In case you are unfamiliar with the games, though, the series puts you in a GTA/Bully-esque sandbox-style world, only you're spending your time at Hogwarts and aren't issuing magical commands to give people wedgies (accio underpants!). When Order of the Phoenix was announced for the Wii way back when, Potterheads everywhere salivated over using the Wiimote as a wand. Upon playing the game, though, it turned out the controls weren't very well-executed. We're too jaded to get our hopes up again, but EA made mention of the company's focus on waggle this time around. If there's any license-based series that we want to like, it's this one, so hopefully EA can deliver.

Oh joy, the most overrated series of anti-literature now coming to a Walmart near you!
Put down the stick and leave the horse alone, kids.

You're one of those people that hate anything that's hyped, aren't you? Harry Potter is wonderful and fun.

Cesaria, I don't hate everything that's hyped. Once again, losers on this blog making idiotic assumptions.

I wasn't really into Harry Potter. But I'm always glad that more games come out for the Wii. Whether they be good or bad, they ensure other companies that there's room for their product as well.

Trying not to get my hoped up for this one, but the last one was actually pretty decent. Surprising to say the least.

I for one really enjoyed Harry Potter...
It's my dirty little Wii secret
The only slight frustration was some of the NPC's conversation got a little annoying!
Cue lots of people laughing
