EA has released a demo of the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game. You can download the demo at this link! The real game will be released June 30, 2009.

The clash of elements transpires when Harry Potter is rescued from sea-dwelling beasts by Dumbledore, who sets the ocean ablaze with a bolt of fire. Harry bobs to the surface only to find himself surrounded by a fiery tornado.
