The magic of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Wii style

Doing things in Wii style usually means gesticulating in ways you normally wouldn’t do. Whereas casting magic in games usually requires a button press or mouse click, the Wii wants you to wave your magic wand (the Wiimote) to get the job done.

GameTrailers has a new trailer for Electronic Arts‘ latest Harry Potter game, featuring just that. In this trailer, which clocks in at 1:32, watch two kids use the Wiimote and Nunchuk to perform magic spells, such as firing bolts of force and levitating objects. It’s a different way to feel the magic, that’s for sure, and we certainly appreciate the gesture.

In any case, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is now out in stores. Watch the trailer, get a feel for Wii-styled magic, and conjure up some cash if you want to grab a copy for yourself.
