Probably the most annoying video game I've ever played. 24 levels is too much for a LEGO game. No character ever talks, they just make Minecraft villagers noises which gets annoying quick. Not a minute goes by where you don't hear some rendition of the Harry Potter theme. To switch characters, you have to go to a cauldron instead of just opening a menu and choosing that way. No, that would be too convenient and accessible to the player. We want this to be as long and tedious as possible.

Unlocking stuff is tedious. To unlock a red brick, you need to do a specific quest, take the red block to an owl, watch a little animation, return to the leaky cauldron, walk down diagon alley, enter the shop, walk up the stairs and then I can finally buy the red brick. Rinse and repeat twenty times. Who the fuck wants to go through all that. How about this? You do the quest, unlock the red block and you can just instantly buy it in the extras menu. There, I just saved you a whole day of your life.

In summary, this has been one of the most torturous gaming experiences I have gone through. Only reason I didn't quit two minutes in is because this is a pretty simple and easy platinum trophy.

One positive that saves this from being half a star is the acquiring of new spells. I thought that was pretty neat. For once, a LEGO game with actual progression.
