LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a video game based on the first four installments of the Harry Potter series in a LEGO form. The game is due to be released in June of 2010. This game could be considered the revival of LEGO Harry Potter due to only one set was released for the Order of the Pheonix, and no sets being released for the Half Blood Prince, the latest movie. It is being developed by Traveller's Tales, the company that is responsible for most LEGO games.

Production

Revealed to the Public

The game was proven to be in the works by Traveler's Tales in 2009, when a Trailer was released at Nintendo's E3 conference. This trailer was one of the only sources of information about the game until another trailer was released recently, which actually involved gameplay and more characters including old characters like Professor McGonagall and Professor Quirrell "revived" with flesh skin. This was called a Year 1 vignette and more vignettes may come out as time goes by. Right now there are now three vignettes, which are for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3.

Tie in with the Sets

This game will obviously feature the minifigures from the Harry Potter sets. Before the game, sets of Harry Potter were released for the first four movies and one set came out to accompany the fifth movie. Since this game will feature the first four movies, all the sets already created could be implemented into the game, although if a game with all the movies implemented would not have source material for the the Half-Blood prince, and the last movie hasn't even been released yet.

Revival of the Franchise

No sets were released for the theme since 2007, and only one set was released for the Order of the Phoenix. No sets have been created for the most recent movie, the Half-Blood Prince. This caused many people to believe the LEGO Harry Potter franchise was over. This video game is considered a revival of the Harry Potter franchise and more new sets will be released later in 2010.

Development and Distribution

The game is being developped by the well-known LEGO game developers, Traveller's Tales and TT Fusion for the handheld versions. Traveler's Tales was responsible for the development of all four LEGO Star Wars games, two LEGO Indiana Jones games, and the LEGO Batman game. If Traveler's Tales will use their usual format for the game, which is a free roaming hub, and a combination of beat-em up and puzzle gameplay, will appear is unknown, but very likely.

The game is being published and distributed by divisions of Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Electronic Arts will be partly responsible for the publishing and distribution of the game. They have never published a LEGO game before, but have published almost all Harry Potter games so far, due to them having acquired publishing rights to the Harry Potter franchise. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which now owns Traveler's Tales, will be partly responsible for the distribution and publishing. They have already published many LEGO games, including LEGO Batman: The Video Game, LEGO Battles, and LEGO Rock Band.

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to LEGO Indiana Jones. There is a video on Youtube that shows gameplay of the first level, The Leaky Cauldron. In it, Harry can't use magic yet because he dosen't have a wand. But, Hagrid's umbrella can do magic. Also, Harry is seen picking up and putting down something on a green plate.
