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 join in.

Game Ratings for LEGO Harry Potter Collection Video Game.
High-Def Digest: 3.5 / 5 by Julian De Backer
The 'LEGO Harry Potter Collection' is a fancy-free, funny and robust brickified version of the eight Harry Potter movies. The current asking price of $50 may be a little steep, considering these are 5 year old games without additional content. One to watch once it hits a more comfortable price point. Worth a look, but only if you don't already own the games.
EGM: 7 / 10 by Marc Camron
A return to Hogwarts to relive Harry Potter’s school years, this remaster features an enjoyable adventure for fans who haven’t taken this trip before. Though the games are still fun to play, the experience doesn’t offer anything new (other than updated graphics) from the original releases. While the Harry Potter movie world keeps expanding, game fans get a rehash, which is something of a downer. If you haven’t played the Lego Harry Potter games before, this is a great package in terms of value and sheer amount of gameplay. Otherwise, it would be better to play one of the newer releases in the franchise.
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.
