LEGO Dimensions Year 2: 8 Things We Learned About Sonic, Harry Potter, Adventure Time & More

3. The Harry Potter Hub World Is Beautiful

Lego’s always had fun with its hub worlds, and over the course of the series has gone for increasingly intricate designs that are as complete as the levels themselves, and that same sensibility has of course been brought over to Dimensions.

The entire game is built around that idea of different worlds, of course, and for Year Two the ante’s really been upped. The new story packs are great and all, but nothing quite matches the expansive, interactive maps.

The crown jewel, at least from the ones we got to see, is the Harry Potter one, which covers so many of the iconic locations – Grimauld Place, Diagon Alley, the school - all realised with a warped-yet-satisfying geography (think Lego The Lord Of The Rings’ Middle-Earth). Hopping on Harry’s broom and swooping through the various jagged buildings is proper dream-making stuff.
