It appears that a site broke embargo at GDC during an IRC session, using an anonymous nickname "Raid" to leak the details of an upcoming Harry Potter game for the Wii which will use a clip-on Microphone attachment. So what's the big deal? Spoken spellcasting with Wiimote "wand gestures" could be a killer app, not to mention lots of fun for apprenticing little magicians from the J.K. Rowling cult. Visually speaking, the source says the game is similar to Ico. That's enough to get me excited, Seaman microphones or not.
Here's the full log file of the chat with all the naughty details. Hopefully it will be due out before Q4 so we can actually have a Wii game this summer to look forward to.

Contest:
My girlfriend would be interested in the game, though.
So does the Mic communicate to the Wii or to the Wiimote?
Also halfway down he mentions that T and M rated games don't use the friend code system isn't this bigger news or did I miss that announcement?
Raid? seriously? they're leaking information and they used the raid?
SOMEBODY's out of the loop
"y raid se iso pasar como que estubo en el EA keynote y empeso a decir fake info y la gente se lo creia hahaha"
Which means that raid acted as if he was at the EA keynote and started spewing off fake info and everyone believed him. Why am I the only one noticing this?
...Anybody who thinks that img is photoshopped, it's not: it's Harry Potter in some play called Equus, where he stabs out horses' eyes or something.
Think how hard it would be for it to detect Wingardium leviosaa
As far as it looking like Ico though, that'd be cool
