Harry Potter will be the next film franchise reduced to blocky form for a LEGO videogame, according to a report from CVG which cites anonymous sources.

The supposed LEGO game would likely be timed for release with next summer's Harry Potter "movie event," Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Harry Potter film distributor Warner Bros. recently published Traveller's Tales' LEGO Batman: The Videogame. Shacknews has contacted WB for comment on the rumor.

I highly doubt this will happen. As opposed to with LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Batman, the Harry Potter LEGO license is not being aggressively marketed. I believe they only made one set for the last movie.

These games are way overrated. The animation code is pure crap. For example, in the Stars Wars lego games when you performed an attack, you couldn't move your character. He would just stop and perform his animation. There was no animation blending to speak of.
