Lego Harry Potter Years 5 - 7
SCORE: 55
When I reviewed Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 I was conflicted. I did not have a good opinion of the franchise. So I did what any intelligent person does - I went to the Holy Bible and educated myself. I learned what God says. Now I have an intelligent opinion on the topic. What is that opinion? See if you can figure it out from this review.
Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 appears on multiple systems. I purchased the Xbox 360 version of this home console game for this review. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is much darker than the first game. All of the monsters, magic, spells, and locations feel more evil. The visual tones reflect the darker and dimmer tone. Player must perform magic spells to progress thru Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7.
Parts of Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 give me a headache. Humor is attempted in this game, but it fell flat. Things like a character using magic to float a book over someone’s head and knocking them out by dropping it did not get a chuckle. The music is as moody and dark as the visuals.
We have a ghost guide in parts of Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7. Witches and warlocks are all over this game. Puzzles can be difficult and leave the player stuck. Which is bad since levels in Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 can easily take thirty minutes. That is a long time to be sitting down playing one game.

Harry Potter Years 5-7 is not family friendly. I know that is a bold
stance that Harry Potter worshipers will not like to hear. But
ultimately it is not. I am surprised the ESRB did not give Lego Harry
Potter Years 5-7 a ‘T’ for Teen rating. It certainly earns one. I hope
that Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is the last game in the series. I like
other Lego games just not this one.
