For the lazy:

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Not surprisingly, it looks ten times better than all the other HP games combined. They really need to make an MMO out of the series. Not sure why they wont make one?

Somebody sort-of did:

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

So this comes out sometime mid-2010, followed by Years 5-7, sometime mid-2011, I'm guessing.

Love the Lego games, but I'll wait for Lego Harry Potter: The Complete Hogwart's Experience or Whatever coming to the new consoles in 2012 or 13.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Looking forward to the game. I have enjoyed the lego games thus far.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

According to VG247.com, this has a May release.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I'm hoping they bring in some of the improvements they added to the second Indiana Jones games. Most notably split-screen and the level creator.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Am I correct and they have stopped making the Lego game for the PS2? It looks like Indiana Jones 2 and the Harry Potter games did/will not come out for it. Might just be reason enough to talk the wife into a 360.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

The just-announced-today LSW3 won't support the PS2 either.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

About what I expected. It's not a masterpiece, but it isn't cringe worthy either. I bought Lego Batman on release day but with StarWars, I waited until the Complete Saga was about $20 and Indiana Jones was like $10. Loved them all, this will certainly go in my collection at some point; just not sure when.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Official site is now saying June 2010 and Amazon has it listed for June 29 across all systems. I wonder what's going on with this one.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

At least it's not artificially November to coincide with the next movie and holidays.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I really can't believe this thread was so inactive. No need to start a second with the news that Years 5-7 (probably 5, 6, 7a, and 7b) will be coming out "Holiday 2011". Probably along with the final movie on home video release.

:dance:

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Good, maybe my son and I will have time to finish the Lego games we just started before this one hits, or at least get Year 1-4 cheap and pick this one up cheap next year once that is finished.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Very cool. I need to finish this, then go pick up Lego Pirates,,then the second potter

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

November 18th.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I enjoyed the first one and will get this one when is cheap.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Will wait for the eventual complete years 1-7 collection.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I did it before and I will do it again. :dance:

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

when my son slacks off on his achievement building...I don't let him eat until he has at least added 2% to his current score....that will learn him

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Wife and I just finished the story missions this past week. Solid stuff, now we are just getting as many extras as we can. I wouldn't expect us to get 100% but based on previous (Lego Batman, Star Wars), I think we will get pretty close. 5-7 will be an easy purchase once it goes under $30. I would expect a complete collection as well eventually but I certainly feel like we got our money's worth by buying them before that happens.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I just picked up Years 1-4 on the Blockbuster B1G1 free sale, ended up being $7.50 and we are about 37% done. Now if I can get my son to stop buying every person we unlock the second we unlock them. Just need to find a deal on LSW:CW and this one in the winter.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Last night, we finally unlocked one of the dark magic folks, Mr. Lucious Malfoy. My wife was so happy, I think she stayed up half the night going back to old stages and discovering new characters/red blocks/gold bricks etc. Unfortunately I had to go to bed to get up for work today :) (this also allowed her to try out the new headphones I had bought her for the tv when I am sleeping). But I do remember helping her to get Snape before I went to bed. She doesn't worry about achievements unless they just happen on accident so I can go back and do that barrel one.

When I went to bed, we had crossed the 60% mark. Again, 100% is a stretch but we certainly would like to get there. Worth the $30 I paid for it big time.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I saw the first game on clearance for $8 at Target a few weeks ago. Would have been a great buy but I'm waiting for the complete Years 1-7 game and don't want to have to replay the same levels a bunch of times. I'm already kind of burned-out on the Lego games as it is.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Lego games are notorious for glitching with regards to the 100% goals. Don't be surprised if you wind up at 98.6% and you're sure you have everything.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Lovely, but I know my wife's attention span (which is shorter than mine), she's excited playing it right now, but give it a week. :) However, I am stubborn and if she gets close enough and then gets bored of it I have a habit of going in there and cleaning up.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I had to play it twice just to get 100%. Wasn't the first Lego game to do that to me and I was, by no means, alone in that.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

I was able to manage the 100% and a platinum the first time through but was paranoid as hell the last 10 hours or so. I just knew that I would have to play it again to get the 100%. Fortunately that was not the case and I'm on to an even glitchier Lego Indiana Jones 2.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Remember when I mentioned my wife and I started last night at 50ish percent and got up to like 60? She just told me she is up to almost 80%. Go hunny go! I knew I married you for something :D. I really hope she doesn't run into the 100% bug.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Is there any way you can transfer your purchased people to another user profile? I want to transfer the available people I have on my account over to my son's profile so he could use them on his sign on.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Yes and no. Technically, there is no way to transfer characters over to another user profile. Same with any saved game on 360 to my knowledge. However, if you are willing to take some time, I think Gamefaqs has all of the codes that you can enter in one of the places in Diagon Alley. That will allow you any characters you want along with any of the red block extras. That way the son can play all the levels as new too. This would probably be the best way to go.

