The title will be based on the 5th book by J.K. Rowling and will be available on most systems (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, DS, GBA and PC) in July next year, released alongside the newest Harry Potter movie. Full press release after the jump

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the first in the franchise that we have developed for the next generation consoles,” said Harvey Elliott, Executive Producer at EA UK. “Together with current generation versions, we are creating an immersive and, above all, faithful Harry Potter experience that will both accurately reflect the world showcased in the film and also delight fans of all ages.”

Interactive Entertainment. “After reading the book and seeing the film, fans will be able to take advantage of the complete interactive experience with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix game.”
