Semi-related, but seeing the pre-first HP movie merchandise really takes me back. I really loved how the character designs they used for merch *kind of* looked like the actors about to portray them but also *kind of* like how they were portrayed in the book artwork. It made for an interesting amalgamation of a design that really is nostalgic to look back on.

It is super nostalgic, once Azkaban came out it became much more serious in tone and advertising. Sorcerer's stone and Chamber of Secrets are fantastic movies (Chamber being the best HP movie) and have a very comfy atmosphere. Chalk that up to the director Chris Columbus

Yes!! I have been thinking about this game for years! I didn't even know it was a game; I just remember looking at grass, railroad tracks, and maybe the outside of hogwarts. I cant believe this is real

To be fair, you could make some cool stuff in Creator and Creator Knights, but something about the first Potter game’s development left it far glitchier.

Definitely want to see a sequel video, thanks for covering this

I had no idea there was a sequel, but I would love a video on it!

Ah, that's a nice Christmas present. I grew up with almost all LEGO Creator games, except for LEGO Creator: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. I also remember getting stuck at the damn ring when I played it for the first time. Well, it was still less frustrating than the rings in Superman 64. So thank you for this video and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

I think a cool video could be looking at the level builders in Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues and whichever Harry Potter game had one, because that's a neat feature they really need to bring back.

It was in Harry potter 1-4

I had the sequel as a kid, I'd like a video about that

I have vivid memories of playing this game as a kid, but I didn't think anyone else remembered it lol

I saw this in PC world when it was released. It was like £25 and I think at the time Vice City was a similar price. I choose well I think.

This was a cool game when I was a kid. I loved the original Lego Harry Potter sets so this was amazing, especially the fact you could make yourself as a minifig and roam around. Annoyingly though, there was a limit on how much you could place down in an area. I once really tried to map out the Hogwarts classes and at some point it just stopped letting me place stuff down 😂

You always dig up my past. And only the good stuff. Please never stop.

I’ve been dying for someone to cover these old Lego HP games

If Flandrew ever got to focus on Nintendo weird old media, I would love to see him suffer through the Zelda CDi content, that would be gold

This game was my childhood! Thanks for bringing back all those good memories!

I had a lot of fun with this game back in the day, and it's been funny for me looking at some of the retrospective videos not figuring out the breath of controls as far as getting to different stages. It's not clearly explained and does rely on you getting curious about the wand button, checking the help functions and maybe reading the manual, but it is a whole chunk of the game that isn't always obvious to newcomers. That bit with the broomstick challenge was definitely tricky though Aside from the plus/minus button situation and stiff controls, moving things up and down to mount Harry on the broom was one of those things that was hard for child me to grasp, and I guess not easily explained as you discovered with your playthrough.

Seeing the Lego Island titles here was super nostalgic. Be fascinated to see you talk about those.

Now, this is why I am here. Man, I played or at least tried playing all the Lego Creator games on my PC and let me tell you. Playing pirated games without any knowledge of the language makes it a unique experience. You don't know if there are bugs because it is pirated, or you suck because you have no idea how to read the instructions, or the game sucks 🤣 But I loved them either way as it was the perfect combo of my favourite things, Lego and Harry Potter. Right in, the nostalgia feels.

As a kid I loved to play it. The character generator was fantastic and it was great to explore all the hidden rooms. Unfortunately I never played the second game, so I would love to see a review on that!

Happy holidays flandrew and everyone! This is an awesome surprise

My favourite moment was when he said he doesn't have the plus or minus keys and then shows a shot of his laptops plus and minus keys 💀

I think I had this game growing up, but I don't remember any of the building parts. I don't think I ever got further than just walking around the area with a ton of grass!

I remember borrowing this from the library, but I haven’t had a clue what I was doing.

This game looks so charming. I was too cool for it at the time it came out. Thanks for covering it!

The music for this game is pure nostalgia! (And the best part for me)

as a kid i found this in our storage garage one day, don’t know why we had it as my mom was the only person who looked harry potter but didn’t know how computers work and my dad liked legos but not harry potter, i (luckily) loved both and immediately threw it into my pc and poured hours of my time into it. if anyone can give me any insight on how i can play it now, as the disk doesn’t work on modern windows, please let me know i’m dying to play it again!

My Grandma got me this when I was little and I loved it!! Still have it on my shelf

I always marveled at the advertisement for this game in the directions that came with my Lego sets

Loved this video! Please do a video on The Chamber Of Secrets Lego Creator

Core memory unlocked, I forgot I even played this game but I loved every second of it

Finally someone is talking about my OG lego nostalgia game I had the hogwarts castle that was my spoiled rich kid moment, the design was so good on the early hp lego stuff

100 percent want to see the Chamber Of Secrets sequel! Can’t say I ever played this when I was young, was a bit early in my life!

Gotta do rock raiders next

seeing the rest of the lego creator harry potter games would be interesting to watch

Oh god I remember that one. My friend had it back when we were younger.

Wasn't there a sequel / remake of this just a few years later with more content? I remember because any time I talked about it in school, people mentioned stuff that just wasn't in this version at all.

Thanks for the video! I think I still have my copy kicking around somewhere. Now I want to see if I can find it and run it on an old windows XP laptop.

Funny thing is, I recently picked up that same Microsoft keyboard to restore.

