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.

Sweet! The characters look much more like the real people. I knew that one day games would have the characters as virtual real people looking exactly as if it's Dan and Emma (etc) on your screen in person casting spells and whatnot! With every HP game, my prediction becomes more real! Ha ha! I love when I call it!
PS: Excited!

They all look better in the video game than they do in the movie. Except for Snape. He's much better looking in the flesh.

It's kind of creepy how alike they look, and the fact that they have the capabilities to make them so alike to the actors. Sounds like a cool game, with some great graphics.

I'm really impressed with the graphics--they got Hermione, Ron and Snape down perfectly. It's difficult to tell with Harry--he looks kind of strange. And so glad to see he has crappy hair in the video game, too...I am looking forward to the game so if I don't like the film, at least I'll have that to fall back on.

Yep, I'm pretty obsessed with the books, the movies -
but my obsession stops just shy of the video games. :) But I do hope they are great for those that love them!

I can't wait for this game. I was kinda disappointed with the GoF game. Well, a lot, really, and hopefully this one will be more like the PoA game where you could roam the castle on a whim.

Wow! They look more and more realistic in every game!
Um, not Game Cube? Hmmm, I guess I'll get it for the computer then..
I hope the game is more like the PoA game than the GoF game, personally- I like free roaming the grounds more than actually fighting and stuff.

Excellent-looking graphics. They get better with every game! I hope the game is a little more challenging this time around though; the past games have been pretty easy to beat because they're designed for younger players.
