Lego Harry Potter characters list. How to unlock and buy secret characters

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 characters list screenshot
Over 80 Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 video game characters from the large cast will be playable in Traveller’s Tales wizarding action adventure based off the first four best-selling Harry Potter books and films and the Lego Harry Potter toy set.

Unlocking new playable characters in Story Mode is quite difficult on the first playthrough, so we recommend replaying levels in Freeplay Mode after finishing the game. You still have to buy most of them, but you need to collect the icon/crest on a level first, before they are available for purchase. Easily found minor characters include Oliver Wood & Hannah Abbott, who don’t need to be bought. The rest of the secret characters like Snape we’ll give unlocking tips for in the list behind their name.
