History VideoGame / LegoHarryPotter

** ''Years 1-4'' has several bonus levels located in the Gringotts vaults. These are unrelated to the story, but required to get all the gold bricks. Finding all the gold bricks unlocks a bonus stage in which you get to play Voldemort, who's objective it is to rampage through London to accumulate a certain amount of studs.
** ''Years 5-7'' has one bonus level that's unlocked after completing all the story levels. The level takes place in a small Lego town. Your objective is to wreak havoc in said town which gives you studs. Reaching 1000000 studs completes the level.

* AdaptedOut: Subverted. Some of the side characters are cut out completely from the story portions of the games, but are unlockable as playable characters.

** Various scenes from each year are cut out. It even has its [[LEGOHarryPotter/AdaptedOut own page]].

** Various scenes from each year are cut out. The Hufflepuff Quidditch match, Yule Ball, Ron's Quidditch match, and the year 7 stay at 12 Grimmauld Place are to name a few.

** ''Chamber of Secrets'' and ''Half Blood Prince'' are cloudy, being somewhat darker than their predecessors.
** ''Prisoner of Azkaban'' takes place at night, adding a slight eeriness thanks to the school being on lockdown.

** ''Deathly Hallows Part 2'' is both sunny and cloudy at the same time, either representing TheCalmBeforeTheStorm or peace afrer spoiler:

* HubLevel: Diagon Alley.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Harry himself is a bit of a cartoonish jerk in these games. For example, during the Dueling Club scene in Chamber of Secrets, he deliberately commands the snake to go after Malfoy, looking smugly when Malfoy flees from it. He was also highly amused when he saw Snape being humiliated by his father during the flashback he saw his Occlumency lessons, while the real Harry was actually disturbed seeing his father act like this.

** When Harry and Ron use Polyjuice Potion in ''Chamber of Secrets'', they still have their same forms except with black heads of hair floating over their heads ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation even though when the player does it, it's a perfect transformation]]).

*** Hermione coming along with Harry to help in Harry's battle against Quirreldemort in ''Sorcerer's Stone'' and later on in ''Goblet of Fire'' to help in the First Task.

The first, '''''Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4''''' covers the first four films in the Harry Potter series: ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'', ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'', ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', and ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''. The game is available on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/NintendoDS, UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable, Microsoft Windows, OS X and UsefulNotes/{{iOS}}. The OS X version of the game was released on February 22, 2011 by Feral Interactive. A UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 version of the game was planned, but later cancelled for unknown reasons and was scrapped along with ''VideoGame/LegoIndianaJones 2: The Adventure Continues''.

The second, '''''Lego Harry Potter: Years 5–7''''', covers the final four films: ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'', ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows – Part 1'', and ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows – Part 2''. The game was released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable, UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita, UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, UsefulNotes/NintendoDS, UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, Microsoft Windows, and UsefulNotes/{{iOS}}.

* BigEater: Ron Weasley is often seen stuffing himself, whether it's at the beginning of the year feast, [[WhileRomeBurns while his house burns]], whenever.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Polyjuice Potion is much more powerful than it is in the books and movies. Not only does it last indefinitely (or at least until you reach the next cutscene or certain areas where it won't let you be Polyjuiced), but you can use it to turn into non-human characters such as Dobby or even ''ghosts''. This is despite the fact that when the game shows the canonical usages of the potion, it works how it should.

* RealityWarping: Courtesy of certain spells -- e.g., [[TransformationRay Transfiguration]] and [[TimeMaster Time Turner]].

* BraggingRightsReward: Finding all golden bricks in ''Harry Potter: Years 1-4'' ultimately allows you to unlock Voldemort as a playable character. But he is not any different from any other dark wizard in the game, and seeing as you already require a dark wizard to unlock Voldemort, he is not the most useful character...except to show everyone that you finished the game at 100% completion.

