Eurogamer has posted up a preview of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Video Game which will be released in May!

It’s been created with typical class: sunlight slants through windows, beds in the dorm rooms are ripe for bouncing on, and everywhere you look there are pots of LEGO flowers to destroy for studs, or promising stacks of bricks gently spasming on the floor, calling out for investigation. The latest LEGO game may be unusually focused on a single location, but it’s the series’ biggest area yet, and its busiest too, filled with endless distractions and little gags.

Far more than a simple interactive menu, the school is the place where Harry and friends will attend lessons, learning new kinds of spells, which will in turn open up more of the story. Starting the game – which, as the title suggests, charts the narratives of the first four books – with no knowledge of magic whatsoever, by the end of the adventure, Harry will have filled up a reassuringly spacious selection wheel of powers.

With four books’ worth of plot to wade through, over a hundred characters to unlock and thousands of colourful things to investigate, smash, and generally mess around with, Traveller’s Tales is clearly onto another huge hit. Its template might be a little too familiar to pass as genuine magic any more, but at its heart this looks like another competent and witty outing: a near-bottomless pit of collectables for OCD children, and a pitch-perfect exercise in global branding.

Shock Till You Drop is reporting that Tom Felton will play the role of “Patrick” in Todd Lincoln’s currently filming The Apparition.  The film is rumored to be shot in Germany, and Tom Felton arrived in Berlin yesterday according to his Twitter.

Filming has begun on Dark Castle’s latest foray into the supernatural, The Apparition, with Todd Lincoln writing and directing.

Shock Till You Drop has had the finger on the pulse of casting news for this one and we can exclusively confirm that the Harry Potter franchise’s “Draco Malfoy,” Tom Felton, has joined the production as the third lead of the story. He’ll be playing “Patrick.”

Felton joins previously announced cast members Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan, Julianna Guill, Luke Pasqualino and Suzanne Ford. Little is known about the film’s story other than it concerns a couple haunted by a supernatural presence in the wake of a college experiment.

Apparition comes to you from producers Joel Silver, Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman (the latter two produced The Strangers).

Thanks FeltBeats!