In other news, me and the wife are up to almost 90%. We have 1 red block left, 2 children in peril and a bunch of unfinished crests. However, if I do the math correctly, it looks like we are going to be about 10 gold legos short once that is all said and done. We have bought all of the extra gold ones from the shop, played through I want to say 8 of the 10 bonus levels and it seems like everything else logically there is. But once we finish out the crests, I'll try to figure that out.

Interestingly enough, I broke out Lego Star Wars (over 2 years later) this other weekend and realize why I put it down. Redoing the levels with the timer and the blue things to collect. However, I figured out how to do 3 of my remaining 5 achievements. I don't think I'll ever get the lightsaber combo achievo and I am certainly not going through the heartache of 100% so it is probably done with now.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Have you done all the things in the school? I know there are some torches to blast that had the 1/7 thing pop up. We are about 60% so far and getting close to the point I am going to have to internet cheat for the missing crest.


When this is done I need to go back and "finish" Star Wars. But like you that one will not be 100%. There is one of the bonus levels with the EpII Attack Ship that I can not beat, the original version. It sucks and starts you at the beginning when you blow up. That level will remain untouched when I go back. I am hoping the Clone Wars game is more inline with PotC and HP vs the original SW game as that will be our next pick up.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

There is SOOOO much to do at the school, especially after you finish the original levels. There are hidden rooms galore at that school which contain gold bricks, characters, red blocks, children in peril, etc. I would like to say I've done it all but everytime I think I am done, I find something else. Torches are the least of your worries :).

Don't feel bad about internet cheat for the crests. Since there is no official guide by Prima or Brady, it is about the only way to get some information. We might have to do that ourselves for some of the crests and some of the little things at the end here.
I'm not sure if I finished that one either but I did do a lot of bonus levels. My main problem was just the blue things. I get annoyed with timed things because I am such the explorer (hence why I love the lego games so much). I have not played PotC, I am good with waiting that go to $20 before I pick it up. Clone Wars will probably be picked up but I am with you...I would rather see it more like Potter and a little less like Star Wars. Did I get my money's worth with Lego Star Wars, oh certainly. But do I want that experience again in a new shell? Not so much.

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

How do you figure that using the internet is cheating, but using a guide is not? I don't really see a difference there. (not that there's anything wrong with either of them, I like to find things on my own, but I'm not too proud to go to the internet when I get too frustrated). To me the only difference is that the internet is free. I haven't bought a guide in many years.

Also, I didn't have too much trouble with the blue minikits myself. Most of them are in plain sight, so there's no need to destroy everything like there is when searching for regular minikits. And I didn't feel the need to explore too deep, because I had already been thru these levels twice already exploring every bit I could. I was more than happy to run thru them the third time. It does kinda suck when you miss one, but that's when I resorted to the internet, because I really don't have the patience to do it over and over until I find them all on my own (especially when it's at least the third time thru, like I said)

Re: New Lego Harry Potter trailer...
 

Oh I don't. I was merely using Cusm's word choice. Regardless whether it is the internet or a prima guide, it is just a form of help. Sorry if it seemed otherwise. I almost always try to do things on my own (which probably surprises people when they see I have around 100+ guides for various games). But guides or the internet just help me out when I need it most. To be honest, I've bought guides for games after I've beat them just to see if I missed something. Of course this goes along with the fact that 90% or more of the guides I buy are done for $5 or less. But anyway, that's another subject.

Chances are with Lego Star Wars, I would not have too much trouble with the blue mini-kits. However, there are two things that keep me from doing it. It's been over two years since I seriously played it last and when I was done with the game, I had played it to death. I wanted to drop kick an Ewok at that point. Not saying I didn't get my moneys worth or enjoyed the experience but I clearly overplayed. Maybe I'll go back. We'll see :)
