Harry Potter Appears at Retail

Today Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive announced that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the tie-in to the fifth movie in the fantasy series, has shipped and is now available for every platform imaginable. Harry's latest videogame outing allows players to explore Hogwarts, as the digital version is an exact replica of the school fans know from the films.

While visiting Hogwarts, feel free to sit in on a class or two or compete in mini-games against the best students from each house. Players will be able to pick up the wands of several favorite characters, including Harry, Dumbledore, and Sirius Black.

The Order of the Phoenix follows Harry's fifth year of study and the rise of Dumbledore's army. Hermione convinces Harry to teach the Army in the ways of the Dark Arts in order to prepare for the battle ahead.
