LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (PC)

With the insane popularity of LEGO and the Harry Potter series, it makes sense to put the two together and create a brick-based adventure. At last, you can relive the first four years of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with all the blocky charm of the Danish toy – from the events in the Sorcerer's Stone, the Chamber of Secrets, the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Goblet of Fire.

Like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones before it, LEGO Harry Potter is packed with platforming action and curious brick-building activities. LEGO studs are your currency, littered around the levels, and these can be used for customisation and unlockable features. Throughout the adventure, you will get the chance to attend lessons in Hogwarts and interact with professors to learn new spells and potions.

Various kinds of puzzles appear in each stage, and with your chosen character – from a roster of over 100 including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger – you need to use your spells and broomstick-flying skills to great effect. As you would expect, there are plenty of locations from the Harry Potter universe to explore, be it the village of Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest or even Hogwarts Castle.
