Lego Harry Potter 's gameplay is similar to that of most previous Lego video games, with an emphasis on collecting, exploring, and solving puzzles. I will warn you that we haven't tested it thoroughly and I will not be offended should you decide to change something up (if you do, please tell me so we can try it out ourselves!

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4 is a Lego-themed action-adventure video game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros.

I think it does a great job of evoking the Harry Potter universe, in particular the exact scene it's trying to emulate. The DS version uses touchscreen controls to perform spells, and is a downscaled port of the PSP version. It does paint a nice picture of the shifting staircase scene in the movie, with the students clambering all over trying to navigate them.

After you have taken the action of the symbol you rolled you will have the opportunity to move your character. Normally you would think this would turn into a roll and move game as you roll the dice to move between the rooms/staircases.

In fact I think the game could be used as a good bridge between simple roll and move games and more complicated games.

Who will triumph in your brick-built recreation of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 finale? Since her tile replaces a different one to Dumbledores, you can probably combine both variants, which probably results in sheer and utter madness. Perhaps the other 2 pieces are also prefects for the other houses, meaning that Red is Percy Weasley, and Green is the Slytherin prefect from the same time period.
