MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and US-based TT Games are teaming up with Lego Group to create Lego Harry Potter Years 1- 4.
Based on the first four Harry Potter books and movies that tell the story of Harry‘s first four years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 looks to offer a mix of magical gameplay and light-hearted humour.
The product being developed by TT Games will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and is scheduled for release next year.
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 will give gamers the chance to experience the magic and adventure of Harry Potter in a Lego way.
Playing as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as well as other characters, gamers will have the opportunity to attend lessons, cast spells, mix potions, fly on broomsticks and complete tasks to earn house points.
Throughout the game, players will also have the freedom to explore iconic settings from the wizarding world including Hogwarts castle, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest and the village of Hogsmeade.
TT Games MD Tom Stone says, "With Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 we are creating an open, wide-ranging experience within Hogwarts that is full of fun and Lego magic. Harry Potter is one of the most beloved and well-respected characters, and we look forward to bringing gamers a new way of interacting in the universe with the LEGO games‘ great humor and exploration."
