Harry Potter fans will experience the magic and peril of Harry’s third year at Hogwarts in the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban videogame shipping in spring 2004, Electronic Arts announced today.
For the first time gamers will play as friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as well as Harry Potter, switching between characters and utilizing their key attributes and skills to resolve challenges and overcome enemies. The three friends will need to combine their strengths and master a variety of new spells as they face Harry’s most terrifying opponents yet: the escaped convict Sirius Black and the Dementors, the sinister guards of Azkaban prison.
From the opening scene on the Hogwarts Express to the climatic finale on the shore of the great lake at Hogwarts, the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban videogame will immerse players in the magical world of Harry Potter. Players will unravel the mystery surrounding Sirius Black and his escape from the infamous wizard prison Azkaban, as they take part in the most exciting and challenging Harry Potter videogame adventure yet. Gamers will encounter a host of new characters and creatures, engage in a variety of sub-quests, fly on a Hippogriff, reveal the secrets of the Marauder’s Map, and take on their friends in multiple two-player challenges.
Under development by EA’s UK Studio, the team behind the worldwide success of the Harry Potter library of games that have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is scheduled for release for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PC CD-ROM.

Yes! Finally we can play as other people! Harry really annoys me on the games, so that's a good thing.

Cool! We get to play other people too! It's a good thing, too, that it comes before the movie, the wait won't be so boring! What I don't get is: why are we supposed to fight Sirius? Would he be able to kill us since he's "more terrifying" than Voldie and the snake? lol, whatever. Idiots...

Yeah, I was wondering why Sirius would try to hurt Harry, Ron or Hermione, especially with Lupin there.

It's a cool twist to the gameplay. Besides, he would probably not try to harm them, but they would jump to conclusions and think he was, therefore they would want to defend themsleves.

But Sirius wouldn't fire an attack, he would only defend himself. (if it is like dueling in CoS game) cause he would be firing attacks for no reason.
