Last Potter Game to be Split

Electronic Arts and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment have announced that the latest video game based upon the Harry Potter movies will be split into a two-part adventure.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last of the seven book series written by J.K Rowling and marks the final stages of a quest to destroy Voldemort once and for all.

The decision to split the video game into two parts may not come as a surprise to some, ever since it was revealed the movie would follow a similar fate. There is a lot of ground to cover and the book is effectively split into two main portions: the search for the Horcruxes, and the build up and climax to a spectacular final battle.

"We believe we are creating a Harry Potter game that the high definition 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," says Jonathan Bunney, head of production at EA Bright Light, whose statement is sure to whet fans’ appetites.

Deathly Hallows: Part 1 can be expected around November of this year to coincide with the movie release. The game will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PC, and a host of mobile devices.
