G4TV has a new article out about the Electronic Arts press conference at the GCDC ’08. In the article it says:

9:40AM – […] Then he shows a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince game, and James and Oliver Phelps, who play the Weasley twins in the movies, come out and play it. Castable spells, potions, story play, Quidditch. Pretty amazing looking.

If I find any more information I will post it! Thanks Renata!

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.”

More news will be posted as this develops
