News: Harry Potters Onto Cube and DS

Harry Potter is about to star in his fifth game, to co-inside with his forth book. Harry Potter fans rejoice, everyone else roll their eyes.

Players are once again put in control of Harry Potter and his friends in this new game, based upon the upcoming book by J.K. Rowling. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fifth Harry Potter videogame we have created, and we are incredibly excited with the fresh innovations that the team has brought to the game,” said Harvey Elliott, Executive Producer at EAUK. “With high anticipation for the film and our strong relationship with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, we have been able to develop a game that complements the film in this exciting addition to the Harry Potter franchise.”

“Working with EA, we look forward to offering players a highly developed Harry Potter game with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game will possess the extremely creative aspects of the Harry Potter world captured in both the film and the book, giving fans a complete interactive experience.”

Harry, Ron, and Hermione will all be playable in this title and each one is modelled after their on-screen counterparts. EA have also decided to make it so that every time someone casts some magic the controller rumbles, so you can "feel the magic." Players will also be able to team up with friends and engage in a co-operative play mode.

The plot of the game involves Harry being mysteriously selected as the fourth competitor in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament. This tournament is no piece-of-cake either, each competitor must confront a fire-breathing dragon, rescue friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake, and navigate the twisting mysteries of a vast, dangerous maze. As well as this players will be able to visit the Quidditch World Cup campsite and even duel with Lord Voldemort.

The game is due out on the GameCube and DS, but no date has been set yet.
