Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts will soon be out in cinemas, but here we have the accompanying video game, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, coming out before the movie, so fans can get sneak peeks through the game.

Now that we know for sure that Electronic Arts is taking Harry by broom straight to the Mugglefest that is E3, the publisher drops us a trailer and shows us the kind of magic we can expect from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Features trailer coming right up.

If by some odd twist of fate you still haven't read the books or you're counting on the movies for your Potter knowledge, stop reading now 'cause this one is gonna be spoiler-dense for you. Electronic Arts has just rolled out the gameplay details for the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it's bringing the magic to every platform out there: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS, Mobile, Mac, and PC.

Finally. The Potter gang is back (this time with more raging hormones and some erstwhile snogging behind curtains in between classes). After the whole ordeal with the "Harry Potter and the delayed video game" scenario, we get a street date notched in stone. The game was delayed due to the rescheduling of the movie, but now that mid-2009 is here, we can expect the game to finally roll in. What's more is that the game is coming out a few weeks ahead of the movie too!

Following Electronic Arts' press release yesterday about their video game for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince being delayed to summer of next year, an SEC document reveals some info on how much the company stands to lose. Since the game won't be released this year, their projected forecast for the 2008 fiscal year report would be US$ 120 million short!

Guess it's now official. Following the announcement of the movie's delay, Electronic Arts has now announced via press release that their video game for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be delayed to coincide with the movie's screening next year. Oh well. I'm sure the wait's worth it. Besides, free-roaming in Hogwarts... with Hermione? Aww... Definitely worth it.

 How much grief must a muggle bear? Just days after news hit that Warner Brothers was pushing the release of the sixth movie in the septology into 2009 comes this quote from an Electronic Arts spokesman regarding the fate of the videogame adaptation:

“We are making a great game that Harry Potter fans will really enjoy — we are evaluating the impact of the movie date change,”

Yes, but what does that mean? Find out what we think after the jump.

Fans of Electronic Arts' Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, DS, Wii, GBA, PC, Mac) should know that the video game version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been officially announced. For more information on this game, check out the full article.
