My then 6 year old fell in love with all things Harry Potter over the holidays. Fortunately for her, mommy and daddy had not seen the last 3 movies so we had a movie marathon one weekend and watched the whole lot of them. After that was all said and done she was running around the house expecto patronuming us all day. We decided to grab a couple Harry Potter games to get her to stop killing us all day. It's really hard to come back to life after the worlds best 6 year old wizard kills you for the 23rd time. We had to do something. In comes the Lego games. Overall any of the Lego games are great for her age. She had played the xbox 360 version of the Lego Movie video game with her daddy and loved every minute of it. Needless to say the Lego Harry Potters were a no brainer after that. You don't really die. As a video Gamer from the Atari generation I generally dislike endless tries but hey, for a 6 year old I guess it's ok.
As for the game itself it follows the movies very closely so if you haven't watched them (I think we were the last people on the planet who hadn't!) you will have spoilers. It is easy to play and easy to follow. Only a couple times did she get stuck on the DS version. There were a few difficult parts on the xbox version but I'm reviewing that separately. Not sure what else to say. Great movies, great combination with the Lego model of games. I love portable stuff. How on earth did our parents tolerate us in a car back in the day? ;) 5 stars all the way!!
