Overview

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is more than just a quick cash in sequel. This is a game that pretty much expands on what the first Lego Harry Potter app (read review) did in every single way. This time we are looking at the final chapter of the Harry Potter saga and once and for all put a stop to the evil Lord Voldemort.

• Amazing 3D graphics, fantastic touch screen controls, a lengthy and fun adventure

Quality

Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 already set the bar pretty high, but this game takes things to a whole new level. The new amazing 3D graphics really do make the characters and environments spring to life. As a matter of fact when played on the latest model iPad this is the best looking version of Lego Harry Potter you can get. It looks even better than the version on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Above all else this is just such a well made game and a perfect game if you want to show off the power of your iPad.

Education

Lego Harry Potter years 5-7 is very much like the first Lego Harry Potter app when it comes to educational value. By that I mean the educational value comes from its puzzle solving sections. The puzzles here are similar to what was on offer in the first game. They are not overly hard, but they will make you have to think for a moment or two.

Entertainment

This is even better than the first Lego Harry Potter app! The game is just huge and features a whole host of your favorite Harry Potter characters. While many characters return from the first app there are also many new ones as well. Each with their own fun look and special abilities for you to play with. Playing through the story is just so much fun. The way that the game brings these Lego characters to life is just so incredibly well done.

The main thing that makes this better than its predecessor is the controls. When the game was first released people were critical of the controls. Well thanks to an update Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 has some of the best touch screen controls you will find. It does not matter if you are just trying to make a character move around the screen or cast a cool spell. The touch screen controls are pretty much perfect in every single way!

The game has all of your favorite moments, locations and characters from the final Harry Potter movies and of course it has the ultimate battle of good and evil where you get to have Harry battle Lord Voldemort. An epic battle that just looks so darn cute in Lego form.

Value

The value here is amazing. Like the other Lego apps this is one that seems to be on offer quite a lot, but even when it is at full price you are getting a fantastic game. You are getting just as much content here as you are with the console versions of Harry Potter Years 5-7, but you are getting it for a fraction of the price.

Child Friendliness

This game does have an in app purchase of a new battle game mode, but that is all. You do not need to purchase any levels, characters or anything else to beat the actual game. Like the other Lego games there are unprotected links to other WB games in the app store.
