20th anniversary LEGO Harry Potter[]
In April 2021, the LEGO group announced they were releasing special new LEGO sets on 1 June to celebrate the 20th anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter.[8]
Books[]
Published 16 May, 2011 LEGO Harry Potter: Building the Magical World chronicled the creation of the various LEGO Harry Potter releases, including the various sets and the first LEGO Harry Potter video game. Written by Elizabeth Dowsett, the book features two sections - 'The World of LEGO Harry Potter,' featuring the various Wizarding world locations depicted within the series, and 'Beyond the Brick,' with a behind-the-scenes look at creation, details on merchandising, and more.
Published in 2012, LEGO Harry Potter was a book chronicling the various LEGO forms of Harry Potter characters, carrying the tagline 'With every LEGO Harry Potter minifigure and creature.' Written by Jon Richards, the book was organised by sections for every title in the Harry Potter series. It included numerous variations of key characters such as Harry Potter and Severus Snape, and various magical creatures, including Merpeople and Dementors.
Video Games[]
Lego Creator[]
In late 2001, a Harry Potter themed spin-off of the Lego Creator video game was released for Windows, titled LEGO Creator: Harry Potter. It is a sandbox game where the player can explore settings of the series (Diagon Alley, King's Cross Station, Hogwarts grounds, and Hogwarts interior) and make their own creations within the world, including your own custom sets, minifigures, as well as controlling different aspects of the world. There are also challenges the player can complete to unlock new cutscenes and spells to use.
In 2002, a sequel for LEGO Creator: Harry Potter was released, titled Creator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Again it is sandbox in style, focusing on exploring and customising the worlds (which now includes the Forbidden Forest, an expanded Diagon Alley, the eponymous Chamber of Secrets and completely remade settings). The player can still create their own custom models and minifigures, but with the added feature of being able to control and move them around in the game world. Challenges can be performed by collecting enough Chocolate Frogs, upon which unlocks more models, characters, and worlds.
Traveller's Tales[]
On 25 June, 2010 LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 was released, based on the first four instalments of the Harry Potter series in LEGO form. Developed by Traveller's Tales, it follows a similar format to their previous LEGO games, featuring puzzles, switching between characters to use their different abilities, collecting a wide variety of objects such as studs, and a comically mimed take on the series. The game was published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and features a total of 167 playable characters, a wide variety of spells and potions, as well as visiting familiar places like Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 was the sequel to LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and was first released 11 November 2011. Again developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the game was based on the last three Harry Potter books and final four Harry Potter films, taking players through Harry Potter’s heroic adventures in the Muggle and wizarding worlds. From Privet Drive in Little Whinging to new locations including Grimmauld Place, the Ministry of Magic, and Godric's Hollow players encountered new characters, creatures, spells, and potions, preparing them for the ultimate face-off against Lord Voldemort himself — all in LEGO style.
In 2018, remasters of both LEGO games were released in HD.
Announced on 9 June 2016, new Harry Potter sets will be released for LEGO Dimensions, the toys-to-life console video game. These will include sets featuring Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Hermione Granger, and Newton Scamander from the film inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as well as a Quidditch pitch battle arena.[9]
A remaster of both LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 was released on 8 October, 2024.[10]
