This LEGO Harry Potter Platinum Really Surprised Me! (Years 5-7)

I played LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 for the first time and decided to go for the platinum trophy!
Today we’re going after the platinum trophy for LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7. And when I say this one surprised me…that wasn’t always in a good way.
Don’t get me wrong, the game is really fun and better than the first game in many ways.
There are awesome new mechanics and improvements to the gameplay, plus you get to travel to so many different iconic wizarding world locations that you don’t get to see at all in Years 1-4.
I’m just a dad who loves platinum trophies and right now…I have 60 of them. By the end of this video, I’m gonna have 61.
Before any great trophy hunt, you need to go in with a strategy.

Which game should I try to platinum next?

[@dylanmcleod5489]

Dragon Age!! Just kidding, you should do Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince

[@Rebateman]

Do PS3 games have platinums or count? If so and if you want a break from Harry Potter or Lego, MySims SkyHeroes would be interesting. Sure, it isn't the best game in the MySims series (a spin-off of The Sims), but it's the only one on PlayStation and, excluding flash games, is the 4th game in the series not exclusive to both Wii and DS (after the first game getting a Java mobile game and a PC port, the DSiWare exclusive game, and a lost media Korean exclusive Java mobile game) and the last game in the series.

red dead redemption 2

[@RetroRaconteur]

Sure, PS3 games count. Any game with a platinum!

[@Rebateman]

All of that, defeating Voldemort... opening a box multiple times... just for 10 points to Griffindor.

[@RetroRaconteur]

😆😆😆

[@dvdh4856]

These videos make me want to go back and finally platinum my lego HP games as well! I don’t have your level of patience and dedication though lol. Sigh.. I’ll get there one day 😅

[@RetroRaconteur]

You can do it! Just space it out over a few weeks instead of trying to cram it into a few days like I did 😆

[@RoryTGN]

Amazing video retro!!!!!

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks, Rory!

I personally prefer 1-4 with one of the main reasons being that many areas (most notably all 4 common rooms) that were explorable before are no longer explorable in this game and although I liked some locations added I felt disappointed by some that weren't (like Hogsmeade, Ministry and Godrics Hollow only being a level). Spell wise they were both equal imo. Character wise again pretty equal. Level wise I enjoyed both, but just 1-4 slightly more. Graphics wise is the only place I preferred 5-7. I still love and enjoy both, but it just felt like they took away things they didn't need to and when adding new things they had a lot of missed potential. But it also goes to show how much potential a Skywalker Saga type of remake of Harry Potter has. Especially if they hopefully decide to follow more closely to the book story wise (which might be too much to hope for so I'll hope it happens, but won't add it to expectations).

[@RetroRaconteur]

Really hoping the remake rumor is true!

[@JEA-vv6yw]

I got 100% in this game yesterday, good work.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Nice!

[@IntelAuror98]

Nice dude!

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks!

[@lillianwanke5708]

Are the VODS of your Lego playthroughs available anywhere? I'd love to watch them!

[@RetroRaconteur]

Yep! They're on my twitch page. I streamed most of the 5-7 playthrough.

[@papillonsverts5863]

Thank you so much 😍

[@RetroRaconteur]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@MrsRetroRaconteur]

That must have been a really good cookie 😆

[@RetroRaconteur]

😆😆😆

[@bmill229]

I'm currently working on this trophy, did the Sirus Black one was I was going through the story because of you. I have missed the tent ones, I'll see if can go back.

[@RetroRaconteur]

I think you should be able to!

[@bmill229]

@@RetroRaconteur Did it. Just finished the game late last night and got my third platinum trophy. Planing on platinuming all Harry Potter games, then move to some games I played in my childhood. Thanks for the inspiration, my first platinum was in June this year with Hogwarts Legacy.

[@RetroRaconteur]

@bmill229 awesome 👏🏻

[@Flameundead]

I did the same thing with the bonus

[@Mary_Studios]

So glad you didn't have to retry the 1 mill stud level because you didn't get a key character.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Same! That would have been unbearable 😆

[@hobbybugs1286]

1-4 you can enter all the common rooms and dormitories

[@RetroRaconteur]

Yep! I was surprised you couldn't do that in Years 5-7.

[@activityfade6484]