Still have this game lying around in a moving box somewhere, it was the bomb. It did crash every 30mins though. Never knew there was a sequel.

One of the few games the family ancient computer at the time could handle.

Make a video of Star Wars Battlefront games.

The only memories I have of LEGO Creator: Harry Potter is some Irish lad on the internet named Kevin play it.

Now this is the deepest cut

Wow, I had no idea this existed. I thought there was only the first lego creator game.

The lego HP game of my generation. I remember mucking about with this game on my Mum's old PC

3:30 Wouldn't the Plus and Minus keys next to the numbers at the top work?

I got this game as a kid while I was sick of chickenpox. My father was like "try to focus on this game I bought you instead of the rash!" trying to help me get through the sickness. So I was having a bad time in real life while trying to undertand wtf was I supposed to do in this "game" that had barely any fun gameplay in it and played more like a list of annoying tasks.

Maybe I'm being be dumb, but aren't the + - buttons near the BACKSPACE key, that your laptop has? O_o

I found the controls "too hard" cause of the mouse and it was very bugy on newer XP systems.

i wanna see the other lego game, i saw it the local shop and remember being confused that it even existed, i'd never head of it before

Hi Flandrew ;) I hope you'll do a video about all different versions of Home alone 2 like you promised a year ago :)

It’s a shame trying to get this game to run on modern hardware is a pain

do a full play through of star wars bounty hunter!!

Of course i (we?) want to see a follow up video. I can't really say anything about the game. Yet. I bought it years ago on a flea market or something and now the CD is resting at my parents house. Maybe it's time to finally try it.

You gonna cover the Lego Creator Harry Potter sequel too?

Oh God I had forgotten I ever had this game till now

You did it!

My only fond memories I have of this game are from seeing ads for it in Lego catalogues in the early 2000's. I never owned this game if you can even call this a game. I would like to see you provide coverage of the sequel to this game that ties in with Chamber of Secrets.

Wow I had completely forgotten that this existed…

The smirk of plot armor 😏

I was friends with a rich kid who had this and a shit-ton of the lego sets, the entire castle even. LEGO is so nostalgic

Yes, finally!

I still have this game.

I literally saw the + and _ keys on your keyboard wdym, unless the ones next to the top row of numbers need shift to work?

Yeah, this game was incredible! But I haven't been able to get it to work on a modern computer at all.

It took me as long to get this game working, as it did making the actual video

the second game was so much better as you got to explore properly and you had objectives

This is great

As someone who had both games, please look at the second it's incredible. Much better (from hazy 20 year old memories)

I used to spend hours on this game and I honestly think the vibe is perfect, but goddamn, was it janky. if you played as the ghost character, then you could clip fully out of the map in the outside bit in the forbidden forest. i used to pretend that I was exploring the woods.

You used a cutout of the suspended Aragog prop from the HP Exhibition.

The only real thing I remember from this game is that it ran at less than 10 FPS on our family Windows 98 PC :(

i played standard creator and it was a blast

Review the sequel!

I remember having this game, running at 5 fps

Bro this kid is a pinhead cartoon

I never understood how to even work this game. 😂

I can think it's perfect before I see it. ❤❤ Please compare spider man friend or foe,web of shadows and the amazing spider man versions And Lord of the rings Aragorn's quest versions And 007 quantum of solace versions too❤

Thank you sir for this video I could never find it I remembered a Lego hogwarts but anytime I looked online all I could find is telltale’s Lego game thank you sir I know at least as far as this existing I wasn’t crazy

Merry Christmas

I used to have this game might still have it played it when I was 5 and I hated it and the painting guy I hated even more game was just a bit hard

can you please do lego city undercover

I use that same keyboard at work. Your dad's taste is fire.

How its supposed i feel nostalgic about this game if it crashes every 5 minutes when I tried to played. The only interesting things were the minifigs included on some version of the game

I didn't have the Harry Potter game but did play creator Knights kingdom the controls were the same was fun for a time but didn't hold my attention for long

Cover the second one! That’s the one I played.

lego racers was sick as fuck

I loved it when I was a kid but man it ran like ass on my windows 98 pc lol

This game was awesome, just so slow

Damn, this game and all of its sounds evoke so much nostalgia for me. It's such a bad game. Terribly glitchy, the gameplay is so bad and it looks so low quality, even for its time. Yet, 8 year old me spent so many hours trying to recreate the entirety of the Hogwarts grounds and the actual interior layout of the castle. I specifically remember being so frustrated when I found out that certain placeable doors allowed you to load into specific rooms in the castle after just having spent hours building the interior of the Great Hall. And then I did it all over again.

1:05 Nice way to poor shame parents, dude. Very necessary for the video

Sequel please the 2nd one is grear

This game isn't good by pretty much any standards. However, almost nothing can compare to growing up in the early two thousands with this as one of only a dozen or so computer game discs at your disposal. The "it will never come back" nostalgia branding is a bit overdone, and to be honest, it's good that we've evolved past this era. However, to any who can relate, or any who come across this comment who never did experience such a short window of time, let me say here, honestly: it was one of life's greatest joys at the time.

Yeah fun but clunky. CoS is better but still all creator games were clunky. Knights Kingdom was my favourite

the real hogwarts legacy haha
