With the release of LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 on the horizon, here are some early story details, which we can expect to see in the newest installment!
The new game is based on the three books (and four films) that resolve the Potter franchise, leading to the dramatic final battle with Voldemort. While not a direct movie tie-in, the game goes hand-in-hand with the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The game will also feature new characters and locations, including Grimmauld Place, the Ministry of Magic, Godric’s Hollow and Malfoy Manor.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Professor Lupin and Sirius Black have all been updated to match their appearances from more recent sets.
Years 5-7 follows the Harry Potter story as it all starts to get more sinister, and people find themselves strolling headfirst into death and destruction more often than they’d like.
“In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, we’re giving gamers a truly epic conclusion to the most successful movie franchise in history with delightful gameplay for fans of all ages,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “We’ve built upon the first game and are giving fans even more magical abilities, puzzle solving and exploration, in addition to our distinctive brand of hilarious LEGO humour and charm.”
