New Lego Harry Potter Trailer: Predictably Cute, But...

WB Interactive Entertainment released a few new screenshots and this trailer for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 today. It looks adorable, but after Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Lego Batman, and Lego Rock Band, raise your wand if you're actually excited about it.

WBIE was on the right track with Lego Rock Band: if they insist on squeezing money out of the Lego franchise, they should look beyond the same puzzle platformer genre that's been the foundation for these games since the first Lego Star Wars came out five years ago. How about a Lego-style one-on-one brawler? Or a Lego tower defense RTS? What's your pitch for the next Lego game?

  1. I agree, looks cute, but not sure if it can top star wars.

  2. Of all the games my daughter and I have played together, we have laughed more and had more fun with Indiana Jones and Star Wars. I will buy this one as well because I can see us just rolling around laughing at some of the stuff in there, and things we will make up to make it more funny yet!

  3. I totally agree w/the comments above. My son and I have laughed pretty hard at the clips between the gameplay featured in all the genre's
