,another spellbook you can get from Quirrell,the invisibility cloak (game 2 only),and that’s it. The climactic spiders in the first game require only Lumos to get rid of. There are six usable spells between the games:Lumos,Accio,a fireworks spell,Aguamenti,Expelliarmus,and a spell to absorb Polyjuice Potion into the body. The plot of the second game doesn’t even make it as far as the basilisk. The climactic boss of the first game isn’t even Quirrellmort,despite a promising cutscene:it’s a spider. Houses kind of determine interactivity:for example,Gryffindors will almost always avoid Slytherins. There aren’t any dialogue options,because LEGO. I guess this counts as an improvement? Score:2.ģ. In the sequel you can control almost anything. You play as Harry Potter,Ron Weasley,or Hermione Granger in game 1. There are (almost) endless possibilities. Or build a giant cage and put a lot of minifigures in it and blow it up. When blowing up Hagrid's hut gets boring, build another cage and put a minifigure inside and see if he can get out before the cage blows up. I have no idea why they decided to give you dynamite bricks, but I'm glad they did.
But debatably the most fun I've had was blowing things up. I also enjoy putting a minifigure in midair and watching it fall to its doom, or stacking several minifigures on top of each other and seeing how long they can walk around without falling off each other. It’s fun to build a cage and put a minifigure in it and watch it try to get out, or to put a lot of frogs/snakes/mice etc. It’s a very loose adaptation of its Harry Potter source material,but this is one of the rare cases where loose adaptation works in the game’s favor,because of the creative freedom offered you. I played it when I was about 8 (2005) and it was fun. This game was pretty obscure for its time and ours.
