Harry Potter OotP game cover

Game box

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a video game based on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix book by J. K. Rowling and the film adaptation.
The key theme of the game is to explore Hogwarts like never before as well as undertake the missions from the book/movie.
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.

It is the first Harry Potter game to feature open exploration of Hogwarts.

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

Plot

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 was not available until July 21st, 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 forward Stupefy

Music

The music featured in this game consists of some of the same tunes used in the previous games plus an entirely new, original score composed by James Hannigan. 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.

Behind the scenes

  • In the American DS version, the second year Ravenclaw by the Hospital Wing who you have to win the Gobstone from is wearing a red and gold tie made for Gryffindor.
  • Lavender Brown is not even mentioned at any point in the game, although there are supposedly 28 DA members just like in the book. However, after telling the Patil twins to meet in the Room of Requirement, the number of members in the room goes up by three, suggesting that they tell Lavender, although this is not mentioned in the game script.
  • The duel between Harry and the Inquisitorial Squad after Dumbledore's Army is discovered (the duel in the Room of Requirement) is the only duel in the game that cannot be won. Later in the game, the duel between Harry, Sirius, Lucius and Bellatrix can be won, but that doesn't alter the storyline; Sirius is cursed by Bellatrix after the duel regardless.
  • In the PC version, you can lose most of the battles with the Inquisitorial Squad and the game will continue. When you are playing as Dumbledore dueling against Lord Voldemort, you can not lose. If you allow yourself to get hit by every spell, Dumbledore doesn't lose the duel, but nothing happens. The only way to finish the duel is to hit Voldemort with your spells until he is defeated. Apparently, Dumbledore is undefeatable.
  • The only areas that are inncacessable in the game are the quidditch stadium, the divination classroom (you can get to the tower and the door, but you can't enter), the Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff common rooms (you can go down a staircase in the dungeons that leads to the Slytherin common room, but it stops abruptly at the bottom. This is probably the entrance, but you can't get the password), the kitchens, most of the Forbidden Forest, the lake (it can be seen, but you can't go right up to it or in it), Dumbledore's office (it is only seen in cutscenes), the chamber of secrets (you can open the entrance in the bathroom, however) and the chambers where the sorcerors stone was held in the first one.
