Just like the movie, the latest Harry Potter game has been pushed back. How many tears that'll cost the youth of the world, sadly, we'll never know. What we do know is how much the delay cost EA in missed revenue for the year. While it's ultimately pointless trivia - they'll just make the money next year instead - it's still interesting to see the kinds of bets the company put on their games prior to release. Seems EA were counting on the Half-Blood Prince to do around $120 million worth of business across the 117 platforms it'll be shipping on, a figure so great it represents around 2.5% of the entire company's revenue for the year. Those wizards. They big business. More »

Hell, I even have a playlist in my iTunes called "guilty pleasures" filled with 80's hits and the Harry Potter soundtrack. With the film recently delayed to 2009, we don't know when the game will come out. However, in the meantime we have this trailer to keep you guys busy. More »

Okay, so I like Harry Potter. I checked out the Wii version of EA's upcoming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, slated to drop alongside the film, mainly because I was interested in seeing what kind of magic wand a Wii remote made. More »

Unlike some of my journalistic brethren, I have no problem completely mortifying myself in the face of the internet as evidence by some of my past posts.

Of course, I couldn't post the game trailer up there and then miss out on the opportunity to also post a 'compare and contrast' with the actual movie trailer since it too was just released: More »

I'd say the DS version looks the most entertaining, while the 360 version is ahead in the making Ron Weasley look slightly less unappealing that Rupert Grint actually is category. More »
