So as both Harry Potter Legos has been re-released as a remastered combo set, I’ve been working back through it on my new console. I had already done years1-4 on Xbox 360 but never got 5-7. This site was VERY convenient to double check to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything during my “reruns” in free play; the chapters were organized efficiently and included the rerun POI’s at the end each chapter walkthrough - SO convenient. So I stuck with this site for double checking myself on years 5-7 but found it to be a hot mess. There are locations where the site lists all the collectibles for that area, but the game tells me there are more collectibles than the site lists. I lost track of how many many areas this occurs. And there are way more character token to find than the site provides locations for. Another example, in reading through the Y5L1 walkthrough page, it gives the location for the “first crest” (not the blue crest or the yellow etc) and then a few paragraphs la
At the Ministry, have a Dark Wizard use the Imperius curse (yellow) on the guard with the question mark over his head. You can then turn the soda machine into a cool levitating scooter thing.
