The latest LEGO videogame brings families together for a magical journey.

(NAPSI)-A new videogame is casting a spell on young players by combining the humorous gameplay of LEGO® and the magic of Harry Potter™. The two beloved brands have come together to give players of all ages a unique way of experiencing the Harry Potter adventures.

Readers and moviegoers have been enchanted by the story of Harry Potter and "LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4" allows them to experience Harry's first four years at Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-LEGO style! Players are encouraged to learn spells, solve puzzles and mix potions as they explore iconic environments such as Hogwarts™ castle, the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley™, the village of Hogsmeade and more.

Easy drop-in and drop-out cooperative gameplay, one of the key features that have made LEGO videogames a hit with families, gives kids, parents and friends a reason to gather around the television to spend time together. Fans will get a kick out of unlocking and selecting from the diverse cast of 170 playable characters including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley™, Hermione Granger™ and Hagrid™, as well as pet characters such as Ron's rat, Scabbers, Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, and Hagrid's dog, Fang. They'll also have the opportunity to build and customize their very own LEGO character to use when they play in Freeplay mode.
