Lego Harry Potter: Years 5–7's basis gameplay follows the standards of that of the previous game as adapted to the story of the last three books and four films, covering a wide range of new characters, locations and items.[8] The online play feature that appeared in Lego Harry Potter Years 1–4 is absent from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of this game. Some additional quality of life changes was made, such as Wingardium Leviosa (for building and moving certain objects) no longer needing the spell to be selected to do said features.
