LEGO Harry Potter Cheats: Complete Codes List (Years 1-4 & 5-7)

Every cheat code for both LEGO Harry Potter games is listed below — Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 — covering Gold Bricks, spells, and gameplay modifiers. These codes work on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC. To use them, you need to reach the correct in-game menu first, and the location differs between the two games. Jump to the section you need or read through for the full reference.

How to Enter Cheat Codes in Years 1-4

You can’t enter codes from the pause menu in Years 1-4 — the input point is inside Wiseacres Wizarding Supplies, a specific shop in the Diagon Alley hub.

Here’s exactly how to get there:

1. From any point in the game, pause and select Return to Leaky Cauldron.
2. Exit the Leaky Cauldron onto Diagon Alley.
3. Head down the street and enter Wiseacres Wizarding Supplies.
4. Go upstairs inside the shop.
5. Interact with the notice board on the wall.
6. Type your code using the on-screen keyboard.

This menu becomes available as soon as you’ve completed the first story mission. Before that point, you won’t be able to return to Diagon Alley. Once you’ve entered a code, head to the pause menu and select Extras to toggle gameplay modifier cheats on or off — they don’t activate automatically.

How to Enter Cheat Codes in Years 5-7

Years 5-7 is more straightforward. There’s no shop to hunt down — the code entry screen is directly in the pause menu.

1. Pause the game at any point during play.
2. Select Extras from the menu.
3. Choose Enter Code.
4. Type your code and confirm.

Gameplay modifiers you unlock this way are toggled in the same Extras menu. Gold Brick codes add directly to your total with no further steps required.

All Gold Brick Codes (Years 1-4)

These codes each add one Gold Brick to your total in Years 1-4. There are 11 available via cheat, which can help push you toward unlocking bonus levels without combing every corner of Hogwarts. There are no Gold Brick codes in Years 5-7.

All Spell Codes (Years 1-4 Only)

Spell codes are exclusive to Years 1-4. They unlock spells early — before you’d normally learn them through story progression. One important note: you must have already learned Wingardium Leviosa before any spell code will register. If you enter them before that point, the game won’t accept them.

These function identically to Red Brick unlocks — once redeemed, they appear in your Extras list and can be switched on or off freely.

All Gameplay Modifier Codes

These are the cheats that change how the game plays: stud multipliers, detectors, visual modifiers, and quality-of-life toggles. Most of these carry across both games — but a few are exclusive to one version or the other, which is noted in the table.

Stack the Score multipliers for maximum effect — all active multipliers combine multiplicatively, not additively. Running x2, x4, x6, x8, and x10 simultaneously pushes your Stud gain far beyond what any single modifier achieves.

Which Cheats Work on All Platforms

All codes listed here work across every platform that received the game: PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch (via LEGO Harry Potter Collection), PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC. The codes themselves are identical — there are no platform-specific code variations.

What does differ is the input method. On console, the code entry screen presents an on-screen keyboard you navigate with the left stick or d-pad. On PC, you type codes directly. The codes are not case-sensitive, so don’t worry about capitalisation when entering them manually.

One edge case worth flagging: on the Nintendo Switch version of LEGO Harry Potter Collection, the Extras menu in Years 1-4 is accessed identically to other platforms — through the Wiseacres board — but a small number of players have reported the board becoming unresponsive after extended play sessions. If that happens, a full game restart resolves it consistently.

As of the March 2026 verified check, all codes above remain active and functional on current-generation platforms. No codes have been patched out across any update to the Collection release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do LEGO Harry Potter cheat codes disable achievements or trophies?

No. Unlike many games, activating cheat codes in either LEGO Harry Potter title does not lock you out of achievements or trophies. You can use stud multipliers, detectors, and all modifier codes freely without affecting your completion status.

Can I enter codes before finishing the first level?

In Years 1-4, no — Diagon Alley becomes accessible only after completing the first story mission. In Years 5-7, the Extras menu is available from the pause screen at any point, so codes can technically be entered immediately after starting a new save.

Why isn’t my spell code working in Years 1-4?

The most common reason is that Wingardium Leviosa hasn’t been learned yet. All spell codes in Years 1-4 require this spell to be in your repertoire before the game will accept any of the others. Progress far enough into Year 1 to learn it, then try again.

Are there any character unlock codes?

There are no character unlock codes in either game. Characters are unlocked either through story progression or by purchasing them in the character selection hub using Studs. The Character Token Detector cheat (HA79V8) helps you find tokens faster, but there’s no shortcut to buying them.

Do stud multipliers stack?

Yes — and it’s the most powerful thing you can do with cheats in these games. Activating all five Score multipliers at once (x2, x4, x6, x8, x10) combines their effects, resulting in a multiplier far higher than x10 alone. Community testing suggests the combined total reaches x3840, which makes hitting Stud targets for True Wizard status trivially easy.
