LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (Windows, Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)

To do: The cutscenes for the handheld versions appear to have been recorded from earlier builds of this game. Make a prerelease page with full comparisons.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is the second LEGO Harry Potter game, and the last. The game gives TT Games' slapstick LEGO humor to the final four Harry Potter films (Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2).

Game Recall#

To do: List all the differences.

The initial game version Harry2-03-10-11-v6.7k_Hotfix, was released with various game-breaking glitches and bugs, some causing the game to crash. Most infamously, this includes using Aquamenti on large flames instantly crashing the game, causing some levels (particularly "A Not So Merry Christmas") being difficult to beat.

On November 18th, the game was recalled on multiple platforms due to its buggy nature. The bugfixed version, Harry2-20-10-11-v8.0m, was released in late November. Contrary to popular belief, this patch was also applied to the Wii version through a reprint, it uses the version title of Harry2-20-12-11-Wii-V2-V1.9.
