Cover Art for New Harry Potter DVD Game, More

Thanks to WB we now have new nice quality artwork for the newly announced Harry Potter Wizarding World DVD game. Due out now on December 1st (not 8th as released earlier) with the HBP, and first two Ultimate Collectors DVDs, the cover for the new DVD game can be seen here, with the back image here. WB describes the game as follows:

“This is a sequel to the current Harry Potter Hogwarts Challenge game.
The player is back at Hogwarts, attending years four, five, and six,
and engaging in activities incorporating elements from the fourth,
fifth, and sixth films. Because the fiction for these books and films
explores areas outside Hogwarts, to make the new game more interesting,
we propose that gameplay include such areas as well. Thus, whilst the
Harry Potter Hogwarts Challenge game focused primarily on classroom
gameplay, the sequel would feature classroom gameplay and activities
which take place in Harrys world outside Hogwarts.

As with the
previous game, the player must successfully complete the activities
associated with a particular year before moving on to the next, and
each gameplay activity will be set up through establishing
shots/location clips from the films, with narration providing any
instructions or other information relevant to that activity. Students
finish each year and advance to the next by completing a year End
Challenge inspired by a pivotal event from each of films four, five,
and six, respectively. The first player to complete each activity for
all three years will be allowed to play a bonus activity, and will win
the game.“
