Description
About This Game
The close and synergistic relationship between book, film and videogame
is more defined in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
videogame than ever before. Players will be able to explore the many key
locations within Hogwarts in minute detail, each one a visual match to
its film equivalent, while being engrossed in the thrilling adventures
outlined in the rich narrative of the book.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his
fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding
community has been denied the truth about the teenager’s recent
encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts’ venerable
Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort’s return in order
to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic,
Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to
keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor
Dolores Umbridge’s Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves
the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the
dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at
the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into
his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name
themselves “Dumbledore’s Army,” Harry teaches them how to defend
themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards
for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.
With the ability to play multiple characters, including Harry Potter,
Dumbledore and Sirius Black, the videogame of Harry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix offers fans the opportunity to wield a wand, explore all
around Hogwarts and experience one of the most exciting and dangerous
years in the life of the Boy Who Lived.
