LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Announced

In the most surprising move of the decade, Traveller's Tales have announced the release of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 for Winter 2011 on all consoles. Encompassing the events of Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows, managing director Tom Stone promises the sequel is "giving gamers a truly epic conclusion to the most successful movie franchise in history with delightful gameplay for all ages". Better still, the initial press release announcing its development tells of "new faces, new challenges and new magic to challenge a host of new foes and some familiar ones, preparing gamers for the ultimate face-off against Lord Voldemort", so while we perhaps shouldn't expect anything too groundbreaking on the LEGO front (although Years 1-4 did score a magical 8.5/10 last year) we can be sure to fight in the epic Battle of Hogwarts and other major events from films 5-8! LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 will retail on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, 3DS, PSP and Sony's Next Generation Portable this Christmas.
