| | |  Half-Blood Prince Wii video game preview
Kotaku got a preview of the Half-Blood Prince Nintendo Wii video game, which will be released this November alongside the sixth film, and described some of the sequences that will be integral parts of the game.
One of the segments included a potions-making simulation: Quote:
[You've] got a bubbling cauldron and a desk full of ingredients like little vials, bottles, leeches and caterpillars, and symbol-based instructions for each step of the potion-making scroll up in a little wheel to the screen's right. A potion-making sim was a first for me, and I exploded the thing a few times, but it was mostly pretty fun, especially when you can tilt the Wii remote to spill a beaker's contents into the cauldron and then make a stirring motion to whirl it up until the color changes. It's all timed and ranks your precision, which was pretty fun.
The reporter and game's executive producer Jonathan Bunney got a chance to engage in a wand duel between Harry and Draco: Quote:
He was playing Draco Malfoy and I was Harry. We faced off at either end of a long room, and you hold up the Wii remote to charge your wand for a powerful attack (leaving you undefended), or simply shake the remote in your opponent's direction to fire off a series of quick bursts.
You use the Nunchuk to move side to side, and swinging both Wii remote and Nunchuk across your body causes you to produce a deflection shield that can send your opponent's projectiles right back at him. Shaking both produces a special attack that can knock your opponent down or stun him.

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

Wii gamesystems are getting a little cheaper, well - here in the US at least. Anyways, the games sounds awesome, with lots of "moves" to learn

Excellent! I can't believe it's going to have 2-player attributes.
I have high hopes it's going to be as awesome as it sounds.
