Where the 3DS version of the game features a small multiplayer element, the standard DS version has none, and that's disappointing since cooperative play is one of the things that make the LEGO games great. Was this article informative? YES NO. In This Article.

Warner Bros. Interactive customer service. Because we were able to play through the DS version of LEGO Harry Potter without crash bugs on another system, the crashes did not affect the overall score.
The LEGO games are nothing new. Now, the LEGO style of game has been combined with another ultra-popular license in the form of the fictional literary series Harry Potter. We'll just get this right out of the way: if you're not into either, than this game isn't going to be for you. You'll have to do so in order; for instance, you can't jump directly to the Prisoner of Azkaban sequences without first getting through the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets in their entirety.
That's OK because there's a story to be told here, albeit a loose one. LEGO Harry Potter tells its namesake's story in much the same way LEGO Star Wars did, in that there is a minimal amount of voice acting especially in cutscenes and there's an overarching assumption that the gamer who's experiencing the title is already familiar with the source material. The two games are identical in nature, except for the DS version's inferior graphics, sound and controls.
The gameplay itself is traditional action fare but not exactly the LEGO title you've probably played before. Most of the game's advancement is through fetch quests, mild combat, puzzle solving, and of course, the endless collecting of LEGO bits known as studs of which there will be no shortage of as I had over , by the time we made it through the first year.
You'll have a tilted top-down view of the events transpiring through the game's four chapters, and you'll be able to navigate Harry and his friends through all sorts of environments, episodes and predicaments that will be familiar to the Harry Potter faithful. Controlling the game is fairly self-explanatory. The directional pad is one way you can control the game, but you won't want to: the way the D-pad forces you to meander sloppily through environments as opposed to in a more diagonal fashion is horrendous, and will make you want to defer to your other control option: the stylus.
And while the stylus is certainly not the ideal way to control the game either we'd prefer a more functional D-pad solution , it's by far the superior choice. Touching items and people with your stylus will allow you to speak to people, explore items in the environment or cast your standard attack spell.
If you can cast another spell on something in your vicinity you'll learn new spells as you work your way through the game , the action button will bring up a simple puzzle to be solved with your stylus. In fact, there will be all sorts of simplistic puzzles to be solved with your stylus as you progress through the game. And if you have a character or characters available to you apart from Harry at any given time, you can toggle between them by way of — you guessed it -- a swipe of the stylus.
