LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 – Workaround for Freezing During Year 6 on Wii

lego-harry-potter-years-5-7nintendo-wii

During the year 6 mission "A Not So Merry Christmas" the game freezes when I start putting out the fires.

From what I can tell, it's a problem specific to the Wii version of the game, has anyone experienced this, and if so have you figured out a work around?

I am not sure how reliable is this source, but here it is:

My son was really excited to get this game last Friday. Unfortunately, his enjoyment has been tempered by the extreme bugginess of the release. Since he made it to the 6th year, the game has crashed constantly. We finally called customer service this morning and were informed that it has been recalled. We will be sent a new disk in the mail.

There are other sites that talk about LEGO Harry Potter 5-7 recall, so probably it is better that you contact the customer service too, or your game reseller.

A possible fix it suggested here at Guide4Games.

Adjust sound settings to "Stereo" or "Mono" from "Surround":

  1. In Wii Channel menu -> Select Wii Options -> Press A Button
  2. Go to Wii Settings -> Press A Button
  3. In Wii Settings menu -> Go to Sound -> Press A Buttton
  4. Select "Stereo" or "Mono" -> Press A Button to confirm
  5. Re-start LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7
