Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 announced

Lego Harry Potter
Harry Potter and pals as they appeared in the last Lego title. The trio will no doubt look a little more grown-up in Years 5-7.

Harry Potter fanatics are in for a busy year. While the final movie in the series, Deathly Hallows Part Two, conjures its way into cinemas this July, winter will see the release of Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7, the latest in the hugely popular series of Lego tie-in games.

Based around the last three Harry Potter books and final four films, the game features an array of new environments including Grimmauld Place, the Ministry of Magic and Godric's Hollow, as well as fresh spells, lessons and enemies. Developer TT Games is also promising a wealth of bonus content.

Harry Potter is set to be the third Lego tie-in to be released this year with Lego Star Wars III and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean already released, the latter still high in the UK games charts. The original Lego Harry Potter title shifted over 2.7 million copies in its first two months on sale.

The game is due out on (deep breath) PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, DS, 3DS and Sony's forthcoming NGP handheld console. More details will no doubt be revealed at the E3 games event in Los Angeles next month.
