Edge-Online has a new article out about the effect the push back of the Half-Blood Prince movie will have on the release of the video game.

Analyst Todd Greenwald with Signal Hill said, “Though EA is not to blame for this delay, the negative impact will likely be the same nonetheless. … We doubt that EA will attempt to release the title without the movie. It’s definitely a reversal of the way things usually work. Usually the movie’s on time, and EA’s late with the game.  But EA has the game pretty much done and ready, now the movie’s delayed.”

EA has yet to announce a final decision on the matter. The publisher told Edge in an e-mail,  “We are making a great game that Harry Potter fans will really enjoy–we are evaluating the impact of the movie date change.”
