Harry Potter Gets Vocal: Brand New Trailers
Voice acting for games has improved dramatically in recent years. Last year's Family Guy: The Video Game got the TV show's cast on board, while Angelina Jolie just signed up for Ubisoft's Beowulf to name just a couple. EA wants to show you that the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is no different, so it's released the 'behind the scenes' video below.

Also below is the curiously titled 'Walla' video. Walla, apparently, is a language EA has invented purely for the purpose of generating background noise. By using walla - instead of one of those real languages - EA gets to avoid re-recording the background waffle for different countries. Why EA has named it after a song about going to jail from Th Offspring's popular 1998 album Americana, however, is beyond SPOnG.

EA just announced that, as well as the raft of platforms that Order of the Phoenix will already be released on, the game will also be released on the Mac this summer.
