First! Well, thats good news. But well have the video game before the movie AGAIN, which will ruin it more.

Bow_to_death...how can a the harry potter video game ruins the movie if you already now whats gonna happen from reading the book? theres no difference.

Cool, though Ill probably wait till later this year to get it. I dont think playing the game before watching the movie would completely ruin it, but it would show you how certain things will look in the movie, and the differences between the book and movie a bit more. Theres definitely a difference between reading something, and seeing that something happen. Anywhoo...Im looking forward to the mixing potions part. That should be fun, though I can see how some would find it boring. Im probably one of few people that found the ability to play chess an nice addition to the OotP game :)

This is kick ass. I cant wait. I prefer the game play a whole lot more in the first couple of HP games, but the blue prints for Hogwarts they used in game 5 is just amazingggg. I cant wait to se this one. But, after I see the film. x

Yayy! Im pumped, I love doing all that random stuff in the games! It sounds like the best so far. And the only game I have for PS3 is guitar hero.

oh wow hooked_on_Harry, Id be scared if I were you to be reading comments and news posts on Mugglenet lol, because there would be so much that would get spoiled since you havent finished reading the books! :( Oh but as for the video game... Im hoping it will be like OoTP, that was a good one. Lots of content and puzzles, very interesting. Oh, and I agree with you Ravenxl7, I found the chess and rearranging portraits and cleaning floors very interesting...... haha, maybe were weird but I love that type of stuff.

I really hope this game will be better than the GoF and OotP ones. GoF was just bad. I didnt like the setup. And OotP had good graphics and you could do cool random things, but... It wasnt hard at all. Not like the first three where you actually had to work and figure things out to get a new spell. In OotP they just... Told you the spell and how to do it. And half the game was finding the D.A. members. :P

adeline--obviously i wasnt clear on my comment. we were, after all, talking about the video games. I certainly meant that i hadnt finished playing the VIDEO games of GOF & OotP. I have certainly read ALL the books and have seen all the videos to date. I have read HBP & DH each in 2 days! I AM up-to-date!!!!! >:-p

Release on my birthday? Excellent. Lets hope that they stick to the storyline a little more this time.

Yeah... I am totally with DaphyGreengrass on this one. The last one was sorta off frrom the book... But hopefully this one can get back to the REAL storyline. But I will totally get this game. Sounds really fun, but it probaly will give some of the movie away. Althought, how much is left in the movie that hasnt been shown on the trailer???
