LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5–7 is an action-adventure sequel developed by TT Fusion and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in November 2011. Picking up where the first collection left off, the game covers the darker, final chapters of the saga: The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and both parts of The Deathly Hallows. Technically, this Nintendo DS version is a specialized handheld build that utilizes an isometric 3D perspective, delivering the same story as the console versions but with unique level designs and mechanics optimized for portable play.

The gameplay introduces several new mechanical elements based on the later films, such as Ron’s Deluminator for moving light and Hermione’s Spectrespecs for revealing invisible LEGO bricks. A significant addition is the Wizard Duel system, a one-on-one mini-game where players must deflect spells and choose the correct magic type to overcome opponents like Bellatrix Lestrange or Voldemort. Unlike the sprawling, seamless Hogwarts hub found on consoles, the DS version utilizes a simplified menu-based hub to access 24 story events and 16 different lessons, providing a more structured, bite-sized experience suited for handheld gaming.

Technically, the game runs at a stable framerate on the DS, prioritizing clear character models and smooth touch-screen interactions for spellcasting. While the console versions feature dynamic split-screen co-op, the Nintendo DS version is primarily a single-player experience, with cooperative multiplayer features removed to accommodate hardware constraints. As of 2026, the game is highly compatible with the entire DS family, including the DS Lite, DSi, and Nintendo 3DS via backward compatibility. It remains a definitive portable way to experience the conclusion of Harry's journey, packed with over 80 unlockable characters and numerous hidden collectibles.
