LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 in a nutshell
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is an adventure action game. You play as a young wizard called Harry Potter, a fictional character created by J.K. Rowling. You will accompany him on his various adventures that happened during his first four years in Hogwarts.
To some extent, the game offers an open structure. Besides the main storyline, you can explore Hogwarts freely and look for additional missions. This gives you a chance to meet with characters known from the books and movies. You can also participate in lessons, learn spells or fly on a broom.
Starting tips
- How to complete the game in 100%? - you have to complete every single mission (24 in total) with True Wizard status, complete house crests, rescue all students (50 in total), collect all Red (20 in total) and Gold (200 in total) Bricks, collect all 167 character tokens. Besides that, you also have to purchase all character tokens, Red Bricks, and additional spells.
- Destroy every object you come across - collect studs to unlock True Wizard status. You will also need them to purchase new characters or other bonuses available in the Diagon Alley.
- You won't always get True Wizard status during your first playthrough - don't worry if you won't be able to get True Wizard status in a mission - you have to replay each of the missions to get bonus items. Try to find all Red multiplier bricks before you start replaying levels - multipliers stack up (giving you a maximum multiplier of x3840) which will give you a lot of studs.
- Not every character is able to perform all actions - some characters have unique skills, e.g. they are able to read signs on a wardrobe and open it, goblins can open lockers (they are carrying keys), characters who use Dark Magic can access places that aren't available to others.
- Look for Red Bricks - if you have problems with location a specific bonus, find Red Bricks that will point you towards it.
