If you want to get the hidden LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 characters quickly and that's all you care about, then you'll be best off forgetting about the True Wizard, Red Bricks or the unlockable characters you can earn. Basically ditch everything else and instead focus on finding all the hidden characters as you play though, and worry about that other stuff in a later playthrough. 

Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 characters Year One

1.1 – The Magic Begins


Mr. Ollivander – Inside of the bank, once you open the first gate with Griphook look to the left. There is a chest here that you must use a Reducto spell to open.


Tom the Innkeeper – From there head the opposite direction to find another Reducto locked chest.

Ron (Girl Disguise) – On a free play of the level use Hermoine’s book to open the bureau to the left of the starting point.


Harry (Hogwarts) – Down the hallway from the bathroom is a silver lock on a writing desk. Blast it open to reach Harry.

Madam Malkin – Once you spawn into the bathroom go straight to the left to find a silver lock on a locker. Blow the lock then open it up to find Madam Malkin.
