Harry Potter for Kinect announced by Warner Bros. Interactive

Warner Bros. Interactive has announced that it will be bringing a new Harry Potter game to the Xbox 360 called Harry Potter for Kinect. As the title states, the game will make heavy use of the Kinect motion sensor. The game will follow the story of the films, with players getting to recreate scenes from them as Harry, Hermione, Ron, or their own created characters.

Previous Harry Potter games published by Electronic Arts had featured optional use of Kinect, but this will be the first game published by Warner Bros. using the license aside from the Traveler’s Tales LEGO Harry Potter games.

Player will by able to scan in their faces with the Kinect sensor and put them on customized characters. They will also cast spells using gestures and magic words. Before gamers face off against Voldemort, players can choose a house to join at Hogwarts, partake in quidditch matches, and play some minigames.

The game will also feature competitive and cooperative multiplayer as well.
