After the world-wide success of the Harry Potter library of games, Electronic Arts (EA) has announced an addition to the series with "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" for all next generation gaming consoles.
The game presently under development at EA's UK studio was announced in collaboration with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.
Talking about the new Harry Potter game, Harvey Elliott, Executive Producer of EA UK, said, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the first in the franchise that we have developed for next generation consoles. 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."
Adding to it, Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, said, "Working with EA, we look forward to offering fans the most authentic Harry Potter game till date, one which captures the compelling story of the fiction and the high visual quality of the movie."
The "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" videogame, according to EA, defines the close and synergistic relationship between book, film, and videogame better than ever before.
In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the boy wizard returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts, and discovers that much of the wizarding community is in denial about the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort.
Fearing it to be a lie, Harry meets secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army." He teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, and prepares them for the extraordinary battle ahead.
In this new game, players will be able to explore many key locations within Hogwarts in minute detail, and experience one of the most exciting and dangerous years in the life of Harry Potter.
Each location in the book has its visual equivalent in the film, complete with thrilling adventures that are outlined in the book s narrative. Moreover, the game gives players the ability to play multiple characters, including Harry Potter, Dumbledore, and Sirius Black.
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is scheduled for release in July 2007 for Nintendo Wii and DS, PSP (PlayStationPortable), PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Game Boy Advance, and Windows PC.
The release would coincide with the Warner Bros Pictures film based on J K Rowling's fifth book of the same title.

I Hope it s not set up like the Harry potter and the goblet of fire games. I very much enjoyed playing the Chamber of Secrets and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I do not play any games at all. My fiance had bought them and I got sucked into those games and I ended up buying the Goblet of fire and was so dissapointed that I never played it again.

I agree with Constance. I was so addicted to the first 3 Harry Potter games, but I hated Goblet of Fire.
