As fans first heard it last year, LEGO & Warner Bros had a signed contract for LEGO to produce building sets based on Warner Bros film adaptions of the book series, but the deal expired shortly after the release of the fifth Harry Potter film. And when Warner Bros released a statement to the press concerning this, they stated that, at that time, they had no intention of renewing the expired contract.But now, LEGO has revealed exactly what was included in the contract.
Jill Wilfert, LEGO's vice president of global licensing, said this:
"The world of Harry Potter has inspired some of our most successful products and we are thrilled to continue creating imaginative play opportunities for fans everywhere.
the best of which are represented in our upcoming lines.”
One product in their upcoming line is an LEGO HP board game, the first board game LEGO has ever produced in their company history.
"Players will be able to build and then move throughout the iconic castle to be the first to collect various objects to win the game."
Sounds interesting enough, though perhaps more recommended for older children.
