out of 10, complimenting the new additions to the game, while the PSP version of the game received a 7. The unbridled sense of creativity and possibility that the bricks produce is arguably unmatched by anything else, so it’s no surprise that the LEGO Group has continually pushed for the creation of LEGO games. Players have the freedom to select from over 100 playable characters including Harry Potter™, Ron Weasley™ and Hermione Granger™, as well as many other fan favourites. In 2010, following a release of a special Potter-themed Lego set, Lego Harry Potter, Traveller's Tales announced that a Lego Harry Potter video game would be released, similar to releases for Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

A remastered version of the game was released for the PlayStation 4 on 18 October 2016 in North America and in Europe on 21 October as part of the Lego Harry Potter Collection in which the game was bundled with its sequel, Lego Harry Potter: Years 5–7. Later entries in the series received increasingly lower scores on Metacritic, as critics rated Deathly Hallows – Part 1 being the poorest reviewed. A mobile version of the game was released for iOS on 19 November 2010 and was ported to Android on 28 September 2016. On June 20, 2023, it was announced Harry Potter: Magic Awakened will launch worldwide on June 27, 2023. There’s also a range of similarly controlled mini-games, including wizard chess and gobstones, which you can play either in or out of the game.

The graphics were good, and it's a nice game to look at, but it doesn't change the feeling about the game play. The game covers a wide range of characters of the first four parts, from notable ones like Albus Dumbledore, and Severus Snape, to others like Viktor Krum in shark form or the Trolley Witch from the Hogwarts Express. In 2005, World of Harry Potter was released for PC, containing all of the first three novel games, and the Quiddich World Cup game. Explore iconic settings from the wizarding world including Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, the village of Hogsmeade and, of course, Hogwarts castle.
