Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Video Game
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.
Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron's romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.
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' film
based on J.K. Rowling's sixth book in the Harry Potter™ series.
In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players return to Hogwarts™ -
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's Potions
classroom in the depths of the dungeons and iconic locations in between such as the
Gryffindor™ common room and the Great Hall.
For the first time players can move and cast spells simultaneously, creating intense and fastpaced
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 Quidditch™ 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's romantic entanglements as they
journey towards the dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.
"We are very excited by the fact that fans will be able to use Nintendo's Wii Remote™ as their
wand," said Harvey Elliott, VP and GM Casual, EA Play Label. "Casting charms and jinxes -
Stupefy, Wingardium Leviosa, Accio and Petrificus Totalis among others - 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!"
