Batman. Indiana Jones. Star Wars.

At first glance, they don't seem to have much in common... unless you want to tie them together by Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams being involved in at least two of the three. But in addition to that, all three have been captured in plastic building block playsets, and then had video games based on those.

Now, as rumor has it, another such franchise may be receiving the video game treatment: Harry Potter.

Putting on our detective hats we're going to take a guess that Warner will handle publishing honours even though EA has the rights to do the PC and console movie tie-ins. Warner published Lego Batman too, it's worth noting.

We've got no solid details on what form the game will take but an action-adventure type of romp taking its lead from the books (or movies) would be the safe bet. Expect lots of Hogwarts, and big fat Hagrid and a little boy with Lego hair then.

If we had to pin the tail on a release date... Well, there is a new movie out next year (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince if you need reminding). -- CVG

I could actually see Harry Potter working in this context; replace the use of the Force in Star Wars to manipulate the LEGO pieces, and the rest, if you'll pardon the expression, clicks into place.
