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.

They do look good. But I think it needed a bit more color. I might be too scare to play this at night. Look abit scary since everything look so dark. Even the characters look a bit pale like if they die and are walking zombies. Other than the color, the graphics are great.

Oh great. I hope it's better than GoF. I didn't think GoF was that good. But the detail and graphics are pretty good as far as I can tell.

That's cool, they look good as! I liked the Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban game the best, because the characters were easier to control. I liked the 4th game, but i coodn't control the characters as well!

I can't wait for this. The characters looked so much more detailed, so much more life-like than ever before. They really seem to bbe capturing the true Hogwarts, and not giving us a generic version of it as before they have. No, this time they are really giving us Hogwarts, top to bottom. Again, can't wait!

THAT's Exciting! I don't have any of those gaming systems ( I know if I did that my life would flash quickly by with nothing done and my existence attributed to the video game world of which I would be a morbid victim )... but hey, I'm REALLY wanting to play these HP games... I just might go out and get hooked up. What the heck, it'll be worth it!

Yeah! I'm getting my son a PSP for Christmas. So I can get the game for Mommy! I love getting Mommy games! SO, much fun!
I wonder if they'll do like they did for Star Wars III and release the game a week prior to the movie?
