Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7

Lego Harry Potter Years 5 - 7 was also available for trial. The section on show came from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and consisted of Harry and Hermione in the graveyard at Godric's Hollow followed by the confrontation with Bathilda Bagshot later on. Bathilda is just as creepy in lego form and has a bit of a zombie walk going for her. As ever, the lego game has moments of comedy in it, including a moment where Hermione uses a comedy hammer to defeat Nagini. To compliment the game, physical lego sets were also on display, accompanied by a giant Hagrid, who attracted a lot of attention!

The Noble Collection also had products on show, including wands, brooms, the Marauder's Map, Death Eater masks and Luna Lovegood's jewelry. The brooms were particularly popular and were used many a time for a photo opportunity. The Harry Potter version of Destination was the last section of displays, a monopoly-like game where you earn House Points by reaching destinations.

In the centre of the room, to tie the whole thing together, were several costumes and props on display, including a Hogwarts uniform, Harry's triwizard gear from the first task and Ron's Christmas day clothes from the first film. These were accompanied by a broom and various prop books from the movies.

The event brought together many different people, from families to teenagers to young adults and all seemed to have a good time. Whilst it was an event hosted by WB Consumer Products, it didn't feel like parents were being given the 'hard sell' approach, which considering the current climate was probably much appreciated. The mix of observational and interactive elements was enough to keep the attention of even small children.
