Here's the first pic of the new game

Looks like it'll be a bit of the same old crap, brand new day.

EA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price video game will be released later this year to coincide with the upcoming film based on the sixth Harry Potter book by J.K. Rowling.

“We believe that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game represents a milestone in the movie tie-in genre,” said Harvey Elliott, Head of EA Bright Light studio in the UK where the Harry Potter franchise has its home. “Building on the technological advancements of previous games in the series and with a particular focus on the unique control system of Nintendo’s WiiTM, the team here is working closely with the filmmakers to create an immersive interactive experience that captures the story, the action, the excitement and, above all, the fun of the film.”

“Working with EA, we look forward to offering fans a compelling Harry Potter video game, one which captures the thrilling storyline and high visual quality of the movie,” said Scott Johnson, Vice President, Business Development for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The adherence to the rich fiction is a trademark of this franchise and with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fans will experience the most authentic and enjoyable game in the series to date.”

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron’s romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price will be released on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year.
 
I can't believe i made a typo on the thread title. Mods could you change that for me.
 
Personally, I thought the "Order of the Phoenix" game was rather good. If this one is anything like that, I'll be happy.

I liked OOTP up untill the glitch where it wouldn't give me new objectives so I couldn't finish the game.


Plus I played the demo for the PS3 version. Seemed to be identical to the PS2 version.
 
This is actually the type of game that shines on Wii moreso than other next-gen consoles, because using Wiimote as the magic wand is pure genius and really makes you feel like a wizard in the Potter universe.
 
So I think this game is finished already and they're all just sitting in some warehouse until July.

I doubt there's one for XBOX Live yet. The PS3 doesn't even have one yet.
