Release Date: October 18, 2016
A set of two enhanced parts of the LEGO Harry Potter series for the eighth generation consoles, originally released in 2010-2011 by Traveller's Tales and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment. The set includes the games LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, based on the seven books in the series by the British writer J.K. Rowling.
LEGO Harry Potter Collection is a set of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 games. Both titles have been graphically refreshed, receiving, among other things, a better lighting system and new special effects. In addition, there are two add-ons in the package. One is a set of five spells (Cantis, Densaugeo, Ducklifors, Melofors, and Tentaclifors) called Spell Pack, and the other is the Character Pack, which contains ten characters unavailable in the base version of the game. They are Gryffindor, Harry (in a costume for Christmas ball), Helga Hufflepuff, Lockhart (in a security jacket), Luna (in a fan costume), Peeves, Hermione (in a ball dress), Ron Weasley (Ghoul), Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. The other elements, i.e. the mechanics of the game and the plot, did not undergo any changes. The collection was developed by Traveller's Tales studio, known from other games from the LEGO series.
In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 we play the role of a young sorcerer Harry Potter, with whom we experience the greatest adventures known from the first four books by J.K. Rowling and films produced by Warner Bros. In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 we get to know other events, shown in the last three parts of a saga written by the British writer.
LEGO Harry Potter Collection is a three-dimensional platform game whose formula is almost identical to all other LEGO titles developed by Traveller's Tales. The players take on the role of a number of characters unlocked as the game progresses. Each of them has skills useful during the exploration of the various locations. This means that it is advised to return to the already completed levels after gaining access to new heroes, because we can get to previously inaccessible places. In addition, on practically every level we compete with our opponents and collect coins. Of course, due to the fact that we are dealing with a game with Harry Potter, it does not lack various activities related to the magical faculties. While having fun, we take part in lessons where we learn spells, prepare potions and fly on a broom.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a bit more colorful and fun than LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 because in the latter part of the authors took care of a darker atmosphere, which is also distinguished by the last books and films based on this brand. In both cases, however, there was no shortage of opportunities to play in the cooperation mode, in which we can finish the whole story together with a friend. The key to this is proper cooperation, and good accessibility of the game makes it possible for even beginner players to in.

Attack of the Fanboy: by Kyle Hanson
Tons of content is available to play through, all fitting into the niche that TT Games has established for their LEGO franchise titles. Players will get a fun, lighthearted retelling of their favorite movies, all with a LEGO makeover layered on top.
ThisGenGaming: 7 / 10 by Justin Oneil
If you haven’t played any of the Lego Harry Potter games before then I’d recommend picking this up at some point. If you have played them then I personally don’t think you need to return to Lego Hogwarts. I don’t feel that it’s worth the current asking price but maybe you will and you do get a good amount of content in the package. I just feel like more could have been done to improve this collection when other HD remasters have set the bar higher.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
While LEGO Harry Potter Collection is one of the oldest instalments in the overall series still in current-gen circulation, it's aged remarkably well. Despite lacking some of the subtle changes the franchise has benefited from in the years since, the use of Hogwarts as a vast and secret-filled hub, a huge collection of characters to collect from across all eight films and a clever use of the Harry Potter licence makes for a remaster that only enhances Nintendo Switch's growing LEGO library. If you've played nothing but the recent LEGO games then it may, at times, feel a little old and basic, but this fantastic beast hasn't entirely lost its magic yet.
