LEGO® Still Wild about Harry Potter
02/12/2010 - BURBANK, Calif. - Warner Bros. Consumer Products said today it has
extended its relationship with LEGO for more Harry Potter playthings.
Under the agreement, The LEGO® Group plans new construction sets and a board
game inspired by the property in anticipation of this fall’s release of the
latest Potter movie adaptation, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, as
well the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011.
“We have enjoyed a longstanding, successful partnership with The LEGO Group
around Harry Potter and we are delighted to continue this relationship as we
approach the release of the seventh film,” said Karen McTier, executive vice
president, domestic licensing and worldwide marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer
Products. “Fans of the franchise will be excited to discover the wonderfully
original LEGO products inspired by the beloved stories and characters.”
LEGO 2010 line includes six construction sets derived from iconic scenes and
locations, including the Hogwarts Castle, Hagrid’s Hut, Hogwarts Express and
Quidditch Match. Available in October, the sets feature new and newly decorated
minifigures, including versions of Bellatrix Lestrange and Luna Lovegood.
Additionally, LEGO new constructible board game line will include a Harry Potter
game, Hogwarts, in its debut assortment. Launching in August, the game has
players build and then move throughout its namesake castle-turned-wizard-academy
in a bid to be the first to collect various objects. Complicating matters is
that players can move entire classrooms around the board.
Additionally, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games also announced
plans for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the latest addition to the LEGO video
games franchise. Releasing this May on multiple gaming platforms, the game takes
players on a magical adventure through the first four Harry Potter books and
movies, as they build, make potions, solve puzzles and cast spells.
