The Lego game I’ve been waiting and hoping for has finally been officially announced! Warner Brothers Interactive finally revealed that TT Games is working on Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4! The company hasn’t announced what system(s) the game will be released on, but since the previous Lego games tended to appear on practically every system, I think it’s safe to say Lego Harry Potter will have an all inclusive release. The only downside is, we’ll have to wait until 2010 to actually play the game.

It sounds like a very free-form, sandbox style game, based on the initial description. Players can go through the story, attend classes, perform magic and explore locations from the first four Harry Potter books. Of course, like all Lego games, there will also be multiple characters to play as, though only Harry, Ron and Hermoine have been confirmed so far.

Along with the announcement, a brief trailer was also released. It’s really more of a tease than anything, but still fun to watch.

This is definitely a Day 1 purchase for me. I can’t wait to see Harry cast magic at something, then watch it all explode into little lego blocks!
