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.

How wonderful, they all look like the real people. I don't have any of the games or anything to play them on so I'll just have to be content with the books and the movies. Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Well, as exciting as it sounds (and I know it's going to be), I'm not planning to buy it. I'm just really avoiding Video Games while at school - and if any game can make me addicted it is Harry Potter.

Excellent. This means I've really got to beat the fourth game then, I suppose. That is really really fun, but I must say, I don't care for the Skrewts much.
I love how I think that the game version of Harry is hott. haha it's great.

It's amazing to me how realistic the images look. I think Harry is the least like Dan, but Emma and Rupert are very much a similar likeness. Same with Alan.

Harry, Snape, and Ron characters in the game look exactly identical to what they really look like. But Hermonie doesn't really look like that, something in her face. Anywayz, the movie doesnt come out till July and their already talking video games, 10 steps ahead huh...
