Wii version[]
The Wii version of this game was not available until 21 July, 2007, in conjunction with the movie release, according to EA Games. The Wii version of the game is different from the other versions as you will need to use theWii Remote to cast spells by waving it with the appropriate wrist movements to cast a spell correctly. EA hoped this would give the players using the Wii a more 'WIZARD FEELING'.
The following is a table detailing all the Wii Remote movements in the Wii version of the game.
| Movement | Spells Casted |
|---|---|
| Raising the remote and nunchuk | Wingardium Leviosa andLevicorpus |
| Waving the remote clockwise | Reparo andExpelliarmus |
| Waving the remote anti-clockwise | Reducto |
| Shaking the remote horizontally | Petrificus Totalus,Incendio, andExpecto Patronum |
| Flicking the remote up | Protego andAccio |
| Flicking the remote down | Depulso andRictusempra |
| Pushing the remote and nunchuk forward | Stupefy |
Music[]
The music featured in this game consists of some of the same tunes used in the previous games plus an entirely new, original score composed by James Hannigan. This is the first video game that includes the song titled "Hedwig's Theme," the main theme in the Harry Potter films, for the producers were sold the rights to play the tune.

Achievements[]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the American DS version, the second year Ravenclaw by the Hospital Wing who you have to win the Gobstone from is wearing a red and gold tie made for Gryffindor.
- Lavender Brown is not even mentioned at any point in the game, although there are supposedly 28 DA members just like in the book. However, after telling the Patil twins to meet in the Room of Requirement, the number of members in the room goes up by three, suggesting that they tell Lavender, although this is not mentioned in the game script.
- The duel betweenHarry and theInquisitorial Squad afterDumbledore's Army is discovered (the duel in theRoom of Requirement) is the only duel in the game that cannot be won, as the members cannot be defeated. Later in the game, the duel betweenHarry,Sirius,Lucius andBellatrix can be won or lost, but that does not alter the storyline; Sirius iskilled byBellatrix after the duel regardless of the result.
- Dumbledore's wand is the only wand that is different in the game, he still wields the Elder Wand while everyone else's wand is an exact replica of Harry's.
- Instead of using theIncarcerous Spell on thecentaur in theForbidden Forest, Umbridge uses theCruciatus Curse on him.
- In the PC version, you can lose most of the battles with the Inquisitorial Squad and the game will continue. When you are playing as Dumbledoreduelling against Lord Voldemort, if you lose, the game will continue as if you won with slight changes to their dialogue after battle.
- Areas ofHogwarts castle that are inaccessible in the game are theQuidditch Stadium,Training Grounds,Divination Classroom (you can go up thestaircase to the door, but you can't enter), theSlytherin,Ravenclaw, andHufflepuff Common Rooms (you can go down a staircase in the dungeons that leads to the Slytherin Common Room, but it stops abruptly at the bottom. This is probably the entrance, but you can't get the password), theKitchens, most of theForbidden Forest, theLake (it can be seen, but you can't go right up to it or in it),Dumbledore's Office (it is only seen in cutscenes), theChamber of Secrets (you can open the entrance in the bathroom, however) and thePhilosopher's Stone Chambers (you can go up to a locked door on the third floor level of the Grand Staircase to the right of the normal third floor. Presumably, this is the entrance to whereFluffy was guarding the stone.)
- In some outdoors areas of Hogwarts (i.e. theMiddle Courtyard) if you look around in the discovery view, you can see that parts of Hogwarts were not fully completed, and don't have any window patterns on (such as theBell Towers andTraining Grounds Tower).
- There are noticeable differences in graphical quality between the Wii and PS2 versions and PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as they have a more advanced hardware than the Wii and PS2.
- Many fans were unhappy with inability to explore Hogwarts in the previous game,Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so for this game the designers made sure to include as many areas of Hogwarts to explore as possible, as well as hidden rewards that can be found by exploring. The designers also wanted Hogwarts to look as close to how it appears in the films as possible, so they went back and looked at what they had designed in the previous games to determine what they needed to change, as well as looked at the blueprints of Hogwarts from the films and the notes fromJ. K. Rowling in order to create the most immersive Hogwarts possible.
- However, keen-eyed players will notice that some areas are geographically impossible relative to the exterior layout, such as the fourth and fifth floors connecting at a point where they should both be going in opposite directions and the Seventh Floor landing going over one of the courtyards.
- After hitting her withCrucio in theBattle of the Department of Mysteries, Harry kicksBellatrix's wand into a water grate in a cutscene.
- This was the lastHarry Potter game released for the GBA.
