"Discover the Magic of Hogwarts"
— Official tagline

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a video game based on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling and its film adaptation.

The key theme of the game is to explore Hogwarts like never before as well as undertake the missions from the book and film. A press release made by EA Games on 21 November 2006 gave a first glimpse of the characters in the game with Next Generation graphics, as well as an idea of what the game would be like.

The game was released for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and PC/MAC.[1]

Plot[]

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizard community is in denial about his encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Dolores Umbridge, an official from the Ministry of Magic, teaches courses in defensive magic, but this leaves the young wizards unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces that threaten them. Harry teaches other students, in secret, how to defend themselves.

Wii version[]

The Wii version of this game was not available until July 21st, 2007, in conjunction with the movie release, according to EA Games. The Wii version of the game is different from the other versions as you will need to use the Wii Remote to cast spells by waving it with the appropriate wrist movements to cast a spell correctly. EA hoped this would give the players using the Wii a more 'WIZARD FEELING'.

The following is a table detailing all the Wii Remote movements in the Wii version of the game.

Movement Spells Casted
Raising the remote and nunchuk Wingardium Leviosa and Levicorpus
Waving the remote clockwise Reparo and Expelliarmus
Waving the remote anti-clockwise Reducto
Shaking the remote horizontally Petrificus Totalus, Incendio, and Expecto Patronum
Flicking the remote up Protego and Accio
Flicking the remote down Depulso and Rictusempra
Pushing the remote and nunchuk forward Stupefy

Music[]

The music featured in this game consists of some of the same tunes used in the previous games plus an entirely new, original score composed by James Hannigan. This is the first video game that includes the song titled "Hedwig's Theme," the main theme in the Harry Potter films, for the producers were sold the rights to play the tune.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In the American DS version, the second year Ravenclaw by the Hospital Wing who you have to win the Gobstone from is wearing a red and gold tie made for Gryffindor.
  • Lavender Brown is not even mentioned at any point in the game, although there are supposedly 28 DA members just like in the book. However, after telling the Patil twins to meet in the Room of Requirement, the number of members in the room goes up by three, suggesting that they tell Lavender, although this is not mentioned in the game script.
  • The duel between Harry and the Inquisitorial Squad after Dumbledore's Army is discovered (the duel in the Room of Requirement) is the only duel in the game that cannot be won, as the members cannot be defeated. Later in the game, the duel between Harry, Sirius, Lucius and Bellatrix can be won or lost, but that does not alter the storyline; Sirius is killed by Bellatrix after the duel regardless of the result.
  • Dumbledore's wand is the only wand that is different in the game, he still wields the Elder Wand while everyone else's wand is an exact replica of Harry's.
  • Instead of using the Incarcerous Spell on the centaur in the Forbidden Forest, Umbridge uses the Cruciatus Curse on him.
  • In the PC version, you can lose most of the battles with the Inquisitorial Squad and the game will continue. When you are playing as Dumbledore duelling against Lord Voldemort, if you lose, the game will continue as if you won with slight changes to their dialogue after battle.
  • Areas of Hogwarts castle that are inaccessible in the game are the Quidditch Stadium, Training Grounds, Divination Classroom (you can go up the staircase to the door, but you can't enter), the Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff Common Rooms (you can go down a staircase in the dungeons that leads to the Slytherin Common Room, but it stops abruptly at the bottom. This is probably the entrance, but you can't get the password), the Kitchens, most of the Forbidden Forest, the Lake (it can be seen, but you can't go right up to it or in it), Dumbledore's Office (it is only seen in cutscenes), the Chamber of Secrets (you can open the entrance in the bathroom, however) and the Philosopher's Stone Chambers (you can go up to a locked door on the third floor level of the Grand Staircase to the right of the normal third floor. Presumably, this is the entrance to where Fluffy was guarding the stone.)
  • In some outdoors areas of Hogwarts (ie. the Middle Courtyard) if you look around in the discovery view, you can see that parts of Hogwarts were not fully completed, and don't have any window patterns on (such as the Bell Towers and Training Grounds Tower).
  • There are noticeable differences in graphical quality between the Wii and PS2 versions and PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as they have a more advanced hardware than the Wii and PS2.
  • Many fans were unhappy with inability to explore Hogwarts in the previous game, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so for this game the designers made sure to include as many areas of Hogwarts to explore as possible, as well as hidden rewards that can be found by exploring. The designers also wanted Hogwarts to look as close to how it appears in the films as possible, so they went back and looked at what they had designed in the previous games to determine what they needed to change, as well as looked at the blueprints of Hogwarts from the films and the notes from J. K. Rowling in order to create the most immersive Hogwarts possible.
    • However, keen-eyed players will notice that some areas are geographically impossible relative to the exterior layout, such as the fourth and fifth floors connecting at a point where they should both be going in opposite directions and the Seventh Floor landing going over one of the courtyards.
  • After hitting her with Crucio in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Harry kicks Bellatrix's wand into a water grate in a cutscene.
  • This was the last Harry Potter game released for the GBA.
