As we reported yesterday, EA, the makers of the Harry Potter video games, launched the first trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince game. There was also news about a new game website, which has now gone live via this link.

The site is in the very early stages, with only the new trailer online, and some very nice music playing and a cool potions lab screen shot in the background. As a side note, we do have stills, screencaps and the trailer for download here in our video galleries as well. On the new EA “Half-Blood Prince” site is a description of the game, as well as news that you will be able to go to Potions class, with mini games and demo due in the coming months. Across the top of the screen is the logo for the game and the words “Coming November 14th. “Of interest is the fact that this November 14th date is of course earlier than the previously announced release date of November 21, 2008 for the movie. As new features continue to go live on the EA website we will continue to update.

A reminder that pre-orders for theWindows platform and Wii platform of the game are now available in our Cauldron Shop.

Thanks to all who owled!

I look forward to the game. I wonder if there will be more locations such as all the places DUmbledore takes Harry in the Pensieve? I have to say also, that the soundtrack for these games, especially in OOTP are fantastic. Totally seperate music from the movies done by different composers. This new one sounds really good too.

There is something strange about the colour coordination layout on here, is this a new look? Not sure I like it, seems rather jarring and blocky. Much prefer how it was.

Sorry, strike my last, looks like there was just a temporary glitch in my machine or the website.

Looks promising, I’ll get it for Wii. Also, I want the trailer to come out today, seeing as it’s the 4th of July. What could be better than that? If not today, sometime this weekend, or next week. Or else. >.<

Hang on a moment, I’m confused- is the game supposed to come out the same day the movie does or before, like the OOTP game?

Not really big news. The OotP video game came out like a week before the movie. By the way, the US site says Nov. 13.

The last 2 games were released at least a week prior to the film, so the Nov. 14th date fits in.

Cool trailer for the game—I got goosebumps seeing the dark mark over Hogwarts and Hagrid’s hut smoldering.

The HBP game has a new music score by James Hannigan, who did the OotP game.
