Earlier today, The Order of the Phoenix network gained access to a new official video interview with a TT games employee, who works on the game design of the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter game. Among other things in the interview, he stated that designing the LEGO Harry Potter game is a little more different then other LEGO games. And he empathized that each character in the game is unique in some respect. For example, playing as Harry Potter, the player can ride broomsticks easier then others, but is not as adapt at spellcasting. Hermione Granger does not have the ability to fly on brooms, but is more efficient and spellcasting, and can perform it quicker then some.
Players will also be able to explore more freely then in most previous LEGO games, giving players the opportunity to discover some bonus missions or challenges, some of which may unlocked by collecting certain items in the game, or by casting certain spells to reveal them.
With interactive features like these, the LEGO games have just gotten a whole lot better.
