This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a small Lego-version of Harry Potter as he learns magic spells and defeats enemy creatures at the Hogwarts magic school. Players use a wand to fire fantastical blasts at enemy monsters, spiders, snakes, etc. Characters sometimes cry out in pain and often break apart into smaller Lego pieces when defeated. In one cutscene, a character's body explodes, and the central character cradles the head piece; another cutscene depicts a dragon impaled through the mouth by a sword. During a potion-mixing mini-game, players can use "salamander blood" or smashed worms as ingredients; pixilated blood appears in both sequences. In one sequence, brown Lego droppings fall out of a creature's posterior; a character scoops up the droppings with a shovel and remarks with a comical "Pee-ewhh" gesture.
