I never played the Harry Potter version, and I have no intention of doing so (do not get me started on all the things wrong with Harry Potter), I did play LEGO Batman. It wasn't that good, definitely not among the tops of the LEGO series.

LEGO Lord of the Rings and LEGO Star Wars (specifically, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy) are the two LEGO games that I really enjoyed. It's worth giving either of those games a try, if you can find a store doing a demo of it, or a friend who has it.

I'm also a big fan of Battle for Middle Earth (though I hate that BFME II took away unit combos), and War in the North (no mention of that one, Psy?) was pretty good too. Lord of the Rings online was gloriously atmospheric, but I think it was let down by its mechanics.
