You've heard that the Wii version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will have magic spells that you activate by waving the Wiimote. Well, here's a video from EA's recent Gamers' Day showing exactly how that'll work. So far it's not that amazing – it just seems like the wand waving is replacing what would ordinarily be done with a button press on the other platforms. Plus, anyone knows that Wingardium Leviosa requires a swish and a flick.
But the idea of a free-roaming Hogwarts, sort of like Bully with magic instead of spitballs, is interesting.
