The Lego Harry Potter Collection is thethird-best Lego game, according to our list. “The LEGO Harry Potter games were the first in the series to introduce split-screen gameplay, and brought in a new seamless style of gameplay structure with the addition of an explorable Hogwarts Castle,” said the article. “LEGO Harry Potter also featured a spell-casting system, allowing players to use a variety of different unlockable abilities with the same character via a weapon-wheel function.”
This is the second time the Lego Harry Potter games have been ported to modern systems as these originally came out over the PS2 and PS3 generation of gaming. The comments on YouTube, reacting to this trailer have been mixed. “This is the second time they remastered these Lego HP games for next gen consoles,” said a commenter @jeffreyquinde6707. “It’s time for a remake; one with a big open world, voice acting, new spells and where you don’t have to relearn the same spells and re-explore the same open world on a separate game by Year 5.”
