LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7

The wizarding war reaches its darkest, funniest LEGO form as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a huge cast of familiar faces push from the halls of Hogwarts toward the final battle with Voldemort. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 adapts the final stretch of the saga, covering the escalating danger of Order of the Phoenix through Deathly Hallows Part 2 while keeping the series’ slapstick charm intact. Expect collapsing scenery, visual gags, destructible furniture, and a surprisingly cozy treatment of a story built around loss, resistance, and a tyrant’s return. Locations range from Privet Drive and Diagon Alley to snowy Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, and the darker corners of the wizarding world.

Progress comes through light action-platforming and environmental puzzle solving rather than demanding combat. Players cast spells to move objects, repair broken mechanisms, uncover hidden pathways, fight magical enemies, and manipulate the many LEGO pieces scattered through every level. Different characters bring distinct abilities, so later free-play runs let you revisit stages with new spells and access previously unreachable secrets. The campaign supports drop-in local co-op, making it easy for two players to solve puzzles together—or accidentally turn a carefully arranged room into a pile of bricks.

Its greatest strength is the sheer density of collectibles, character unlocks, optional rooms, and playful secrets tucked into recognizable Potter locations. The game does not chase the precision platforming or combat depth of modern action adventures, but its simple controls and generous humor make it approachable for younger players and casual co-op partners. Fans of LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Batman will recognize the familiar formula, while Harry Potter devotees get a particularly satisfying interactive tour through the series’ climactic years. Veterans can enjoy chasing 100 percent completion, and newcomers need no prior LEGO-game expertise to enjoy the ride.
