It's time to ditch the LEGO wands and dorky school kids; EA is bringing Harry Potter back to gaming consoles in a bold new way. This gritty re-imagining of the Harry Potter franchise is based on an upcoming television series currently in development for FX.

The teaser trailer for the TV show hints that the plot will surround a new Potter story that expands upon some of the secondary characters established in the popular books and films.

While no gameplay video was released, the trailer for the TV show highlights the dark direction of the new series. This ain't your baby brother's Harry Potter.

Details on gameplay are scarce, but we've been promised "dynamic rooftop spell battles" and an interrogation system similar to the one seen in Rockstar's L.A. Noire. While no platforms are officially announced (there isn't even an official title yet), knowing EA's history they'll be spreading this M-rated Potter across everything with a power plug this fall.

Anyone who thought Potter was over is an idiot. This will be the Star Wars of our generation.

I knew it was a damn joke. Some people had to ruin it cause I knew the Potter nerds would fall over this and it would make Ape angry. People have to ruin good things >: (

ZmbieFlavrdCupcakes

uhm no because the 'potter nerds' had already seen this if theyre devoted to the series
seriously, where is your logic?

MarcTheFallen

Not really. Potter nerds don't follow IGN religiously since it's gaming website and not devoted to HP and it's homosexual fan base.

ZmbieFlavrdCupcakes

no but they are devote to the SERIES and anything that has to do with it including an article like that
