Game Description

The boy who lived is another movie hero whose video game adventures never seem to have matched up to the quality of his films (or books).

Rather than simply repeat the predictable third person action of previous games though this is something a bit different. Its almost a sort of Grand Theft Auto: Hogwarts (or a variation on The Simpsons: Hit & Run for those that are too young to know about Rockstars naughty blockbusters). What this means in practical terms is that youve got almost the whole of Hogwarts school to explore from the off with different missions of varying degrees of importance available from different locations. You now control only Harry with Hermione or Ron reduced to supporting roles although there are some short sections where you can play as Fred and George Weasley instead. The re-focus on Harry is a result of the sheer number of magical spells available to him now from standard offensive and defensive magic to summons and levitation spells that help you uncover and unlock the hidden secret of Hogwarts.

Casting spells isnt as simple as just pressing a button though as youre made to actually trace out a magical symbol using the controller (something that works particularly well on the Wii) which adds greatly to the sense of immersion. Theres also a range of similarly controlled mini-games including wizard chess and gobstones which you can play either in or out of the game. Its all a vast improvement on the previous titles with similarly superior graphics and a general air of effort not usually associated with film tie-ins. Harrison Dent In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community is in denial about the teenagers recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort preferring to turn a blind eye to the news that Voldemort has returned. Fearing that Hogwarts venerable Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is lying about Voldemorts return in order to undermine his power and take his job the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students.

But Professor Dolores Umbridges Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves Dumbledores Army Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.With the ability to play multiple characters including Harry Potter Dumbledore and Sirius Black the videogame of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix offers fans the opportunity to wield a wand explore all around Hogwarts and experience one of the most exciting and dangerous years in the life of the Boy Who Lived..
