Looking for a magical video game deal? For a limited time, the Nintendo Switch eShop is featuring a sale that offers the Lego Harry Potter Collection for a mere $6. But it’s not just the Lego Harry Potter games that are getting a price cut, as numerous entries from the Lego series of titles are currently available at a massive discount.
For many, the Lego Harry Potter Collection will be the bell of the Yule Ball among the current Lego sales. Mainly because the game isn’t one, but two, Harry Potter games in one package. Developed by TT Games, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 was released in 2010 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and numerous other systems to fairly high critical acclaim.

LEGO has released a plethora of licensed games over the years, with some of them still regarded as being the best family-friendly games around.
Due to the success of Years 1-4, TT Games followed it up with a sequel in the form of Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 in late 2011. It would then take until October 2016 for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to bundle the two titles together in the form of the Lego Harry Potter Collection for PlayStation 4. Finally, it arrived on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch two years later. Some consider the Lego Harry Potter Collection to be one of the best Harry Potter games ever made.
Normally retailing on the Nintendo eShop for $30, the Lego Harry Potter Collection is currently 80% off. However, as previously mentioned, there are several other Lego titles seeing price cuts too. The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is discounted by 90%. As is 2019’s Lego Jurassic World. 2021’s Lego Marvel Superheroes is enjoying an 85% sale. And 2022’s Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, “one of the most ambitious licensed Lego games ever“, is also being pushed down by an 80% discount.

If you’re a fan of TT Games’ Lego titles, now is a great time to stock up on these excellent franchises. These games make for incredible cooperative experiences to play with your friends, children, or significant other. And because they’re all so relatively lightweight in data size, you should easily be able to install them all onto one microSD card. Those looking for a deal might want to check out the Sonic the Hedgehog-themed ones.
It’s a weird time for publisher Warner Bros. Interactive. The publisher recently canceled its Wonder Woman title, which was in development at Monolith Productions. Worse than that, the company shuttered Monolith Productions, as well as the teams at Player First Games, and WB San Diego.
Who knows whether the Lego sale is related to the publisher’s recent woes, but the shuttering of Monolith Production in particular is a tough one for fans of video games. The developer was acclaimed for its previous efforts, which most recently included Middle of Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and Middle Earth: Shadow of War. The team was also the originator of the Warner Bros. patented nemesis system. Because of the studio’s closure and the system’s patented status, we may never see it utilized in a game again.
Players have a bit of time to decide whether to pick these games up, though. All of these eShop sales run through March 24th, 2025.
