Journey back to Hogwarts with the Lego Harry Potter video game collection

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Rush the 9 3'4 platform, keep your wands close, and let the sorting hat work its magic, because Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group have announced the LEGO Harry Potter Collection, bringing LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One for the first time in one magical video game compilation.

This package is a dream come true for fans of both LEGO and the Harry Potter franchise, as it invites them into the unpredictable Wizarding World for the chance to cast spells, mix potions, and solve puzzles, all while discovering the secrets of Hogwarts and beyond. Both versions of the collection will feature content from the eight films with enhanced graphics, environments, lighting and visual effects, along with two downloadable content (DLC) packs.

“The LEGO Harry Potter: Collection for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One grants access for a new generation of players to experience Harry Potter’s magical journey through the imaginative lens of LEGO,” said Jonathan Smith, Head of Production and Strategic Director, TT Games. “Fans of all ages can embark on a light-hearted and interactive journey inspired by beloved characters and iconic locations from the Harry Potter films.”

As mentioned above, the new collection also offers two previously released DLC packs, including a Character Pack featuring Godric Gryffindor, Harry (Yule Ball), Helga Hufflepuff, Lockhart (Straightjacket), Luna (Lion Head), Peeves, Hermione (Pink Dress), Ron Weasley (Ghoul), Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, as well as a Spell Pack featuring Cantis, Densaugeo, Ducklifors, Melofors and Tentaclifors.

OoOooOooo, all of the LEGO Harry Potter games in one place, and on the Nintendo Switch no less? That sounds like something I could really sink my teeth into … after I'm done playing Dead Cells, that is. Thankfully, I've still got some time, seeing as the LEGO Harry Potter Collection won't be released until October 30th. Hey, that's right before the release of FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD on November 16th. It looks as if someone in WB's marketing department is conjuring a bit of their own magic.
