Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (game)

Plot

For a complete synopsis see 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.

Wii Version

The Wii version of this game will not be available until July 21, 2007, in conjunction with the movie release, according to EB 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. Eg. Wingardium Leviosa; Swish and flick the remote. EA hopes this will give the players using the Wii a more 'WIZARD FEELING'.
