Does anyone know yet what the format will be for the new game?
I loved it when you could run around Hogwarts collecting things and was hugely dissapointed with ' The goblet of fire' where you just had to complete challenges.
I don't want to waste my money this time, or at least won't be the first one to the shops the morning it's released.
Any links to screen shots etc. would be appreciated.

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 teenager's 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 Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's 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 "Dumbledore's 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.
Hurrah!!!
Looks like you'll be able to explore hogwarts again.
Got a query for you, from a different post, so its a bit off tangent...
Can a headboy in the UK also be a prefect?
My school didn't have kids doing both, you did one or the other?
But I'm not sure how it works in the rest of the UK - any ideas? _________________ Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

As far as I know no, because the headboy/girl is basiclly the head prefect as well as representing the school.
As I was neither and wasn't interested in them at the time, I could be wrong
On IGN they said it'll be a GTA format which sounds cool like free roaming and choosable missions. Looks like i may get this but for what format... Wii... PS2... DS... or PSP.... ?
Probably Wii as you literally like do the movement when you cast your spell!
Yes I liked the other games but when I rented the fourth one i was like wtf.... It changed a considerable amount from the others. It wasn't anything like them at all. I hope they dont make the 5th one like the goblet of fire or I will be really disappointed. And the release date is June 25th. And I just looked at Gamespot and it looks like a really good game.
If you dont have a 360 just goto the search box and put in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and select between Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, PS2, Xbox. _________________
But author does offer a few suggestions for 'Order of the Phoenix' game.
Chris Roberts can't believe what J.K. Rowling let him do.
Sure, he's a video game designer and he's overseeing the development of Electronic Arts' "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" video game. Yes, he has the key Potter spells committed to memory.
But she's J. K. Rowling. She invented Harry. And yet when the EA team working on the game in London wanted to give players the ability to play wizard games like Gobstones and Exploding Snap, she did more than just say, "OK."
Rowling's books mentioned the games but didn't spell out exactly how Harry and friends play them. Roberts and team dreamed something up. "We wrote the rules up for all these games, sent them off to J. K. Rowling, and she went, 'Yeah, OK, those are the rules,' " he told MTV News during a visit to EA UK's Guildford, England, studio just outside of London. "It's kind of cool. We got to make all the rules."
Roberts is the game designer on the sixth EA "Potter" game, the fifth based on Rowling's books and associated movies (the other game was all about the Harry Potter sport of Quidditch). At this point, Rowling has some confidence in the developers. But they can't get away with everything. "She has written documents for us, explaining how certain things work, why you shouldn't do certain things that we're not supposed to say because they're secret," Roberts said.
And she has put her foot down when need be. Roberts and the team came up with a mission in the game that would have Harry's classmate Neville Longbottom sabotaging a clock tower to get back at Hogwarts professor Dolores Umbridge. "We got this feedback from her saying, 'I really like the mission, but I don't think Neville would do that. I think it would be Dean Thomas. He's much more likely to do it.' " They switched the mission to Dean.
The developers at EA UK have worked on "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" for a year and a half. Their proudest achievement, the one mentioned repeatedly during MTV News' visit, is the game's re-creation of the Hogwarts school. "The challenge the previous games had was it had a castle but it was kind of empty," Roberts said. "So what we've tried to do is fill it full of stuff the player can do. So, it's a school — we made sure it was full of students that you can chat with — and then it's just chock-a-block full of secrets and things you can discover. And we've tied that all into the gameplay, so you can power yourself up by discovering secrets."
And Hogwarts has all the small details, Potter fans. Creative Director Matt Birch mentioned that there are umbrellas in the Hogwarts viaduct entrance. Why? Because they are mentioned in "The Prisoner of Azkaban."
Feedback from anyone associated with the world of Harry Potter is appreciated at EA UK. The film's actors came by to have their faces rendered for the game. Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood, hung out and talked to Birch for two hours about theories regarding the end of the series. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, visited, but his influence was less welcome. "We played Wii bowling," Roberts said. "He kicked my ass, which is slightly disappointing because I thought I was good."
The development team has explored the movie sets for "Order of the Phoenix." The guys have poured in their deep knowledge of Harry and friends. Is it enough? Asked what makes this Potter game special, the developers repeatedly point to their virtual Hogwarts and the quality of the actors' faces in the game. Gamers can check if those are the magic ingredients when the game ships for all major game consoles on Tuesday. _________________
I played the new game, after 30 minutes I uninstalled it and will never play it again.... it was horrible. You do nothing but run around and clean things up with like 3 battles.
Check out a few video game review sites like gamespot.com and read the horrible ratings for yourself.
The best game so far was the goblet of fire, and even that one was not very good. Its a common thing to take a big name like Harry Potter and sell a product modeled after it and generate alot of sales for a total piece of crap.
So dont be one of the ones fooled out of your money unless your buying this for a 7yr old. _________________
