Although the two are quite different, Hogwarts Legacy suffers many of the same issues as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The leaked LEGO Harry Potter game would be coming on the heels of Hogwarts Legacy, a wizarding world game which demonstrates the folly of adapting the eponymous castle and its grounds to another open world. Instead, Harry's early years at Hogwarts and the events of the Second Wizarding War will likely feel tacked onto an expansive world filled with mindless tasks, freely explorable through a great number of characters that offer little more than fan service. A plot spanning seven years of Harry Potter's struggle against Lord Voldemort is simply too much to adapt into engaging gameplay. With the leaked LEGO Harry Potter presumably taking a similar approach to the seven-novel, eight-film series, the same missteps are bound to resurface. While LEGO Skywalker Saga's re-telling of the Star Wars story is endearing, the slapstick parody the LEGO games are known for takes a back seat in favor of repetitive platforming, puzzle-solving, and collecting. Main missions became short, incredibly linear segments that ultimately feel like bare-bones vehicles to drive the plot forward in the interest of returning players to its open hub areas. LEGO Skywalker Saga's recreation of every major setting in the nine-film epic is admittedly impressive, but its scale came at the expense of meaningful gameplay – an issue not even the return of Mumble Mode could remedy.
