While Lego Harry Pooter Years 1-4 manages to capture the atmosphere of Harry Potter marvellously, it is mildly on the weak side regarding its inherent Lego game mechanics. Flying in brooms is mechanically abysmal, using spells feels awkward and lots of the map design is, maybe intentionally, yet still infuriatingly, quite convoluted.

Apart from these downsides it is a bonafide Lego game though which is a lot of fun nonetheless. I personally would have wished a little more adherence to the books though, as many scenes and plot arcs which would have made great situations ingame were either entirely left out or just very shortly used.
