LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a third-person adventure platformer in the LEGO video game franchise, and based on the first four films in the Harry Potter series. Players explore, solve puzzles, collect LEGO pieces, and cast unlockable spells as well as make potions. A split-screen two-player mode is included, as well as an online multiplayer mode.

Following the storyline of the first four Harry Potter films, the player-character visits Hogwarts for the first time, seeks the Philosopher's Stone, uncovers the truth of the Chamber of Secrets, avoids dementors in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and partakes in challenges in the Goblet of Fire.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 received positive reviews, with an average score of 80%, praised for the new editions to the game and overall fun, but criticized for a lack of originality in comparison to previous titles in the LEGO franchise.

As you would expect from a game in the LEGO franchise, this title is a bit time consuming but easy to platinum. Two playthroughs are required, the second of which you will need to follow a guide to find all the collectibles, plus some mopping-up in the free roam.

Expect roughly around 25 hours to complete.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS3 version have a separate list from those on the PS4.

First, you can simply play the game from beginning to end, without worrying about unlocking any trophies besides the story-based ones. During this first playthrough, there are no collectibles to be found, so just enjoy the game and its story.

Once that's finished, you can start replaying missions. Here is where you'll need one of the collectible guides in our Links page. There are 4 golden bricks for each level, plus 3 characters. You will also need to find students in peril, and house crests.

Then, you can collect the collectibles in free roam, specifically Hogwarts and Diagon Alley. This includes more gold bricks, characters, and students in peril.

Finally, you can focus on mopping-up any trophies you still need to grind for, such as scaring 20 people in ghost form for the Boo trophy, freezing 20 people for the Chilled Out trophy, or any kill-related trophies.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a third-person action adventure, based on the 2009 film of the same name, which in turn is based on the novel of the same name by J.K. Rowling. It is the second Harry Potter title on the PlayStation 3, but the first to have trophy support. Some of the lead actors from the film lend their voices for their respected characters in the game, such as Rupert Grint and Tom Felton.

The final battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort lies on the horizon, and so Dumbledore begins to prepare Harry for this inevitable fight as they work together in search of kinks to Tom Riddle's armor by looking for Horace Slughorn, who they believe holds the key to defeating Voldemort. During which, while also attending classes, Harry takes part in Quidditch matches, Wizard Duels, and making potions, depending on the day in which the game is divided.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 69%, praised for its overall presentation and fun, but criticized for occasional tiresome mini-games.

The main adventure portion of this game is not particularly long, and ends in a free roaming which allows you to collect all the remaining trophies. Most of your time will be spent searching for collectibles in the form of crests - 150 of them. Also, the flying challenges can be tricky at times, due to challenging requirements and sometimes poor camera controls.

Otherwise, the Platinum is not particularly difficult, and shouldn't take you more than 20 hours to complete.

For the most part, you simply need to start up the game and play through the main story, going from day-to-day. When the story is completed, the last day will be endless, allowing you to roam freely and collect any trophies you may have missed.

There are 14 trophies related to collecting crests, which are scattered throughout Hogwarts and other areas, making a total of 150 to find. We have collectible guides in our Links page to help you with this. However, considering there are so many of them, it is highly recommended that you keep track of which crests you've found, either by writing down their locations for printing out the guide and using it as a checklist. Otherwise, you may spend hours running around looking for crests you have already found.

The remaining trophies are challenge-related. Check out the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details to anything you're missing after completing the main adventure.
