LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7

The game uses a stage-based progression structure with a top-down and angled perspective. Players move through chapters, switching between characters to use magic, strength, or pet abilities to solve environmental puzzles and defeat enemies. Story Mode focuses on following the plot and clearing each chapter, while Free Play becomes available afterward to revisit stages with unlocked characters and collect missed secrets. Core controls revolve around movement, attacks, spellcasting, and context-sensitive interactions.

Harry Potter

Main protagonist who uses magic to interact with objects and fight enemies.

Hermione Granger

A versatile spellcaster often required for specific puzzle solutions.

Ron Weasley

Supports puzzle solving and interacts with pet-related or special mechanisms.

Albus Dumbledore

A powerful wizard with access to advanced magical abilities in key scenes.

Lord Voldemort

The central antagonist who appears in major story moments.

Play through Story Mode first to learn which abilities are needed in each chapter, then return in Free Play to collect everything with the right characters. If you get stuck, check whether the puzzle requires a spellcaster, a strong character, or a pet-based ability. In combat, keep moving and use ranged magic when possible; in exploration, re-check suspicious walls, floors, and breakable LEGO objects for hidden rewards.

Tips and tricks

• Look for glowing objects and interactive LEGO pieces, as many secrets are hidden behind ordinary scenery.
• Use Free Play with a varied character set to clean up collectibles you could not access the first time.
• Break and rebuild LEGO objects when puzzles seem stalled, since many solutions begin with deconstructing the environment.
