I am a rather large Harry Potter fan (a little sad for someone my age… but who cares?), as seen on my personal blog, yet I have never played a Harry Potter game, however based upon the new video for the game of the 5th book this may well change.

The game looks like it will follow the story very closely, with the setting pulled directly from the film (due to be released to cinemas in July). All the characters are clearly related to their film based counterparts.

I think my excitement may be linked to the imminent release of the final book in the series (also in July) but right now don’t care - this looks cool.

Anyone else thought the “battle scene” was a little Starwars’esque, including the music? I was waiting for the Jar Jar equivalent to pop up. Anyway.

:) It is rather Star Wars like isn’t it? The same composer (John Williams) scored both movie series (at least he did the early potter films) and I thought a number of times that they sounded very Star Wars like.

Who cares that they sound like Star Wars. The sheer majesty and excitement of the music lends itself beautifully to the battle and the darkness. I love it and I’m 57 years old!!!!!!

I agree entirely. I don’t think Nic was saying that it was a bad thing - just that they are similar. Personally I think Star Wars is great!

Here’s hoping the game lives up to the trailer
