Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 has this release-date thing figured out

by Jessica Conditt on Nov 12th 2011 12:30PM

The magical art of Arithmancy can be a huge help to video-game marketing executives, charting the best days to hold a sale, raise prices, or release an entire game. Warner Bros., of course, has access to the best wizards of our age and it was able to calculate the most profitable day to release Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 -- 11-11-11.

Now we just have to figure out which wizards are working with Bethesda and hope they're not evil. Oh, it looks like one of them is named Tom Riddle. That sounds like a safe, friendly name. We should be all right.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 cuts Kinect, launches on July 12

by Ben Gilbert on Jun 22nd 2011 10:30AM

When The Boy Who Lived makes his big return to Hogwarts for the finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he'll be doing it without the aid of motion peripherals on the Xbox 360. EA producer Gary Napper confirmed to Joystiq that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 won't have any Kinect functionality (unlike its predecessor), as the development team at EA Bright Light made a decision "early on to focus on the core of the experience, get as close to the atmosphere of the movie and make the flow of the combat feel right."

The first Deathly Hallows game arrived last November to negative reviews. The sequel will touch down on July 12, just three days before the final movie launches in US theaters. Unfortunately, its short development time -- it's been approximately eight months since the first game launched -- raises questions about how much the sequel can really improve beyond Potter's previous outing.

According to Napper, "We didn't want to dilute any of our efforts on other things that would require a lot of the team's time to perfect." We were told that EA Bright Light currently has two unannounced projects in development.

[Multi] LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 announced for Q4 2011

What's that? LEGO Pirates of the Carribean only just came out recently? Well, Jack Sparrow is going to have to make the most of it before the boy who lived comes back for another block-built outing.

Warner Bros. Interactive have just announced that they plan to release LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 in Q4 of 2011. It will cover the last three books (or last four films) as it leads up to the final confrontation with Lord Voldemort. It will also be available on many platforms just in case you are worried you might miss out, they are as follows: PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Sony's NGP.

Expect more word from Warner Bros. or Travellers Tales at E3, until then just imagine the final confrontation made out of LEGO.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 aiming for all consoles this holiday

by Ben Gilbert on May 19th 2011 11:25AM

If you're as obsessed with the boy who lived as we are, this summer's final chapter in the Harry Potter film series is unlikely to sate your desire for British wizardry. Thankfully, Warner Bros. has announced that the next entry in the Lego Harry Potter series will arrive on pretty much anything that plays video games, sometime "this holiday."

Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 follows Harry and co. through the treacherous final years at Hogwarts, leading up to the seventh book's catastrophic conclusions. Interestingly, the game is one of a handful of announced games for Sony's forthcoming system, the NGP (in addition to the PSP -- they're going to live alongside each other, remember?)

If Lego HP lives up to its promise of launching on all those consoles this holiday, it looks like North America is still set to be one of the first territories getting Sony's new handheld before year's end. Reps from WBIE hadn't gotten back to us as of publishing.
