Harry Potter and the Secret of EA’s Wii Microphone???

Before this whole article snowballs into a string of Harry Potter puns and jokes about wands, we’ll get straight to the point: GoNintendo has recently mentioned that “a certain site has broken their NDA” and has apparently revealed that Electronic Arts has plans to release a game for the Wii. The game in question will somehow involve the use of a microphone.

There have been speculations that the mystery title will be a Harry Potter game for the Wii (Hmmm… screaming “Avada Kedavra” into a Wii mic attachment? Not bad…), but many are also guessing that this idea was merely generated by a supposed log of an IRC conversation which mentioned the boy wizard. The chatlog was later proven to be a fake, as attested to by the person who originally posted the chatlog, monclo. He explains this in Spanish, and this explanation is translated by Artistic_Anarchy as follows:

And me and Raid were in GoNintendo chat and he posed as if he was in the EA Keynote and began to tell fake information and the people were believing it.

Meanwhile, the folks at GoNintendo has got to say about the whole affair:

Everyone that was with me at the EA event signed the NDA as well, and we canÂ’t talk about this game. I wonÂ’t be posting on it, or discussing it in any way. PLEASE keep from commenting about the site in question, or the news if you have heard it. We donÂ’t want to get in any trouble with EA, which we had the pleasure of building some great relationships with during the week.

So, no. Whatever it is that you may have been hearing about this subject recently, you may want to postpone practicing your “Crucio” chants until further notice.
