I'm having the same problem I read about in other reviews.The game keeps freezing.I contacted their tech dept. who e-mailed me a file that was supposed to fix the problem but it didn't.They say that a patch will be out soon to fix it.Wait till then.Otherwise you will be as disappointed as my...

After my comments below I contacted the customer support line with my problem. They asked me to send them a diagnostic report, after which I got a reply saying that my chipset was not supported and I needed to upgrade it. Saying, in effect, this is not a software problem but a hardware one.

To play his game is so much fun but having to upgeade my video card and work so hard to get around all the glitches might not be worth it. A game that sells for 19.99 caused me to go buy a 150.00 video card.

Summary: Looks fun, sounds fun, but too buggy to play. Pros: -Cute writing -Fun and easy Cons: -Crashed consistently I bought Lego Harry Potter a few years ago on Steam. It had good reviews and sounded casual and fun (it's for kids).

I often wonder what my generation will leave behind for the next. What our legacy will be. Oh, I'm not waxing philosophical on world leaders or global issues, I'm thinking about pop culture.

Very amusing game to spend some time with, but there are too many bugs in it. One in particular is the Dark Tower level in year 3 as you hit two statues that have to melt an ice wall, the game just stops and you have to shut it down and start over again and again.

Easy to learn; Entertaining; Fun To Play

Bugs

Lego Harry Poter follows the great formula of the previous games though the numerous glitches ruin it (with a good system you can manage to avoid all the glitches but the most common).

Really fun to play and can eat away hours of your time collecting everything.

Easy To Learn; Gameplay

Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 is a witty, endearing, wholesome and irreverent adaption of the films, but you don't have to be an avid fan of the series to enjoy Traveller's Tales romp through Hogwarts. Great family entertainment.

A very smooth difficulty curve; The interaction between characters and the variety of spells adds great depth to the puzzle-solving; Hogwarts is a joy to explore.

Some frustrations with targeting; The audio can get repetitive.

Lego Harry Potter plays like a secret lost chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A chapter where Harry goes mad with power, puts on a fake moustache and runs, giggling, through Diagon Alley, turning people into ice cubes with a wand that looks like a carrot.
