Harry Potter Flies Onto PSP
The teenaged wizard finds a home on Sony's portable, completing EA's strategy of releasing the game on everything that uses electrical power.
The fourth Harry Potter movie opens nationwide this weekend and it should do wonders for EA's movie tie-in games. While the console, DS and Game Boy Advance versions shipped last week already, EA confirmed today that it would have the PSP version of the game ready for launch later this week.
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire follows Harry, Ron and Hermione as the school is once again thrown in turmoil when Harry enters the Triwizard Tournament. The game recounts the best bits of the movie and features performances by the trio of lead actors.
The PSP version has been tweaked to better take advantage of what the portable has to offer. There are a variety of WiFi modes that let you and up to three other players battle it out in competitive multiplayer. There are also several mini-games that are exclusive to this version of the game.
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire will be out for PSP on Friday, 18 November. The game is already out for all other consoles and handhelds.
