So my husband and I are obsessed with the LEGO games for the Wii and, when our obsession was new, I was telling my friend Grace about them in the conversation as follows:

Me: We have been playing a lot of the Lego Star Wars recently. Have you played any of the Lego games?
Grace: I’ve played Lego Harry Potter, it’s awesome!
Me: There’s a Lego Harry Potter? We have to get that, we only have Star Wars.
Grace: Wait, maybe it wasn’t Lego Harry Potter. Maybe it was just a regular Harry Potter game.
Me: I didn’t think there was a Harry Potter Lego game. . . .

Now, when I looked this up later there was, in fact, no Lego Harry Potter game in existence. But what I thought was just Grace being confused turned out to actually be her trying to hide the fact that she is totally from the future and has played this shiz before it has even come out! Because, holy crud, grab your broomsticks, 2010 is bringing none other than. . . *drumroll*

LEGO. . . F’N HARRY POTTER! (Years 1 to 4 which means we are getting at least 2 games.)

How fast can I pre-order this? *zoom* That fast! I am so absurdly excited. Now we have to ration LEGO Batman until it comes out (we already blew through Indiana Jones and Star Wars).

I really hope we are getting a better cover than that, though. The white and the title and nothing else = lame.

So, Grace, what else have you been keeping from me? How long will I have to wait for that flying car?

PS: Old LEGO games = absurdly good value. Even new they are less than $20, used even cheaper. **Highly** recommend that shiz.
