Games Radar has published a
new 3-page interview with Justin Manning, associate producer for the
Order of the Phoenix video game.
Quote:
What are the main set-pieces of the film you’re planning to concentrate on?
Manning: We are including all the main set-pieces from the film: Little Whinging and the Dementor attack, Grimmauld Place, Fred and George’s escape from Hogwarts and all the action at the Ministry of Magic. We are also including various missions around the Room of Requirement.

Will Goblet’s Harry, Ron and Hermione co-op be retained for Phoenix?
Manning: For Order of the Phoenix we are focusing our attention on making a great single-player game that addresses all of our fan and gamer feedback. We are also letting you play key missions during the game as other characters, including Fred and George, Sirius Black and Dumbledore.

Will the next-gen versions be pretty ports of the PS2 game? How are you incorporating the Wii-mote?
Manning: We have focused a lot of attention on PS2, because that’s where our main audience is. On the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, it’s more about a richer graphical experience. That said, the Wii version is looking fantastic. We have really cracked the gesture-based spell casting using the Wii Remote. For the first time, you can wave your wand for real.
