Potter play

Ok, potential Potter spoilers ahead so turn away now if you haven't read and still care. So anyone else read Deathly Hallows over the weekend? I tried to resist but ended up ploughing through it, odd stodgy chapter and all. But while the books are finally over the industry will be whirring on for years. Think theme parks, films and, of course, games. And it's the developers at EA I feel a little sorry for. Flawed it may have been but Order of the Phoenix - the latest game - offered a wonderfully realised Hogwarts that was a pleasure to explore. But if you've read the final book you'll know that Hogwarts is on the periphery of the action until the end of the book. The meat of the story is set in a large number of short-term locations and promises to be a nightmare for the developers. Yes, there are some obvious set pieces, particularly at the start, but how EA will make an interesting game out of the mid section - Harry Goes Camping - remains to be seen.
