Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a computer and video game based on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix series by J.K. Rowling and the film adaptation.
The key theme of the game is to explore Hogwarts like never before as well as undertaking the missions from the book/movie with a few extras.
A press release made by EA Games on November 21, 2006 gave a first glimpse of the characters in Harry Potter with the Next Generation graphics as well as an idea of what the game will be like.

The game has been released for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and PC.[1]

Main article: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizard community is in denial about his encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Dolores Umbridge, an official from the Ministry of Magic, teaches courses in defensive magic, but this leaves the young wizards unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces that threaten them. Harry teaches other students in secret how to defend themselves.

[edit] Wii Version

The Wii version of this game was not available until July 21, 2007, in conjunction with the movie release, according to EA Games. The Wii version of the game is different from the other versions as you will need to use the Wii Remote to cast spells by waving it with the appropriate wrist movements to cast a spell correctly. EA hoped this would give the players using the Wii a more 'WIZARD FEELING'.

The following is a table detailing all the Wii Remote movements in the Wii version of the game.

Movement Spells Casted
Raising the remote and nunchuk Wingardium Leviosa and Levicorpus
Waving the remote clockwise Reparo and Expelliarmus
Waving the remote counterclockwise Reducto
Shaking the remote horizontally Petrificus Totalus, Incendio, and Expecto Patronum
Flicking the remote up Protego and Accio
Flicking the remote down Depulso and Rictusempra
Pushing the remote and nunchuk foward Stupefy

[edit] Music

The music featured in this game consists of some of the same tunes used in the previous games. This is the first video game that includes the song titled "Hedwig's Theme," the main theme in the Harry Potter films, for the producers were sold the rights to play the tune.

[edit] Goofs

  • In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film), Mr. Weasley asks Harry what the use of a rubber duck is. This meaning there is no rubber duck in the wizarding world. Yet, in the Prefect's Bathroom there is a rubber duck. There is a possibility, however, that it was left by a Prefect who was muggleborn.
  • In the American version, Ron mentions the Philosopher's Stone instead of the Sorcerer's Stone.
