Guildford, UK \u2013 June 30, 2009<\/strong> \u2013 The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince videogame will be available in stores across the globe this week. Available on multiple platforms, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince videogame allows players to experience all the magic, adventure and fun of the Warner Bros. Pictures\u2019 film based on J.K. Rowling\u2019s sixth book in the Harry PotterTM series.<\/p>\n

In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players return to HogwartsTM \u2013 reproduced from movie blueprints in exacting detail – to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. Players will be able to master gesture-based spell-casting as they explore the Hogwarts school grounds, from the heights of the Astronomy Tower to Professor Slughorn\u2019s Potions classroom in the depths of the dungeons and iconic locations in between such as the GryffindorTM common room and the Great Hall.<\/p>\n

For the first time players can move and cast spells simultaneously, creating intense and fast-paced wizard duels as the champions from each house line up to challenge the Boy Who Lived. Players can also chase down the Golden SnitchTM as they take to the air as the Seeker on the Gryffindor QuidditchTM team. In addition to spell-casting and flying, players can put their potion-mixing skills to the test when they learn how to mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron\u2019s romantic entanglements as they journey towards the dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited by the fact that fans will be able to use Nintendo\u2019s Wii RemoteTM as their wands,\u201d said Harvey Elliott, VP and GM Casual, EA Play Label. \u201cCasting charms and jinxes \u2013 Stupefy, Wingardium Leviosa, Accio and Petrificus Totalis among others \u2013 has never been easier or more realistic. This is definitely the most authentic translation from the movies and fiction that we have ever produced; the fans are going to love it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Developed by EA Bright Light, the team behind the worldwide success of the Harry Potter library of videogames, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is rated PEGI 12+ and is released on July 3rd for the Wii, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and mobile devices. <\/p>\n
