Short clip of when I earned the Platinum Trophy in Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 on Playstation 3.

I saved a simple trophy (The Enemy Within; where you must "As a Death Eater, cast at anyone in the Hogwarts Hub.") for last so I could record it on my iPhone.

I didn't follow any of the story in this one... I have no idea where I left off in the movies but, apparently before this game's story events take place, haha. I was pretty much lost. Fortunately though, you don't need a solid understanding of the story... it's a LEGO game after all. The story levels were fairly short and some of the minikits and character tokens were hard to find/unlock. The majority of the trophies are earned via the Dueling feature of the game so if you start with the story, you will have slow trophy earning progression. The dueling was a fun little feature unique to this game however, it was a little overdone with all the requirements in the dueling club for the platinum.

The touch screen wasn't really utilized throughout the game so nothing too impressive as far as Vita features. The only thing that used the touchscreen, as I recall, was the duelling and that wasn't too bad; the screen was "split" into 4 quadrants. Top left (shoots your spell left), Top Right (shoots your spell right), Bottom Left (blocks left side), and Bottom Right (blocks right side).

The character selection is a bit different in this one for free play so, if you pick this one up, remember that you only select a single character and the game chooses the rest (supposedly characters needed to do everything in the level) of your party.

Not sure what this was all about but, my game crashed fairly often when going from loading screen to loading screen. It could be because the game was purchased used but, thought it was worth mentioning for those that care. I would solve it by exiting the game and turning off the system. A couple times, I actually had to eject the game card to get the Vita to shut down :(

Overall i'd say this is worthy of a rental.

Platinum Difficulty: 3/10
Game Enjoyment: 5/10
