Lego Video games rule

After finally finding our way through book 7 of the Harry Potter series a few months ago, the obsession with Harry Potter and spells had waned until...... Lego Harry Potter. Every morning I hear a little voice in my ear, "Can I play Lego Harry?" Is it weird that I'm excited about this? For one thing, last year when we got Lego Indiana Jones, Ethan refused to play, but begged Amara to play so that he could watch the drama unfold. Now, he plays on his own or with Amara, and only opts out when they're up against an intimidating bad guy (which is exactly what Amara did a year ago). Also, the game closely matches the storyline, so its pretty fun to watch. Classic moments: Voldemort floating toward a unicorn with a knife and fork. Dumbledore handing Cedric Diggory's father building instructions after the scene in the graveyard.

Now that they're through all 4 years included in this first release of the game, we're going back through and watching the movies. Only one more month until The Deathly Hallows, Part one!!!!!
