EA announces HBP video game in development
EA announces HBP video game in development UPDATE: PocketGamer.co.uk received a sneak peak at the Nintendo DS version of the game and their review is here!

Electronic Arts, makers of every Potter video game to date, has announced that production of Half-Blood Prince is underway. The release will coincide with the release of the film, and EA is thrilled about this next installment:

“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.”

The game is scheduled to be released on Wii, PS2, PS3, PC, MAC, X360, DS, and mobile devices. Thanks to Jamie for the tip, and we'll update you with more information in the coming months! For more information on the other Potter video games, click here.

WhatEVER. They're all the same: badly plotted and too short.

I too hope they make it for PSP. That's all I have...either that or it really will be time to get a new computer......I'm still running windows 98 on the desktop computer and the laptop doesn't have anymore memory!!! It would be a very expensive game if I have to buy the computer game AND a new computer!!! But hey, i'm sure i'll get the pc game for the new computer I might get someday!! The good news is......we only have 7 more months to wait. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!


Posted by i_loverz_HP Apr 24th 2008

yesss KaitlinM i think i did...wait did i? where am i...oh shooooot


Posted by Encyclopedia_Here_We_Come Apr 24th 2008

This is going to be a great game. All I have to say is i hope that they don't make it like GOF. I mean siriusly TRIWIZARD SHIELDS. They should make more like 1, 2 and, 3. They also better have quidditch because quidditch is so much fun.

I really enjoy the HP games, and look forward to them as much as the movies. I like them all, but I think the COS game is a true classic. The last one, POA, was not bad either.

Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 26th 2008

Just go and check out my livejournal, folks. You can see phoenixknight for who he is. He is far worse than I am in terms of hate or racism. And he's a Christian! LOL http://anyamarcos. livejou rnal.com/7647.html


Posted by i_loverz_HP Apr 26th 2008

hmmmmm good question but i think im on crack??? well anyways once you figure that out let me know. thanksssssssssss


Posted by phoenix_knight Apr 27th 2008

HEY KAITLIN AND GRANGER ARE YOU THERE??? PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NUISANCE ANYAMARCOS, SHE'S BACK TO START ANTAGONIZING PPL ON MUGGLENET. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER! AND FYI ANYA, I'M NOT A CHRISTIAN ANYMORE, I'M A CULTURAL CREATIVE. AND YOU'RE STILL AN ATHEIST SO STFU! QUIT SEEKING ATTENTION BY POSTING YOUR LIVEJOURNAL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. YOU STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE PAST. YOU'VE BEEN BOTHERING ME SINCE LAST YEAR APRIL! AND I'VE BEEN IGNORING YOU, AND STILL YOU DON'T GET IT! GET A LIFE! AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER, AND AWAY FROM YOUR REDNECK RANCH! AND AS FOR YOU i_loverz_HP, I GOT 2 WORDS FOR YOU.... fudge YOU!


Posted by KaitlinM Apr 28th 2008

listen, it is NOT my job to police mugglenet or anything. if u feel someones making abusive comments, then u can report them . i just want the hostillity to stop from ALL sides.


Posted by phoenix_knight Apr 28th 2008

ok, then HOW DO YOU REPORT IT??? CUZ I'VE BEEN REPORTING ON ANYAMARCOS FOR MONTHS! AND MUGGLENET ISN'T DOING A darn THING ABOUT IT! THEY WERE QUICK TO DELETE THE CHEESECAKIANS AND ARI, MARIE, AND DANNY, BUT NOT ANYA. I THINK MUGGLENET MUST LIKE ANYAMARCOS AND HER RACIST COMMENTS TOWARDS MINORITIES, BECAUSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH... ANYAMARCOS IS ALOT WORSE THAN THE CHEESCAKIANS! AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF READING HER FILTH FOR OVER A FREAKIN' YEAR!


Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 28th 2008

Phoenix_knight, every time that I have stopped posting, you start the fight again. And why do you have an underscore in your name, now? Did you get banned, too? You're the one who came to my livejournal and started it up again, don't lie about it. And now I see that you've gotten into trouble again, and I wasn't even involved this time. You're just a bad kid. Your parents raised you badly, they spoiled you, and now you are just a horrible young man.

Quotes
Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister of Magic, and have twelve children.

Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26, Page 582
