Most-played LEGO Harry Potter games
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Nintendo DSAction-Adventure
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 is an action-adventure game developed by Traveller's Tales for Nintendo DS and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It adapts the final three Harry Potter stories, following Harry, Ron, Hermione, and their allies through the resistance at Hogwarts, the search for Horcruxes, and the final battle with Voldemort. The game combines compact platforming stages, puzzle solving, spell-based interactions, collectible hunting, and light combat in the series' comic LEGO style. The DS edition is a separate handheld adaptation rather than a direct copy of the larger console versions. Reception generally recognized its faithful story coverage and accessible humor, while noting simpler presentation and more limited level design than the home-console releases.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
Nintendo DSAction-Adventure
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is an action-adventure platformer developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for Nintendo DS. It adapts the first four school years of Harry Potter, following Harry, Ron, and Hermione through familiar events at Hogwarts and beyond. The game combines exploration, light platforming, puzzle solving, spell casting, and collectible hunting in a playful LEGO presentation. The DS edition is a distinct handheld adaptation rather than a direct technical equivalent of the console versions. It was generally received as a charming, accessible Harry Potter game, although its smaller scale and simplified systems were noted when compared with larger releases.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
