There is no doubt that the Harry Potter franchise is a commercially successful one. Harry Potter did not only make fans out of billions of people around the globe, it is one of those rare literary gems that have managed to shape cultures and societies. Since the first book was released in 1997, a plethora of Harry Potter merchandises have been rolled out to eagerly awaiting fans. Fans, regardless of age and gender, buy more than just the books and the video discs. They also buy shirts, game boards and stuffed toys influenced by the Harry Potter books and films. Even the toymaker Lego, rolled out kits influenced by characters and settings found in the novel and film.

No merchandise is as absorbing as the Harry Potter videogames though. Electronic Arts have produced several games based on the franchise, the first of which was released in 2001. The video games were released to coincide with the films and are playable on different games consoles.

Among these platforms, Harry Potter Wii is the most engaging. You will be using the Wii remote and nunchuck to interact with the splendidly rendered gaming environment. The incorporation of body movement and hand gestures adds another dimension of fun, which is otherwise not present in its point-and-click counterparts.

English software company, Traveller’s Tales also rolled out an equally enjoyable Harry Potter Lego Game. Seeing the characters and settings made into Lego models just adds to the charm of the said game. Gamers and experts raved about this game, even pegging it as a classic. This game can also be played on other game consoles, just like the Harry Potter Wii.

A sequel to the Harry Potter Lego Game is said to be in the works. This is definitely good news for enthusiasts who have not yet recovered since the release of the last installment of the Harry Potter film series. These very interactive games are the next best thing to re-experiencing the magic of Harry Potter and Hogwarts. Like the books and films before them, both Harry Potter Wii and the Harry Potter Lego Game will become classics.
