There are also challenges the player can complete to unlock new cutscenes and spells to use.

In2002, a sequel for LEGO Creator: Harry Potter was released, titledCreator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Again it is sandbox in style, focusing on exploring and customising the worlds (which now includes the Forbidden Forest, an expanded Diagon Alley, the eponymous Chamber of Secrets and completely remade settings). The player can still create their own custom models and minifigures, but with the added feature of being able to control and move them around in the game world. Challenges can be performed by collecting enoughChocolate Frogs, upon which unlocks more models, characters, and worlds.
