joystiq.com— ...breaking rumor has EA working on a Harry Potter game using the mic in conjunction with gestures to cast spells. Now that's the type of Wii title we're talking about! "Wingardium Leviosah" FTW!

@BobmysteriosoI think there's a difference between the board itself and where it was made and what you do with it. I mean a lot of people use it to call on spirits, dead people, demons, yadda yadda, that's where concern woud probably come in with children (and other people) playing it.I sorta get the Potter-hating but you gotta remember even Christian others used fantasy elements, I mean there's witches, and fantasy elements in the Chronicles of Narnia and LOTR, but then again in the Harry Potter series..they got BROOMS!If this is true will other consoles have the mic? These games usually get Harry-Potterized over ever system imaginable.
This is something I would have to play in the basement when no one is home. I don't know if I could handle the devastating social wounds that would come out of me shouting "Aveda Kadavra" (or however you spell it) at the television.

"Wingardium Leviosah" FTSTFU. The very thought makes me want to push an awl into each ear. "Bad pronunciation" and "Obnoxious as hell" FTL.

"It's Leviosaah, not levioosah" :P

I think it is just plain silly to think that children would somehow be instilled with evil by playing a game or reading a book.Good trolling though.