* AdaptationalBadass: SmugSnake Dolores Umbridge gets this trope of all people in ''Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7''. In the original books, she is portrayed as mean, but very incompetent when it comes to actual magical knowledge and ability, while her combat skills are next to nothing. However, when a herd of angry centaurs fire arrows at her in the game, she employs some impressive martial arts moves, such as casually avoiding an arrow, followed a backflip and even kicking one arrow away. She is also a boss fight in the final year, in contrast to the books, where she is knocked out by a single spell.
* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the LEGO Adaptation games can be played without having experienced the source material, though the games are clearly targeting fans of the originals. The exception is ''Harry Potter Years 5-7''. While you can muddle your way through ''Years 1-4'', you will be completely lost in the sequel. For an example of how these games look to someone unfamiliar with the source material: ''[[http://www.mytgn.co.uk/forum/content.php?67-Lego-Harry-Potter-as-Explained-by-Somone-Who-Has-Never-Read-Harry-Potter-Introduction LEGO Harry Potter as Explained by Someone Who Has Never Read Harry Potter]]''.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: ''Harry Potter: Years 1-4'' has Voldemort take Harry's glasses instead of having Pettigrew cut Harry's arm with a knife for his blood as happens in the books and when Voldemort is in full form, Harry gets his glasses back anyway.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the film and book version of "Deathly Hallows", [[spoiler:Hedwig is killed by a Death Eater]]. In ''LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7'', though, her death doesn't happen because she's needed to deliver the red bricks.

* WeCanRebuildHim: After Cedric dies at the end of the final level, he literally falls to pieces. When his father Amos sees this, he starts crying, until Dumbledore shows him an assembly manual for Lego Minifigures, after which Amos cheers up.

** In-universe example, the "riddikulus" spell is obviously used for defeating any chests with boggarts in them. So, if the LEGO games play things for laughs, what happens? Well, the characters which had their fears described in the book happen as usual (Spider with rollerskates, the moon flying as a deflating balloon, receiving failing grades, etc.). And then you have ones which didn't appear in the book: Most minor wizarding characters have Voldemort; casting riddikulus on him makes him fly onto his back and start sucking a dummy. Voldemort has Harry Potter; he just shoots him.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The games actually grouped any characters with the same character or outfit together, though this doesn't seem to transition to later games.

* DiscOneNuke: After the second level in the whole game (the first one at Hogwarts) you have the ability to get to the "Collect Ghost Studs" Red Brick powerup, before the plot takes you there. It only costs 50,000 studs, which can easily be obtained by this point, but it allows you to collect the "Ghost Studs" dropped by Nearly Headless Nick as he leads you to the next level/lesson/cutscene. You can easily get the 4 million needed to get Accio (which makes a lot of the puzzles moot by just giving you potion items) as well as other spells in just an hour or so of grinding. Makes OneHundredPercentCompletion extremely easy. Add to this a glitch that sometimes allows you to collect ghost studs after you finish year 4 (when you shouldn't be able to) and this really edges into the territory of GameBreaker.

** Voldemort has Harry Potter. He just shoots him.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Examples from ''Harry Potter 1-4'' include:
** Ginny Weasley and Cedric Diggory helping out in the final battles of years 2 and 4, respectively.
** The flying car bringing along a motorcycle for the escape from [[GiantSpider Aragog]].
** Hermione coming along with Harry to help in Harry's battle against Quirreldemort in ''Sorcerer's Stone'' and later on in ''Goblet of Fire'' to help in the First Task.
** Not counting adjustments made for two players, it's basically impossible to explain in ''Harry Potter 5-7'' that [[spoiler:Voldermort killed Snape due to assuming he was the inheritor of the Elder Wand]], so he instead executes him for eating the last cookie.

** Pick up an [=NPC=] with Wingardium Leviosa, then rotate the left analog stick while they're in the air. 8 times out of 10, they start spinning ridiculously fast, and by releasing the spell button, they go flying. Oh yes, and if that's not enough, zap the teachers after you've finished a lesson! [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment For the most part, they actually fight back]].

* VisualPun: In the Hufflepuff common room, there are two pillows you can start a pillow fight with. No, you don't fight anyone else with the pillows. The pillows fight each other.
** Also, when Snape dies, he literally kicks a bucket.
