You can find the website at this link.

In related news, the video game has graced the cover of Issue 133 of Nintendo World magazine. A scan of the cover is can be seen in our galleries via this link. Additionally, an extensive article on Kotaku about the LEGO game also features a new still from the game: a scan of Hogsmeade in the snow which you can also see in our galleries. The article, which you can read on the Kotaku website, has a number of quotations from Traveller’s Tales’ head of production Jonathan Smith:

“What Indiana Jones can do at the start of the [Indiana Jones LEGO] game is the same as what he can do at the end’ Smith said. “Harry is going to go on a learning adventure over four years, transforming from a boy who can’t do much at all ’ he can wave, picked things up ’ to an incredibly powerful wizard.”

The LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 – 4 game will be released on the 25th of June.
