It’s been rumored for while now. And it only makes sense that Harry Potter would come to the Lego universe, considering that Star Wars, Batman and Indian Jones have all enjoyed great success turning kids on to the fun of playing a Lego version of a character online. And why shouldn’t Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest of the bewitching Hogwart’s gang jump on the bandwagon? I mean, let’s face it. Lego games are fun for kids and adults. And they represent a refreshing departure from the carnage of a first person shooter or the obsessive head banging from Guitar Hero like games.
For the few of you that aren’t up to speed on the Lego video games, it usually revolves loosely around the storyline of the particular movie property, and includes collecting Lego studs in order to buy more abilities and characters. Game players wind their way through a storyline that is loosely based on the hit movie. They challenge the same evil characters, but in a very tongue and cheek fashion.
And Harry Potter is tailor made for the LegoVerse. Using Magic to grab studs, disarm bad guys’ wands, even flying around and playing Quidditch. The characters are great for kids to play with, and let’s face it, kids are the engine that runs not only Harry Potter, but the LegoVerse as well.
Just look at this video of Harry Potter Lego’s in action:
I, for one, am hoping this isn’t just another rumor and we’ll see Harry Potter Lego Games by next Christmas!
