It’s been a while since we’ve seen Harry, but the third Potter movie and fourth Potter game are almost upon us.

For the first time, players of the latest Harry Potter adventure will be able to control Harry’s friends Ron and Hermione to attack various puzzles in the game. Each character will bring with them different attributes that will play a major part in progressing through the game which is based upon the escape of Sirius Black from the Wizard prison of Azkaban.

The game will open with an intense scene aboard Hogwart’s Express and the action, puzzles and story never let up for a moment from then on in. Electronics Arts is developing the game in house for all consoles plus the Game Boy Advance. This means there are whispers of Game Boy Advance to GameCube connectivity but details have yet to be revealed. The game is due for release in May in Australia, so we’ll have a review for you soon.
