It's really quite difficult not to be charmed by TT Games's Lego series. The studio's retelling of classic stories with plastic blocks and almost no dialogue are wonderful examples of licensed games done right.
Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is no different, blending J.K. Rowling's boy wizard with the Danish building blocks to great effect, and answering a lot of the criticisms of the first game in the process.
Just like that
You lead Harry and a huge cast of other unlockable characters on an adventure that takes you from a playground in Little Whingeing all the way to the climactic battle of good versus evil in the hallowed grounds of Hogwarts.

Summary
A more refined beast than its predecessor, Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is a fitting end to the boy wizard's adventures
