Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Details

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the next instalment of the huge book, movie and videogame series known the world over. This time around, EA seems to have put quite a bit of effort into the Wii's control scheme, having experimented with some near 1:1 combat and wand-waving last time around. We've asked EA whether they'll be using the MotionPlus adapter, and will let you know if we find out anything juicy.

In the game, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron's romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.

We've got a handful of screens, the logo and a new trailer for you to feast your bespectacled eyes upon. Check them all out below.
