Harry Potter Finale is a Two Parter
Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive have today announced the development of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The book has been split into two parts for the movie treatment and the game is doing the same, with two full length releases.
The first part is set entirely outside the familiar confines of Hogwarts and his heavily focused on action - with Harry and friends battling Horcruxes, Death Eaters and Snatchers.

"The final Harry Potter adventure has given us the opportunity to make a darker and more action-oriented game than we have before," says Jonathan Bunney, VP, Head of Production at EA Bright Light. "We believe we are creating a Harry Potter game that the HD console gaming generation will appreciate and enjoy. We have built new technology specifically to allow us to prove that magic is a truly potent force and, in this game, players will need to use all their skills if they want to survive."
"We have enjoyed a tremendous partnership with EA in collaborating on the Harry Potter videogames," said David Heyman, Producer of the Harry Potter films series. "Over the years, the games have grown ever closer to the films in their art direction and in their spirit so it is exciting to know that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 videogame will capture the action and suspense of the upcoming film."
Expect to see Part 1 later this year on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC and mobile.
