We previously told you that the collector’s edition of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game would include some footage from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A video of the footage is now online. It includes much of the same footage from the new trailer (see it here) and the footage shown during the MTV Movie awards (below).
Update: See a clearer version of the trailer.
We previously reported that the collector’s edition of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game would include an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The game was released today in Europe and a fan took a video while opening the package. The package contained a paper that informed him he could see the footage on July 7th. The 2:00 mark on the video below shows the paper.
Fansite SnitchSeeker was able to get some clarification on the Deathly Hallows footage. Those in Europe will see the footage on July 7th, however those in North America, whose release date is June 29th, and those in Australia (June 30th), will have a DVD that includes the footage.
All the content listed is on a separate disc that is packaged in the Collector’s Edition (for North America and Australia). The Collector’s Editions in Europe do not include the footage in the box. Instead the insert that you see in the video was included. It directs people to the site where they’ll be able to view the footage beginning July 7th.

Thanks to ScarPotter and SS.
We’ve got our promised review for you of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game. Our correspondent, Justin Milgate, had the chance to test the game last week. Now mind you, HP fans, I know how to play some games, but I felt it would be better that someone who’s a true gamer and who knows nearly everything about Harry Potter would be better than me at reviewing the game.
There’s also some new interviews with the game’s producers, Loz Doyle and Arthur Parsons. They talk about the different characters in the game, how you can use them, Quidditch, flying lessons, Hagrid’s Hut, the troll attack, and Voldemort with the unicorn.
First off, our review:
June 25 marks the release of the long awaited 7th installment in LEGO’s movie-to-game adaption series, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4. The developers at Travellers tales gave the game a realistic feel with its smooth scenery in and around the grounds of the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry Potter fans will be happy to hear that the music comes straight from the original movie soundtrack. Like the previous LEGO installments, LEGO has kept true to their formula with squeaks instead of voice acting and has also maintained their style of a platforming adventure game with RPG elements; such as, the ability to learn and cast new spells and make them stronger throughout the game in order to advance further through the storyline. Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will be glad to know that they will have the option to play online with a friend via Xbox Live and PSN (Playstation Network). There are over 100 characters to unlock, including fan favorites: Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Hagrid, Neville Longbottom, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black. The unlockable characters add a complexity to the game that will make it highly replayable. If you were concerned about it being too short, no worries; 3 hours of gameplay will not even get you through the first year at Hogwarts. Characters have their own specific talents according to their written personalities; for example, Harry is the best broomstick flyer and Ron can use scabbers to get into small crevices to collect items and/or assist in solving puzzles.
If there’s one thing I’d like to see in the future edition(s) of the game is the use of the Wii Speak. Wii Speak would give players the chance to actually say the spells along with using the Wiimote.
Whether you are a serious gamer or a novice who simply enjoys a little break from the summer sun, the simplistic controls and humorous cut scenes will be sure to entertain.
