==Gameplay==
 
 
===Wii===
 
The game will utilise the Wii Remote features as it did in the ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' video game.<ref name=IGN>IGN. [http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/868/868508p1.html/ EA Announces Half-Blood Prince] ''IGN''. Accessed April 23, 2008.</ref>. But unlike the previous game, players can now also use the motion sensing and vibration features to brew [[potions]]. [[Potion]] brewing involves following a complex recipe one step at a time. The steps include picking up vials of liquid, shaking them (by shaking the Wii Remote) until they froth, and tipping the Wii Remote to pour it into the mixture, being very careful not to pour in too much. Another possible step is stirring the mixture with the Wii Remote until it changes color. If it starts vibrating, that is the sign to move away before it blows up.<ref name=videogamer>videogamer.com.

[[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] can duel against [[Draco Malfoy]] in a Duelling Room with a long platform, similar to the one seen in the [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets|second film]], but wider to allow dodging of spells. Moving in order to dodge is done with the Nunchuk Control Stick, while casting spells is done with Wii Remote and Nunchuk gestures. Combat spells currently implemented include a shield spell (likely "Protego") cast by crossing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, a standard attack spell by striking downwards with the Wii Remote, a charged version by holding the Wii Remote up for longer first, and a more powerful attack spell by swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to the left.<ref name=videogamer>videogamer.com.
