LEGO Dimensions, the mash-up game that brings together many iconic fictional characters in one huge LEGO multiverse, is today releasing a brand new batch of worlds and characters in its latest collection of packs – including Harry Potter! We’ve had LEGO Harry Potter games before, but in LEGO Dimensions the Harry Potter Team Pack is taking things to a whole new level. Yep, starting today, fans can visit Harry in the LEGO multiverse, with playable minifigures of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, alongside the flying Ford Anglia and Hogwarts Express, both of which you can build and ride about in. Harry’s world joins a number of new expansion packs launched today, from Ghostbusters and Adventure Time to Mission: Impossible. When it comes to the Harry Potter Team Pack, players can unlock Harry Potter’s very cool-looking Adventure World, which includes new locations based in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. As for the gameplay itself, you can fly Harry around on his little LEGO broom, cast an assortment of familiar spells and even produce a Patronus…
If you prefer the darker side of things, LEGO Lord Voldemort is playable too, with a selection of slightly more evil options. But, of course, the joy of LEGO Dimensions is putting your favourite characters in situations you never thought you would ever see them in. As seen above, you could theoretically make Harry hang around Chinatown from the Ghostbusters Story Pack, while standing outside the TARDIS from Doctor Who. Owners of the Back to the Future Level Pack could watch Harry ride round in Doc Brown’s DeLorean, if they fancied. Alongside the many mash-up possibilities, you can also unlock a new Battle Arena inspired by the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.You’ll be able to potter about (yep!) in Diagon Alley, and even go and visit a LEGO-fied Fred and George in Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Have a gander at some more amazing moments from the game here.The wizarding world will soon have another chance to get a brick-ified makeover too. On 18 November, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will also be coming to the LEGO Dimensions multiverse with a new Story Pack and Fun Pack.Players will be given a chance to play through six action-packed levels of the Fantastic Beasts film, as well as meet up with new playable characters Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein, who come complete with a lovely Niffler and Swooping Evil.
There will even be the opportunity to cast actual spells, including Diffindo, Reparo and Lumos, and interact with new creatures from the film, like the Bowtruckle. Those who get their hands on both packs could even introduce Harry Potter to Newt Scamander, blending two different eras of the wizarding world. Just when you thought Harry Potter couldn’t get any more magical... The Harry Potter Team Pack for LEGO Dimensions is released today. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack for LEGO Dimensions is coming soon, on 18 November. Smithy in Peril is a Side Quest that may be found in Bree. Completing this Side Quest opens up the Blacksmith Shop and is the first step towards being able to use Schematics to forge new mithril items. Travel to Bree and find the Smithy's wife standing in front of the Blacksmith Shop. She'll ask the character to find her husband in a cave near Weathertop. Follow the stud trail to a cave entrance in a small outcropping that stands alone (not part of a mountain or cliff).
Enter the cave and drop down to where the Smithy needs help clearing a path to make his exit. Choose some dwarves and buddy up to smash through the gate. Choose Ori or another character with a slingshot and shoot the target to clear the next barrier. Find the dig spot and have Sam or someone else with a spade dig up a bouncy mushroom. Bounce on the mushroom to reach the top of the block. Push the lever to clear the final bit of rubble. Exit the cave and then walk back to the Blacksmith's shop with the Smithy to receive a Mithril brick and see the shop open for business.Mithril Treasure Items | A Room Without a View Bridge Over Water TroubleIt’s been about a week since LEGO released the new Exo Suit, and there’s been quite a lot of rumor and conjecture circulating about how many will be available, and whether backorders placed after last Thursday night will be fulfilled. I had a conference call with LEGO staff in Enfield and Billund yesterday, and they all reassured me that the “limited run” rumors (especially the rumored number of “10,000”) are completely false.
If LEGO’s own word isn’t enough, here’s Oliver Twist the Pug to inspire confidence. We’ll be closing down the LEGO Exo Suit raffle next Friday morning so that we can ship out the set in a timely manner, so head on over to that post and leave a comment if you want to win one. But the important update here is that our raffle isn’t the only way for you to get an Exo Suit — go ahead and order your Exo Suits (and click through from The Brothers Brick if you’d like to support what we do), and LEGO will fulfill those orders once their supply chain catches up with this initial burst of demand. The LEGO Shop online currently lists the set as either “Temporarily Out of Stock” or “Sold Out”, but this is more of a website status issue than a predictor of future availability. Once they become available on each site, LEGO reassures me that you can go ahead and order them with confidence: And since I’ve included a photo of my pug Ollie with my own Exo Suit that arrived last Thursday, let’s totally make pugs + Exo Suits a meme.
Here’s a completely different pug who is also named Oliver (!!!) with an Exo Suit from Ilia. Post those pug + Exo Suit photos and share them here in the comments, on Facebook, and on Twitter! Bonus points if your pug is also named Oliver.Tell all your friends!
