This is getting predictable. Travellers Tales comes along, take a successful movie franchise, turns it into a Lego-themed video game, I giggle my way through it like a six-year old, get obsessive about completing both the game and the vast array of side challenges and bonus content, finally get some sleep, persuade my wife not to divorce me, and then slap it with a five-star review. The thing is though, the developers at Travellers Tales really know what they're doing. The Lego-based nostalgia – oh the lovely, plasticky rumble when a character gets reduced to bricks! – still packs considerable charm and the games are an interactive joy. They're also tough as puzzlers go: expect a good few head-scratching moments (or searches for online walkthroughs) when, ahem, trying to get into the girls' toilet at Hogwarts (no, it's not like that, you've got a troll to defeat) and other similar challenges. As the name suggests, the game covers Harry's first four years at Hogwarts, so you're guiding your scarred juvenile wizard (and an assortment of supporting players, from Ron to Hermione, and even Scabbers the rat) through the first four books.
Rowling's work in these – Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire – actually lends itself quite well to the video game format. Harry et al have a mystery on their hands which needs solving. Hogwarts has a vast number of rooms that need exploring. And then up pops He Who Must Not Be Named in a variety of forms for the final showdown. This translates brilliantly to Lego's lovely format and gives a proper Boss-based finale to each year. In the Star Wars and Indiana Jones games, different characters possessed different abilities and weaponry in order to complete the main game and its myriad puzzles and challenges. Once those characters and their skills are unlocked, you can then return to earlier levels, get into the areas you couldn't access before and complete all the extra challenges and bonus content. Lego Harry Potter video game The format is much the same here but, instead of just being able to play as the characters with the skills you need to complete the level – Hagrid's strength, for example, or Madam Pomfrey's more powerful witchcraft – over the course of the four years, Harry, Ron and Hermione will learn new spells, enabling deeper exploration of earlier levels.
It's a neat touch, and rather like being back at school: you're that bit older, so you're now allowed in this room. The learning curve, it almost goes without saying, is perfectly judged, the throwaway gags often sublime, and the adherence to the tales and spirit of Rowling's work is possibly even more faithful than the films. It might say 7+ on the box, but please tell me I'm not the only 40-something who thinks this is an utter joy?
