Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1

The gameplay for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will be different from the previous games after developers decided the game required a new direction to suit its growing adult audience. The player will control the character Harry Potter from a third person over-the-shoulder camera, and will be played in the style of a third-person shooter. The Deathly Hallows: Part I game will include a progression system where Harry gains experience and can upgrade his spells.

Combat in Deathly Hallows: Part I will involve casting spells by tapping the buttons (each a different spell) on the d-pad. The player will be able to change the spells on the d-pad by going to the menu and selecting the weapon wheel. Spells that have so far been included in Deathly Hallows: Part I include Stupefy, Expelliarmus, Confringo, Confundo, Wingardium Leviosa, Protego, Expecto Patronum, Crucio and a Four-Points spell that points which way to go. The spells will also have an effect on enemies and the environment with the player being able to use Wingardium Leviosa to throw objects at other players or to clear paths and the Confundo spell being able to make the enemy fight for the player (which is used in a sniper point of view). Head shots will also be a feature in the game with the player being able to control Harry to aim a spell at their opponent's head. Part of the combat sequences will involve the cover-based gameplay to protect themselves against their opponent until it has been destroyed.

Potions will once again be involved with the player being able to mix Exploding Fluid, Elixer of Life (used for regaining health), Felix Felicis and Polyjuice Potion (for stealth missions).

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 videogame is packed from start to finish with action and combat. Players will be on the run, fighting for survival on a desperate and dangerous quest to locate and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes, engaging with Death Eaters and Snatchers in epic battle sequences at every turn. To amplify the action, players will encounter ferocious creatures from the previous films in addition to the adversaries Harry faces in the seventh film. They will need to muster their most powerful magic against relentless assaults from all sides. There are no more lessons, no more training. This time the danger is real. It’s time for players to fight for their lives.
