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. So I will go on record as being a Harry Potter fan. I loved the books, generally enjoyed the films and am anxiously awaiting the final book in the series as well as the new movie.

Of course, a new movie means a new game, and EA has recently opened the doors on the website for the newest HP game, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You can check out some trailers and download the requisite desktop wallpapers and chat icons with some other features coming soon. I'm really looking forward to this new HP game, especially the Wii version due to a control scheme where you get to wave your Wii remote around like a magic wand. Yeah, I like waving around a magic wand. Wanna make something of it? Flynn De Marco

The new Harry Potter game of the movie of the book is due out in a month, and another trailer has been released, this time for the 360 version of The Order of the Phoenix. Prepare to see the most awesome getting hit in the head with a bench scene ever in a videogame.

I seriously shot Vault out of my nose watching that. I'm amazed 'bench to the face' made it into the trailer. It is inordinately beautiful.

Pretty steamy scene between Cho Chang and Harry in there as well, though I'm sure it's nowhere as hot as in the fanfics. Engorgio! Michael Fahey

With the latest installment in the saga of Harry Potter and the Awkwardly Aging Child Actors set to hit screens in July, EA has games coming out for every system you can imagine, and has screens for the DS, PSP, 360, and GBA to prove it. 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.

Just two more movies to go and Grint can go back into his formative cocoon, Watson can pose in lingerie for Maxim, and Radcliffe can open that horse farm he's always wanted. Michael Fahey
