Warner Brothers Interactive and TT Games have announced that it will be releasing a demo for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace on June 7. The demo is a taste of what to expect when the game hits shelves on June 29 -- bricked-out versions of your favorite Hogwarts students getting into trouble in their zany adventures.

The game is said to feature up to 140 playable characters, including the usual suspects (Harry and the gang) as well as that jerk-face Draco, Sirius Black, and more. Each character will have different abilities based on their skills. Ron uses his little rat pal Scabbers to get into nooks and crannies; Hermione is adept at spell-casting; Harry Potter is all emo over the death of his parents.

A demo for the title is also said to hit PlayStation 3 and Windows in "late June."

Is it bad that I'm really excited for this game?

This is the perfect game for my wife and I.

The shitty thing is, we would literally FLIP for a Lego Lord of the Rings, but with EA's lackluster license, I doubt that will happen anytime soon...

My wife and I are totally looking forward to this, her more than I. She's the one who got me watching Harry Potter last summer. Plus we've played all the LEGO games together, BATMAN was kind of a cluster though.

@Magnalon - LEGO LOTR was one of my E3 animal questions (didn't get picked) but I'm still hanging on for that one.

Still holding out or LEGO Event Horizon...

TheJesusNinja26

Definitely buying this, it'll be so cathartic to see Hagrid dying and exploding into tiny little blocks over and over and over.

@HEL:
LOL! I want to blow Umbridge apart with Crucio. Payback's a bitch.

@JesusNinja, Magnalon:
I'll third that. My fiance and I can't wait to play this. Good game for couples, apparently.

TheJesusNinja26

@sirplayedallot -ha ha, I've seen demons in real life with my own eyes, and know hell is real. I prayed a lot harder after seeing that. I guess you could say it "scared the hell out of me", literally.

@socialnorms
Oh yes, that bitch will suffer as well.

Hmmmm, I would call dibs on someone, but most of my favorite characters weren't introduced in the first four books. No Tonks, no Luna, and no Bellatrix, unless I'm mistaken. So I'll be a jerk and call dibs on Hermione. BOOYAH!

Am I the only one that thinks that these LEGO video games are completely moronic?

I'll buy LEGO and I'll buy video games, but no combination of the two will I ever buy. Nor will I ever respect anyone who buys a combination of the two. Why? Because they are, most undoubtedly, a consumer whore.

TheJesusNinja26

@Verision - It's about dry humor, carefree, relaxing, fun. That's why I play them.

Maybe you're just too angry at the world still to appreciate that. Maybe build an igloo out of legos for you and your cold heart to dwell in.

@Verision
It's all just video games dude, relax.

@Verision

I like them :I

EVERYTHING Lego is awesome. I don't even care if it's Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Batman, Harry Potter or something completely retarded. Day one purchase.

Necro BABS

I have played ALL the lego games and I cannot wait for this one. They are a great guilty pleasure of mine.

DustyBlue

I got fed up with the Lego video games during Lego Star Wars 2. Enough of this shit. I mean, Lego Rock Band! LEGO. ROCK BAND.

Aaron Mxy Yost

Sadly they never made any Lego Lord of the Rings sets... the license went to that Mega Bloks crap. Looking forward to this game, because I'm a whore for Legos and Harry Potter.

Verision

@TheJesusNinja26
Maybe you're right, but I still think they're stupid. Also, I live in Canada, so if I want to build an igloo, I'll use snow, thank-you-very-much.

Also, are there actually 25 other Jesus Ninjas? I mean, how many Jesuses of the ninja variety do we really need?

tiberius69

I'd love to see Lego Back to the Future. You'd have marty on skateboard, hoverboard, train, flying car etc

TheJesusNinja26

@Verisiion - Sounds good eh. You're allowed to think they're stupid. There are JesusNinjas in your very town right now, so to answer your question, yes there are. Take care eh.


@tiberius69 - That is an amazing idea. Or the Matrix?

Hamon

It is really perfect game. I have played it two time. From that time i became crazy fan of this game.
