The game promises to follow the plot of the sixth book, and will be intimately tied to the film by the sound of things (for better or worse).

Expect a polished entry firmly placed in the 'action-adventure' category here.

"We believe that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince video game represents a milestone in the tie-in genre," offered studio boss Harvey Elliott. "Building on the technological advancements of previous games in the series and with a particular focus on the unique control system of Nintendo’s Wii, the team here is working closely with the filmmakers to create an immersive interactive experience that captures the story, the action, the excitement and, above all, the fun of the film."
