Harry looks menacing!

Great.
Can't wait to try it out!

That looks amazing! :D

harry looks good!
can't wait for the game and movie

Sounsa great! Can't wait to try it myself! ^^

wow,thats looks very cool ! can't wait to play it!yaaaayy

can I be honest here?
The game looks great, but that pic of Daniel looks horrible. He looks almost pig-like. They could have chosen a better picture, or take it old school and show the actual video-game character.

But JMHO, I'll still be buying the game. Hopefully there won't be any DA members to find this time.

^ He does sort of resemble a bird :lol:

if you're complaining about that photo, you should see the others for them stickerbooks and stuff. trust me if you've seen those, you'd appreciate this one :D

It looks like it's going to be great. Though, I agree that the cover isn't all that. But there are worse.

So is that how the cave will look like then ... ?
Gosh, I just want a trailer. :D

Lmao, yes I've seen those too. The production pictures this year are just horrible. Almost everyone's face is SUPER photoshopped. Sometimes it looks like Dan is a wax figure.

I wish I played video games! Maybe that should be my new hobby...lol

Looks good but not exellent

That cover is amazing!

cool

i read about the game but it didnt show you the cover, at least this cover doesnt make Harrys nose look big lol

I think I might get this game. I usually don't get the games, but this one looks good.

awesome ireally want to get this game

oh the video game sounds awesome, i think ill get it even though im not that into video games....but i dont think this is my favorite cover:/

really want the game! =]
<3

Awesome.. i love the video game's :)
The best i've played out of the HP series, is the Ootp, and I'm sure the HBP will be good to.

cool im so getting it

it looks amazing!!!!

Just asking, did you guys like the Order of the Phoenix videogame?

While the design of the game was breathtaking (I mean the castle was flawless!), the actual tasks were .. boring and you never really lost the game ..

My personal favorite game was CoS. It wasn't design perfect, but it was really a fun game. I loved that you actually had to go on a quest for spell books.. instead of Hermione knowing everything and teaching it to you in two seconds.

Just wondering if anyone thinks the same?

Cover is okay...I'm more excited about changing times of day...ooo

That is awesome it looks god!! I can't wait!

I thought they were fun - except I can't get Luna to lift the thestral food, try as I might! And I know katiebell is having the exact same problem!

I loved the look, the sound (both the characters & the soundtrack) and the gameplay. I like not being able to lose. I tend to lose patience with games where I keep dying :lol: I definitely think playing it on the Wii beats out the PC, Gamecube and PS2.

I'd expect it to be that shape but a bit grittier.

bwahaha. I know what you mean. I got through that part, but it took me forever to get through.

I'm really excited for HBP. ^_^ I'm so going to get it.

thats awesomeness!

cool i'm so getting that

i loved the OOTP video game. i played it on the PSP and Wii platform. and indeed the layout of Hogwarts and the grounds is one of the best things about the game. i actually enjoyed the tasks, looking for DA members and doing challenges. i mean not everybody would be so willing to join an underground resistance movement, and being students they have their own concerns-- homework primarily being one of them :lol:. its also a clever way of exploring Hogwarts and having the chance to do different sort of spells at the same time.

what i think is a missed opportunity on the Wii was a really good dueling game, either at the Dueling Club or fighting as a group around the castle grounds/ dept of mysteries. i enjoyed it immensely on the PSP despite the kooky controls (i tell ya Wingardium Leviosa/ Incendio is a pain to do on the PSP, which unfortunately is one of the most common spell that you have to do to get tasks done). but now that they've added the duelling segment in the HBP game, the Wii platform is the console to play HP on.


what platform are you playing it on? when i played it on the Wii it took a bit of practice to figure out how to get the food up the hill (and Luna nagging you to hurry up certainly doesnt help :lol: ), but i finished her task pretty quickly, just Wingardium Leviosa the food one 'stone level" at a time, ignore Luna nagging, and i was done :D

the Luna task for the PSP was different, and i think more challenging. i had to bring down the Weasley Twins' Portable Swamps which were hidden on the roof part of the courtyard. obviously there is no ladder so i had to move big rocks and benches all aroundso i could climb. took me days to figure it out because Luna was giving wrong instructions! :lol:

but yeah i love this game. unlike the other games that i have, even when i've finished it i still play the dueling part specially when i feel like letting off some steam :mwaha:

It looks awesome!!

Both Laurie and I have the Wii versions. Luna is very distracting...and the food constantly slides down for me, even when I balance it against the rocks! :lol: Like I said, I have little to no patience when it comes to perserverence.

oh yes Luna was such a nuisance i kept yelling "shut up Luna!" :D
aww so you havent finished the game? there's a bit more to that, and you have to go up against Snape and his Occlumency-- now thats another challenge that nearly made my wand arm fall off :lol:

^ Nope but no doubt I will go back to it. With an 11 year old brother off school for summer, it's rather hard getting at the TV to play :lol:

Woot, it looks great. =D

Sounds good :D

That looks great!
