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.

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.

So realistic! I'm stunned! I was expecting something good, but not as good as this! Really, the detail, not just of the characters but also of the sceneries! However, this time i hope the games on the consoles are a bit more difficult and long as well, i remember that, for an example, the most easy level on the chamber of the secrets, was the final level, the basilisk (and wasn't it supposed to be the most difficult level?) and I only took three days to complete the prisioner of azkaban (both of them on xbox, because the PC games are totaly different, and much better as well). Oh well, until the game comes out i'll start to bug my parents so i can convince them to buy me the game once it comes out.

I hope this game is better than the last two...
They weren't very good at all, I like the first two games the best.

Oo it looks like a very awesome game! I love the new pics! Snape looks a bit..chubby in that pic of him though.
But i guess they did that on purpose.

The graphics look excellent, but it's all about the game play. We really enjoyed being able to play 2 players at a time with the GoF game. I hope that option still exists with this one - and it would be great to explore Hogwarts!

I've seen that pic of Snape like four times already today and I just realized it's not Alan Rickman. That's good graphics. Or I'm just really really slow.

Those shots look great. Yep, Hermione and Snape look very much like their real counterparts.
And I don't have any of the game platforms *sad face*
Guess that means I can only go for the PC version.

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.
