In August HPANA reported from a visit to EA Games in the UK. The report covered a review of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix video game under development and now the good folks from EA have sent us four screenshots of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Prof. Snape.
According to the press release
:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the first in the franchise that we have developed for the next generation consoles," said Harvey Elliott, Executive Producer at EA UK. "Together with current generation versions, we are creating an immersive and, above all, faithful Harry Potter experience that will both accurately reflect the world showcased in the film and also delight fans of all ages."
"Working with EA, we look forward to offering fans the most authentic Harry Potter game to date, one which captures the compelling story of the fiction and high visual quality of the movie," said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "After reading the book and seeing the film, fans will be able to take advantage of the complete interactive experience with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix game."
The close and synergistic relationship between book, film and videogame is more defined in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix videogame than ever before. Players will be able to explore the many key locations within Hogwarts in minute detail, each one a visual match to its film equivalent, while being engrossed in the thrilling adventures outlined in the rich narrative of the book.
The game will be released in the following formats: Nintendo Wii™, PlayStation®3, Xbox 360™, PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), Nintendo DS™, Game Boy® Advance, and Windows PC in July 2007.

This looks like it is going to be the best HP game to date. I really can't wait to get my hands on it. It really sucks that the game won't be released for the original XBox, I hope they change that.

They look really cool. They look so much like their characters. Snape looks really cool. I just have to decide if I want to get Nintendo Wii or X Box 360.

I love seeing the screen shots. As Dan said of the GoF game last year on TRL -- "not a good look for me."

In all honesty I have never really wanted any of this, however, with Harry Potter and all that is going in to improving the experience I may just have to look into this.

I really hope that they listened to all the fans on this one. It sounds like they did. I was really disappointed in the GOF game for the total lack of classroom time and school environment feel. It felt as if you were wondering aimlessly through something that resembled Hogwarts, but could have been someplace else.

Whoa. Those characters are freakin life like. That's a little creepy, actually. I'm not a huge fan of video games in general so this isn't really big news for me, I suppose it's quite a rush for the gamers out there. Enjoy, guys!
