Agree with vexed alex, thought that when seen gameplay video. Not that I'll be getting it, my little sister probably will
EA once again making crappy shovelware CONFIRMED.

I once heard someone say they were glad he was dead after they found out he was gay. That makes me sad...

I remember I loved the first three HP games, but back then I was around ten years old, so it's acceptable. That said, once I hit the Goblet of Fire game, I was just... Ugh.
I hated it. I honestly don't know what they were going for, but that was an *awful* game. I never even finished it. But I do remember it being horribly disconnected and a complete mess to try and play. That was a few years ago though, might go back and see if I see it any differently now, although I doubt it.

The Order of the Phoenix got the exploration side of the game right, so if they can actually now fill the school with interesting things to do, I'm set. Also looks like Quidditch might be available to play again from the screens, so that's a massive +1 for me.
I'm curiously optimistic. Don't let me down now, EA.

Presumably, the gameplay footage in the video is from the Wii version (I say that because it's at a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of 16:9). If so, it's impressive for a Wii game. If not, it's pretty ugly for a PS3/360 game.
OotP wasn't bad, just... empty. Other than the main story there was absolutely nothing to do, and no real incentive to explore the castle. And considering how mysterious Hogwarts is, we shouldn't want anything but exploration. It's a shame that there don't seem to be too many RPG-elements in the game (could you imagine how great it would be to take on quests from other students?) though. EA should take a leaf out of Persona 4's book and let us build our own social standings at the school over the course of an in-game year.
just like slique said, the last game wasn't too bad, definitely a good rental! And this one will probably be the same.
I agree with Cough and UNCANNY VALLEY CONFIRMED
Why don't they go back to the more interesting, colorful, stylized graphics of the Chamber of Secrets? Yes yes that's the Wii's current theme, but for serious.. this is creepy.

I don't know, but it seems like all this "open exploration" of the castle is going to lead to a lot of running back and forth and getting lost between missions. Still, for fans it should be a decent experience for a movie based game since they seem to be infusing a good mix of story and gameplay to keep it moving.
The last one wasn't actually that bad. The games and films always make me want to read the books though.

I know exactly what you mean. It took my missus ages to make me read them and I'm so glad she persisted, I don't think I'll ever outgrow them!
