Finding all the hidden collectibles in LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 is essential for players aiming to achieve full completion. Among the most valuable items scattered throughout the magical hub worlds are the Red Bricks, which unlock powerful modifiers and score multipliers. Locating these parcels and sending them via the owl post allows you to purchase game-changing upgrades upstairs at the Leaky Cauldron.
Multiplier Bricks for Rapid Stud Collection
Boosting your currency collection is much faster when you locate the various score multipliers hidden across the game worlds. The Score x2 modifier can be found along the Hogsmeade Path by using Spectrespecs near the end of the trail to build a hidden snowman. For a larger boost, head to Kings Cross Station and use the Diffindo spell on the red material wrapped around a large pillar near the owl stand to reveal the Score x4 parcel.
Even larger multipliers require specific characters and spells to access their hidden areas. The massive Score x6 modifier is tucked away on the winter version of the Hogsmeade Path, requiring the clever use of Ron Weasley's Deluminator to transfer light between lamps. Finding these specific items early in your exploration makes purchasing the remaining characters and school upgrades significantly easier.
Utility Modifiers and Environmental Enhancements
Aside from multipliers, several utility bricks offer unique advantages that alter how you interact with the environment. In the Great Hall Entrance, players can use dark magic on a prominent cabinet to spill out loose pieces that assemble into a moving car, which drops the Hogwarts Crest Detector. If you are tracking down elusive character tokens, heading to the Divination Classroom provides a puzzle involving a wooden box and spectator lenses to unlock the corresponding detector.
Other convenient upgrades help clear out regional puzzles and speed up tedious gameplay actions. The Fast Dig ability is located safely on the Hogwarts Grounds, where using Spectrespecs near the owl stand reveals the hidden pieces needed to complete a stone circle. Additionally, breaking a silver statue outside Slughorn's classroom in the 7th Floor Corridor using Reducto grants the highly useful Stud Magnet modifier.
Survival Upgrades and Special Character Enhancements
Keeping your characters safe during difficult bonus stages becomes much simpler with health-related modifiers. The Extra Hearts upgrade can be discovered inside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom by using dark magic on a horse skeleton to break open a nearby cupboard. If you find yourself losing health frequently, tracking down the Regenerate Hearts brick inside the Thestral Enclosure provides a passive safety net by breaking a dark rock near the entrance.
Finally, unlocking physical enhancements allows any playable character to bypass structural roadblocks. The Super Strength modifier is located within the Weasley Courtyard, hidden inside a small container beneath the overhead walkway. Gathering these functional tools ensures that your free roam adventures across Hogwarts remain smooth, productive, and highly entertaining.
