| | | UPDATED: New GoF videogame pictures! (spoilers)
New pictures from the 'Goblet of Fire' videogame have been released. They include shots of the trio and creatures featured in the game.
To see all the pictures (there are 11 in total), please visit IGN. Some concept art sketches are also included.

IGN also conducted an interview with the producer of the game, Justin Manning. Quote:
The storyline of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire videogame revolves around all the action of the film and the three main characters: Harry, Ron, and Hermione. This commences at the Quidditch World Cup campsite where the main characters must avoid the Death Eaters who are causing havoc at the campsite.
The Triwizard tournament is another main focus for the storyline of the game and we've focused our efforts towards adapting the key Triwizard events and making them as engaging, dramatic, and fun as they are in the movie.
Quote:
You will be able to play as Ron or Hermione in addition to Harry. Almost the entire game can also be played with three players cooperating to combine their magic and compete for rewards. You will confront new creatures including the Horntail Dragon, Erklings, Dugbogs, and Grindylows.
Quote:
Inevitably, Harry ages in the books and films, and we've translated this into our storyline and character development. One of the most striking elements is Harry's visual look. He looks and behaves like a teenager this year and wears casual clothes as well as his Triwizard outfits. The magic he performs this year is much bigger and more powerful than previous years.
Quote:
You can play through the almost the entire game cooperatively with two other friends combining your magic to create more powerful spells.
Quote:
Your spells will affect the world around you including the lighting in your surrounding environment and creating a stir of debris around you as you cast spells. You can defeat creatures in a variety of ways giving different rewards with a variety of magical jinxes.
Quote:
We employed a movie casting director to find great actors whose voices are very close in tone to the movie actors. The orchestral music will be dynamic depending on mood and situation making it less repetitive.
Quote:
You'll journey to the Quidditch World Cup Campsite, embark on a path through the Forbidden Forest, fly around Hogwarts, sneak under the Prefects' Bathroom, swim in the lake outside Hogwart's, explore the maze, and more!
UPDATED: Amazon now has the GoF game up for pre-order.

She is. Remember that photo with Harry, Hermione and Rita? She's wearing a grey jumper with a pinkish bit on it in that too. That photo can be seen here.
I'm more bothered by the fact that her hair's now straight, in the game LOL At least she's not blonde! Videogame!PoA!Hermione was blonde! *giggles*
And yes they are meant to look similar to the actors *whispers*: read previous article!* |

| The characters looks exactly like Harry and Hermione, but not like Ron. I think this videogame will be the best! I'm probably going to by this one! |

| I love it! This site is definately more up to date on all HP updates. Even more so than Google News or even the official HP website itself. Thanks for that bit of info! Hermione actually looks like Emma Watson. Great! |

Fifth | Wow! I thought the other games were good, especially the PoA one, especially compared to the CoS one, but geez, those graphics are incredible. They're as good as the ones from Chronicles of Riddick (it won best graphic award '04) Anyway, i'm glad to see the graphic improving. Though the third books my favorite, for a video game, this should be the best concept! And just to add to that, Harry and Hermione look fantastic, but what about Ron? They don't show him except in the trio pic, i don't know. Can't wait for it to come out! |
