We've gone from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to Batman. The next logical step, obviously, is Harry Potter! It looks like LEGO Harry Potter is on the way...at least that's the story from Computer and Videogames:

"The next big property to be reborn in little plastic blocks will be Harry Potter, CVG has learnt. We've got no solid details on what form the game will take but an action-adventure type of romp taking its lead from the books (or movies) would be the safe bet. Expect lots of Hogwarts, and big fat Hagrid and a little boy with Lego hair then."

I'm actually pretty psyched for this one. I'm a huge mark for the Harry Potter books and, to a lesser extent, the movies (let's face it...Emma Watson, the mynx that plays Hermione, is getting hot). The distinct sets from the movies (Hogwart's, Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, etc.) should translate nicely into LEGO levels.

There are a lot of people that are irritated that Traveller's Tales gets to make the same game over and over again, but with different paint jobs. I don't fall into that camp. Yes, the games are basic. Yes, the games are above average, at best. However, I really enjoy how the developer uses these licenses, as well as the lighthearted humor in all the "LEGO + license" games. I also like that the games are simple enough for my non-gamer friends to play. Accio LEGO Harry Potter!!! Didn't get that reference? Oh well...expelliarmus!!!
