Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is a video game currently being developed by EA's Bright Light Studio and will be published by Electronic Arts. The game will be released on 16 November 2010 in the United States[3] and on 19 November 2010 in the United Kingdom, France, India and Australia [4] to coincide with the film's release date. The game will be released on the Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Mobile platforms.

Gameplay

The gameplay for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will be different from the previous games after developers decided the game required a new direction to suit its growing adult audience.[5][6] The player will control the character Harry Potter from a third person over-the-shoulder camera, and will be played in the style of a third-person shooter.[7][8] The Deathly Hallows: Part I game will include a progression system where Harry gains experience and can upgrade his spells.[8]

Combat in Deathly Hallows: Part I will involve casting spells by tapping the buttons (each a different spell) on the d-pad. The player will be able to change the spells on the d-pad by going to the menu and selecting the weapon wheel.[6] Spells that have so far been included in Deathly Hallows: Part I include Stupefy, Expelliarmus, Confringo, Confundo, Wingardium Leviosa, Protego, Expecto Patronum, Crucio and a Four-Points spell that points which way to go.[2] The spells will also have an effect on enemies and the environment with the player being able to use Wingardium Leviosa to throw objects at other players or to clear paths and the Confundo spell being able to make the enemy fight for the player (which is used in a sniper point of view).[6][8] Head shots will also be a feature in the game with the player being able to control Harry to aim a spell at their opponent's head.[9] Part of the combat sequences will involve the cover-based gameplay to protect themselves against their opponent until it has been destroyed.[10]

Potions will once again be involved with the player being able to mix Exploding Fluid, Elixer of Life (used for regaining health), Felix Felicis and Polyjuice Potion (for stealth missions).[2]

Plot

On June 1, 2010 EA released the plot with the press release for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I:

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 videogame is packed from start to finish with action and combat. Players will be on the run, fighting for survival on a desperate and dangerous quest to locate and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes, engaging with Death Eaters and Snatchers in epic battle sequences at every turn. To amplify the action, players will encounter ferocious creatures from the previous films in addition to the adversaries Harry faces in the seventh film. They will need to muster their most powerful magic against relentless assaults from all sides. There are no more lessons, no more training. This time the danger is real. It’s time for players to fight for their lives.[11]

Development

On February 8, 2010 EA announced their title line-ups for the year with a Harry Potter title slated for the third quarter of the year.[12] On June 1, 2010 EA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment officially announced Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I was in development to be released alongside the film in autumn of 2010.[11] Prior to the game's announcement, EA had launched a campaign through the social networking website, Facebook, where users could "like" the page and therefore eventually reveal the first image which depicted the characters Harry, Ron and Hermione in a forest with their wands pointed at the Snatchers.[13][14] EA Bright Light's Head of Production, Jonathan Bunney, stated,

"The final Harry Potter adventure has given us the opportunity to make a darker and more action-oriented game[...] 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."[15]

A teaser trailer was released online after the game's announcement in a build-up to the E3 Conference showcasing the battle sequences and gameplay.[16] According to the game's creative director, Matt Birch, they had build a brand new game engine to harness the game's demands and new available technologies and will also use Facial Action Coding System (FACS) for the first time.[2][5] The game is currently being developed for the Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mobile and Wii platforms.[17]

Soundtrack

The score to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will be led by James Hannigan, his third Harry Potter video game soundtrack.[2] During an interview with Squareenixmusic.com's Greg O'Connor Read he was asked if he would return for the last game to which he had stated "I'd love to return to the series[...]", and when asked how he would end it he said "[...] it would be great to end the series with a bang!".[18]
