The Story Of Doodle Jump: Brotherly Love And Digital Snacks As Kotaku’s resident LEGO fan and game reviewer I approached LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 – 4 with more than a bit of trepidation. It’s the first time I have ever been asked to play a LEGO game and didn’t really want to.
A demo for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Demo hits Xbox Live on June 7. The demo comes to the PC and PS3 later this month. The actual game comes out on June 26 in Europe and June 29 in North America.
Many video games have had a “big head mode”. But who calls it “big head mode”? Not Harry Potter. In his next game, he inflates craniums with a spell called “Engorgio Skullus!”
On its surface, LEGO Harry Potter may look an awful lot like LEGO Batman, LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars, but dig down a little past those colourful those bricks and you’ll discover some major shifts in the way the game looks and behaves.

How do you combine a magical, best-selling series of children’s novels with the magical, best-selling series of children’s imagination toys? I suppose game development magic would do the trick.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, to go along with this morning’s official game announcement.
Having already been revealed earlier this year, Warner Bros. & LEGO have today officially announced LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
