LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Brings Its Magic to Sony’s NGP and Nintendo 3DS this Fall
Cross-platform game will close the book on the Harry Potter franchise
With anticipation building for the last Harry Potter film, gamers will get one last LEGO game this fall in conjunction with the Blu-ray and DVD release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and the LEGO Group are conjuring one last LEGO Harry Potter game this fall. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 will mark the first time the franchise is making a foray onto Sony’s NGP. The new family-friendly game will also be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS and Windows PC.
Based on the last three Harry Potter books and final four films, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 takes players through Harry Potter’s heroic adventures in the Muggle and wizarding worlds. From Privet Drive in Little Whinging to Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and Hogwarts – plus new locations including Grimmauld Place, the Ministry of Magic, and Godric’s Hollow – players will encounter new faces, new challenges and new magic, preparing them for the ultimate face-off against Lord Voldemort.
“In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, we are giving gamers a truly epic conclusion to the most successful movie franchise in history with delightful gameplay for fans of all ages,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “We have built upon the first game and are giving fans even more magical abilities, puzzle solving and exploration, in addition to our distinctive brand of hilarious LEGO humor and charm.”
“LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 offers Harry Potter and LEGO fans an immersive experience that is fun and accessible for players of all ages,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “With this game, TT Games captures everything fans love about the Harry Potter universe – and adds a distinct LEGO twist.”
“This game is a game of magic! LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 distills the drama and action of Harry Potter‘s magical world, and then gives players the chance to immerse themselves in their favorite characters and environments, where they can discover new adventures and have great fun,” said Lisbeth Valther Pallesen, Executive Vice President, LEGO CED. “TT Games has successfully combined a deep appreciation of the Harry Potter story with signature LEGO humor and superior production capabilities in another fantastic LEGO video game.”
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 builds upon the magical gameplay, lessons and potion-making skills learned in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 to equip gamers with the tools necessary to challenge a host of new foes and some familiar ones (including He Who Must Not Be Named). The upcoming title is action-packed from start to finish, including loads of new lessons, spells, and bonus content for hours of family friendly gaming.
