Mod GAME.DAT
As Miklo notes in the comments below, you can enable skipping the cutscenes using the cheat code of "N0CUT5" Note that the second character is a zero and the last character is a five. To enter a cheat code, pause the game, navigate to "Extras" and then "Enter Code"

If you would like to edit this option permanently into the game without needed to enter a cheat code, take the following steps:

  1. Download a hex editor if you don't have one (I happened to use HxD: https://mh-nexus.de/en/ )
  2. In the hex editor, open the GAME.DAT file from your \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\LEGO Harry Potter\ folder. (Make a backup of the file just in case)
  3. In the hex editor, search for:
    allowcutskip
  4. Type over the text
    ;allowcutskip off
    with
    allowcutskip on
  5. It is important that you just type over the existing text, starting with replacing the ";" with "a" and include the two spaces at the end -- you need to make sure you aren't adding or deleting characters, just overwriting.
    Here is the before:


    Here is the after:
  6. Save the file.
  7. After that just load the game and play it as you usually would, you'll just be able to skip the cutscenes.

actually, i figured it out. to anyone who has the same problem as me, just go into the steam properties for the game and verify the game files after deleting the .BAK file

@Miklo, hah, you have no idea how much time I spent trying to figure out an easy way of skipping the cut scenes. Thank you!

Thanks for this.... I haven't tried it, but if it works I'm actually annoyed at the developers now if it's this easy to enable >:(
